If you’re researching guttering systems and have come across the term “ogee,” you may be wondering: what is ogee guttering and why is it a popular choice for many homeowners and building professionals.
Understanding Ogee Guttering
Ogee guttering is a uniquely shaped guttering system characterised by its decorative, S-shaped profile.
The term “ogee” originates from architectural design and refers to a curve that combines both concave and convex lines, lending it a distinctive style and added aesthetic appeal.
Ogee-style guttering offers a traditional look that dates back to the Victorian era, yet it remains widely used in modern construction.
Key Features of Ogee Guttering
- High capacity for effective water flow
- Distinctive front face for a more decorative touch
- Retaining clip pre-fitted for fast, user-friendly installation
- Available in aluminium
- Offered in various colours to match your property’s exterior
- Designed with a running outlet to direct rainwater efficiently
- Suitable for both domestic rainwater systems and commercial buildings
Why Choose an Ogee Gutter System?
The ogee gutter system provides the perfect balance between style and functionality.
It’s a popular choice among those looking to add a decorative touch to their home while still requiring the high performance expected of modern guttering.
Unlike half-round or square systems, ogees’ unique design gives it the ability to handle a high capacity of water, making it ideal for the UK’s often unpredictable weather.
