Lindab
Lindab Rainline is the roof drainage system that offers the highest quality when it comes to combining durability, flexibility and ease of installation. It has been developed by professionals for professionals. And, overtime, it has become their top choice. Not least because Lindab Rainline's hard wearing properties ensure decades of performance without rusting or leaking.

Bespoke
Many bespoke commissions start with a client who is trying to reproduce a casting in the style or shape of a pattern which is no longer available. TBS’s in-house technical team will be able to work with either a sample from site to replicate an existing casting or a detailed drawing to create a product to a completely new design.

Deciding on a material can be tricky and shouldn’t just be done on design alone, consideration also needs to be placed on the life cycle of your chosen material.
