Freefoam's Freeflow Sales Up 86%

Freefoam Plastics, a market leader in environmentally friendly and UV protected roofline and rainwater products, has reported record sales of its Freeflow rainwater system with year-to-date sales in the UK up 86% on last year.

Customers have cited the innovative, high quality and user friendly features of the product as the major reasons for choosing the Freeflow system over competing rainwater products.

The Freeflow rainwater system is available in square, half round, ogee and deep styles. Each system is co-extruded with a white interior and a range of exterior colours – Freefoam's innovative solution to the problems associated with rapid heat absorption and expansion of gutters.

The system has been designed to ensure both reliable, leak-free performance and quick installation. In addition, Freeflow products come in a range of standard colours including white, black and brown, while other colours are available on special order.

Aidan Harte, Finance Director, said: "We are delighted that our significant investment in the research and development of the Freeflow rainwater system has resulted in such a high quality, innovative product.

"It is particularly pleasing that this investment has been recognised by the market and has resulted in record sales throughout the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe.

"Our confidence in the system is reinforced by the 20 year extended guarantee that we offer on all registered installations," he added.
