Guttering and ancillaries

Guttering - the final finishing touch to your roof, be it quad for a clean smooth look, or o'gee for that heratage look, or square guttering to give you more water catchment area. We also look at fascia and downpipes and how they work together to enhance the look of your house.

There are many different styles of guttering, but we will cover the four main types:

  • Quad - used on approx 80% of all new houses, and the main choice for the majority of guttering jobs. (Pictured above)
  • Square - larger capacity and face height, prodominantly used on farm houses and some tiled rooves.
  • O'gee - used mostly in Victoria for a heritage look
  • Half round - used on architectural buildings for effect, and other situations where maximum capacity is needed.

The next section is for downpipes:

  • Square downpipes
  • Round downpipes
  • Spreaders
  • Rainheads
  • Box gutters

The last section is for fascia:

  • Timber fascia
  • Metal fascia

Below is an explenation of each, pictures and sizes to help you understand more about each. We have displayed Stramit profiles for no other reason than they are the manufacturer we decided to use for our information. Each manufacturer also has variations of some designs to suit different situations, so before choosing have a look at the other options available.

Most profiles displayed are supported by most brands, their names will be different and some measurements will also be different, but you can use the following as a general guide. The following profiles are specifically distributed by Stramit for N.S.W, if you want information on profiles for other states, please go to their website here, for information on other manufacturers click here.

Quad guttering

The most popular style due to it's smooth rounded appearance and ease of installation. Quad gutter is the cheapest of all the gutter profiles due to it's popularity and this makes it even more popular, and it has a complete range of extras to help create the look you are after.

This image shows surf mist quad guttering installed on timber fascia with internal brackets. The use of internal brackets gives the guttering a clean smooth, flowing look, and with the strong cast angles used for the corners, you have a very strong and good looking job.

Quad guttering has a large bottom section that allows you to install most types and sizes of downpiping that you need. This installation is shown with a surf mist downpipe that is 100mm x 80mm square.

 

The image to the left has quad guttering that has been installed with external brackets, can you see the difference?

You will have to look closely, but you will be able to see the brackets running around the outside of the guttering. External brackets are coloured and moulded the same as the guttering, and fit snuggly around the outside.

Most older houses have original guttering that has external brackets, and some customers prefer to reinstall the new guttering the same as the old, with the external brackets. And it does give the guttering an older design look.
