Pipe systems for soil and waste evacuation from buildings, and rainwater gutters and downpipes on buildings
Polymer pipe systems help you build to specification, on time, and meet regulations.
Polymer pipe systems have a strong history of building regulations compliance, they are covered by recognised standards, and third-party product certification is commonly available. BPF Pipes Group members manufacture branded products that are supported by third-party product certification for added assurance.
Polymer pipe systems can meet your required specifications. BPF Pipes Group members offer extensive choice and wide availability of products, and a comprehensive range of features to suit e.g. sizes, colours, finishes.
Polymer pipe systems can save time, offering flexibility to correct for misalignment, and are easier to handle due to lighter weight (per m) than other material types. Systems are available with different joint types, including speedy push-fit.
Polymer pipe systems can provide hassle free solutions - high corrosion resistance ensures polymer systems are low maintenance.
