Crafted from 0.7mm solid zinc, these gutters offer a sustainable and low-maintenance alternative to traditional PVC or cast iron, boasting a potential lifespan of up to 100 years.

FAQs
How long will these zinc gutters last?
When installed correctly, these zinc gutters have a potential lifespan of up to 100 years.
Do I need to paint the zinc gutters?
No, zinc is a self-protecting material that develops a natural grey patina over time, requiring no painting or chemical treatments.
Can I install these myself?
While it is possible for a skilled DIYer, zinc requires specific rivets and sealant techniques. If you are not experienced with metal roofing or gutter installation, professional assistance is recommended.
Is the zinc recyclable?
Yes, zinc is 100% recyclable, making it one of the most sustainable materials available for rainwater systems.
What is the primary benefit of the folded back edge?
The folded back edge provides additional structural rigidity, ensuring the gutter maintains its shape and profile even under heavy rain loads.
Troubleshooting
Leaks appearing at the joints
Ensure that the joint surfaces were clean before applying silicone sealant and verify that the rivets were tightened correctly during installation.
Gutter sagging over time
Check that the support brackets are spaced correctly according to load-bearing requirements and ensure all fixings are securely fastened to the fascia board.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Metal Gutta system is a permanent endeavor that requires specific tools. Use professional-grade zinc rivets to secure sections and high-quality silicone sealant to ensure all joints remain watertight. It is compatible with a wide range of preformed corners and outlets that allow for a custom layout to fit your building’s dimensions. Regarding care, zinc is largely self-maintaining. It is recommended to clear the guttering of debris, such as fallen leaves, at least twice a year to prevent blockages, but unlike other materials, it does not require painting or specialized protective coatings.
