Guttering
Guttering is a vital part of a rainwater system, as it diverts rainwater away from the building, protecting both the structure and the foundations. Guttering can come in a range of sizes to suit the shape and size of your roof: the larger or steeper the roof, the more concentrated the flow of rainfall will be.
Our guttering comes in a variety of materials: aluminium, GRP, cast iron, copper, zinc and stainless steel. Different materials are suitable to different styles of homes, both aesthetically and functionally. Our aluminium guttering is our most popular choice, due to its long lifecycle and reasonable price.
At Rainguard we offer four different styles of Aluminium guttering, each with a variety of properties and benefits that will suit different sizes and types of properties. This range extends from XL and SL Aluminium rainwater systems as well as Standard and Cast Aluminium which can all offer you something different. You can pair aluminium gutters with our Aluminium Downpipes for a complete finish.
