Wade Building Drainage launches its first interactive product brochure
Wade Building Drainage launches its first interactive product brochure
Wade has been established as a leader in quality drainage solutions for more than 60 years, designing and manufacturing industry-leading products from its state-of-the-art facility in Halstead. As part of the new digital literature portfolio being rolled out by parent company Alumasc Water Management Solutions (AWMS), Wade has now launched its first digital, interactive product brochure.
The new Wade Drainage Brochure comprises over 90 pages of product data and technical specifications, with the product offer being split into Adjustable Height and Fixed Height gully solutions. The brochure is presented as a fully interactive PDF, optimised for use on all devices. The new, clearly marked page tabs make navigation of the brochure quick and easy, guiding the reader around the most extensive range of cast iron, stainless steel and nickel bronze gully drainage solutions on the market.
Wade's Vari-Level range is included, boasting over 2000 product combinations to cater for almost any application. This unrivalled standard product range is supported by Wade's bespoke manufacturing service for tailored project specification, alongside a comprehensive range of accessories built on 60 years of design and application expertise.
The new brochure plays an important role in the company's evolution, offering an easy-access, user-friendly aid for product specification. But Wade has proudly nurtured solid relationships over the past six decades, and its ethos stands resolute. It remains essential to Wade, that its technical support team is always easily contactable, and that its provision of real-time expert advice and assistance will always be its foundation.
Commercial Director, John Coe, says the use of technology is being used to further strengthen the company's overall service-offer:
"At Wade we are proud of our loyal client-base and the relationships we have enjoyed with our industry colleagues over many years. The new Wade Drainage Brochure has been designed with them in mind: making the specification of Wade products quicker and easier, and ensuring product data is more accessible than ever. These developments are a great opportunity for us to progress and meet modern customer expectations. Importantly, the brochure will not serve to replace our in-house technical experts, but is intended to reinforce our existing support provision. By combining the two, we put our customers in the strongest possible position."
Wade's continuing programme of research and development ensures that designers and installers are consistently afforded the greatest flexibility to create efficient, visually appealing drainage systems, in new build and refurbishment projects across all sectors.

AWMS: Essential non-combustible drainage solutions for high-rise construction
The introduction of the new Building Safety Act in April 2022 was cited by the government as the biggest transformation in how tall structures are designed, constructed and managed, in almost 40 years.
The Act enforces compliance to Building Regulations restricting the use of combustible materials in the external walls and specified attachments for residential blocks of flats, student accommodations, care homes, sheltered housing, hospitals and dormitories in boarding schools, with a storey above 11 metres in height. It also reinforces the personal responsibility of all parties involved in the construction process.
Within those Building Regulations, sits BS EN8579:2020 – A Guide to the design of Balconies and Terraces, which puts further emphasis on the importance of fire safety in the drainage design of balconies and terraces. It scrutinises the use of combustible materials, such as plastics, in their construction and stipulates that components used should:
Neither be composed of materials nor provide a medium for spread of fire
Not propagate fire downwards by falling brands or flaming/molten droplets or debris
Be designed to minimize the risk of becoming detached from the face of the building
Minimize the risk of prejudicing the stability of the building from structural fire stress
Alumasc Water Management Solutions is the UK’s leading manufacturer of integrated non-combustible rainwater and drainage systems encompassing the entire building envelope. To address the newly introduced design requirements we have developed a fully-compliant drainage solution specifically suited to the rigours of high-rise building construction.
The system incorporates Harmer Aluminium Roof Outlets featuring new extended spigots connecting directly to a welded spigot on Alumasc’s Aluminium Downpipes. Both products have a well-established track record of use in the high-rise building sector, but these new developments now present an efficient and compliant package which keeps our building industry colleagues up-to-date with ongoing regulatory changes.
The Harmer Aluminium Roof Outlet range is a high-performance rainwater drainage system suitable for all types of flat roof application, including balconies and terraces. The new spigots for connection to our aluminium downpipe systems eliminate any potential incompatibility which may occur when specifying unrelated products, resulting in quick, easy installation and its associated cost-savings. High flow performance and low maintenance provide complete reassurance which is critical to building drainage design.
Alumasc Aluminium Downpipes have a history of specification on many high-rise projects, and are available in a range of popular profiles. The inherent lightweight nature of aluminium makes them perfect for use at height, whilst their material hardness and fixing mechanisms, give excellent rigidity and high impact resistance.
Both Harmer Roof Outlets and Aluminium Downpipes are BBA approved powder coated, making them A2-s1, d0 fire rated, ensuring conformity to the new regulations in most applications.
To complete the AWMS high-rise offer, the Harmer Modulock Pedestal System offers a range of non-combustible, raised pedestals designed to create level flooring in any building application where sloped, stepped or irregular surfaces present a challenge; perfect for balconies and terraces.
They are manufactured from mild steel with a highly durable zinc nickel, corrosion-resistant finish, making them A1 fire rated. The self-levelling head option is ideal for use with both paving slabs and timber, or a fixed head option is available for use with paving only.
This complete package of non-combustible outlets, downpipes and pedestals is 100% recyclable.
