Plastic guttering
If you want a reliable but low-cost guttering system, plastic is a great choice. Plastic is easy to install and can withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions without becoming damaged or worn. Opt for plastic guttering if you are working on a property in an area of high rainfall, as the material is great at handling high volumes of water.
Plastic is versatile, too, with many different profiles and colours available for all kinds of buildings.
Steel guttering
For a low-maintenance system that’s easy to install and eco-friendly, go for steel guttering. For products in this category, the steel is coated on both sides by a strengthened magnesium zinc alloy. This protects the material from erosion. The surface is also given an additional topcoat for a scratch-resistant finish, which helps resist corrosion in coastal environments.
How to choose gutter profiles
There are a number of different profiles available within roofline guttering, from more traditional styles to more contemporary styles, and other profiles that have been designed specifically for efficiency.
Half-round gutters
Half-round guttering is one of the most popular guttering profiles available. As simple as the name suggests, a half-round gutter consists of a half-cylinder, with the open side facing skywards. Half-round gutter profiles are perfect for both traditional and more contemporary properties, as they provide a simple and uniform profile with smooth curves that allow any rainwater to run smoothly down and into the centre of the gutter channel.
Deep flow gutters
Deep style gutters are designed specifically for areas in which the levels of rainfall or water runoff are higher than average. Deep style gutters are very similar to half-round gutters, but just with a deeper channel, meaning more water can be held within the gutter system. These deep style gutters are particularly useful for refurbishment projects, domestic buildings in areas of high rainfall, and buildings with large roof areas.
Square line gutters
Square line guttering can hold a higher volume of water than other types of guttering, enabling a larger quantity of water to pass through the system. It is most commonly manufactured from plastic, so square line guttering is an affordable, durable, and easy-to-clean drainage system for any home.
Ogee gutters
The ogee gutter system includes a traditional ‘s’ curved style gutter with a complete range of matching fittings to ensure a water-tight professional installation. An additional benefit for customers is the symmetrical shape of the ogee gutter which eliminates the need to stock a range of left and right hand parts. Square or round pipe systems may be fitted to the ogee gutter system.
