• Kameleo
Kameleo is the smart answer to tight corners.
Modular and variably angled, Kameleo offers contractors the real possibility of saving time, effort and money, even on challenging sites.
Normally, a combination of hard bends (45°, 22.5° and 11.25°) are used to connect pipes which do not make a specific angle. Kameleo is different - its continuously variable angle from 0 to 45° means that using two, three or more bends is a thing of the past. Kameleo is a variable angle bend with a variety of connection kits for the ultimate in flexibility and simplified logistics.

Why specify cast iron?
- Fire safety - Cast iron is non-combustible and does not require any fire protection (approved Doc B), and will not emit toxic gases or sooty smog.
- Acoustic performance - Ensign significantly out-performs the latest acoustic lined Plastic systems and HDPE systems by up to 10 dB(A) for structure-borne noise and 4-5dB(A) for airborne noise.
- Longevity - When a building is modernised every 15 or 20 years, the cast iron elements along with structure will likely remain, and should last the life of the building. The most appropriate proven material is cast iron recognised for its fit and forget advantages - the ideal choice for PFI projects.
- Strength - High resistance to accidental impact damage, mishandling on site and vandalism.
- Sustainability - Saint-Gobain cast iron systems are manufactured from 97% recycled material (scrap) which are in turn 100% recyclable at the end of their extended life span of in excess of 50 years.

Rainwater harvesting
Rainwater harvesting has the potential to save a large volume of mains water and reduce pressure on resources. Water that would otherwise be lost can be used instead to flush toilets, water gardens and feed washing machines.
Greenworks works with several suppliers to offer customers the best rainwater harvesting solution for their specific circumstances.
