All Alumasc Steel Guttering

They provide robust capacity, low thermal movement, and excellent impact resistance - ideal for long eaves and exposed sites.

Yes. They’re factory-coated for uniform colour, corrosion protection, and fast installation without site painting.

Both - box or half-round profiles suit modern architecture, while coated heritage tones make them viable for traditional façades.

Copper and zinc systems can last 80–100 years in the right environment, developing a natural patina that protects the metal. Galvanised or coated steel systems generally last 40–60 years depending on coating type, exposure and maintenance.

Minimal maintenance is needed. Periodic clearing of leaves and checking fixings is sufficient. The metals naturally form protective oxide layers or coatings, so repainting is not required unless specified.

Yes. Copper, zinc and steel are all infinitely recyclable with minimal loss of quality. Alumasc sources responsibly produced metals with high recycled content and low embodied carbon.

Most systems use mechanical joints or sliding connections with EPDM or neoprene gaskets. Copper and zinc are usually jointed by soldering, standing seams or hidden clips, while steel systems use push-fit or bolted unions with gaskets.

Mixing dissimilar metals should be avoided due to galvanic corrosion risk. Always use separation layers, same-metal fittings, and compatible fasteners recommended by Alumasc.
