Frequently Asked Questions

What are concealed downpipes and why should I choose them for my commercial building?

Concealed downpipes are drainage systems fully integrated within the canopy’s upright support posts. You should choose them to maintain clean, uninterrupted architectural lines, improve aesthetics, and protect the pipework from vandalism or damage.

How does a concealed system affect the overall efficiency of water drainage?

The system is highly efficient. Water is collected in the integrated gutter and channels directly down through the interior of the columns, maintaining high flow capacity and ensuring that all water is safely directed to the ground, a soakaway, or a drainage point.

Is a concealed downpipe system compatible with all Aliport canopy models?

They are compatible with the majority of our post-supported aluminium canopy systems. Our design team will confirm suitability during the design phase, ensuring seamless integration and optimal function.

Does installing concealed downpipes increase the project cost significantly?

While they represent a slight upgrade over external downpipes, the cost is typically justified by the enhanced aesthetics, the protection from accidental damage, and the overall improved professional finish they bring to the structure.

How does this system prevent blockages since the pipework is internal?

The gutter systems above the downpipes are designed with appropriate leaf guards or debris filters. The pipe aperture within the posts is also wide enough to handle standard flow, and the system is still accessible for cleaning if required.
