Bespoke made to your design requirements

Heavy Duty Galvanised Gutter

Above 2 photos showing a typical 3 metre length pack of heavy duty galvanised valley gutter

This factory made heavy duty gutter is manufactured in 2 mm thick galvanised steel (14 swg). It is ideal for locations were gutter the is exposed and at risk of damage. Manufactured in multiples of 3 metre lengths to run length and to customers required shape and dimensions. Stopends can be welded in position or loose as can the nozzles (if position is known) Note the pressed socket. The kit comes complete with accessories as per below. See also the weir illustrated in the plastisol gutter below and referred to at the bottom of this page, it is well worth including this also in the above galv gutter. Note. These gutters are really heavy and even more so when full of water, thus gutter brackets need to be strong and really securely fastened. See bottom of page.

Weirs.

With all internal gutters there is the inherent risk of downpipe and other blockages going unnoticed and the consequential flooding causing thousands of pounds in damage to buildings and stock. Whilst not totally eliminating the flooding risk, the inclusion of weirs can go along way to reducing it. Gutter ends containing a weir should protrude well clear of the building and should only be put in the ends where overflowing will instantly be noticed. See illustration in lightweight plastisol below

Gutter Brackets

Gutter brackets are not supplied by SLE Cladding on account of most sites requiring the fabrication of brackets unique to that particular gutter and its location.

A suitable material for brackets is mild steel strip, approx 1 to 2 inches wide x 1/8th inch thick. This can usually be cut, drilled and bent to shape without heat or welding. For long life paint with Galva-froid (cold galvanising paint) and then re-paint to match the building's colour. One bracket per metre run of gutter is generally recommended by manufacturers.

Inserting Nozzles.

To insert a loose nozzle in required position when a specialist hole cutting tool is not available. Turn gutter upside down and holding the circular tube of the nozzle in the required position, draw around it with a felt pen. Drill a hole just inside the drawn circle, large enough to take a jig saw blade. Carefully cut around the circle with a jig saw and if necessary tidy up using a file. Position the nozzle and drill a hole in each of the four corners of the nozzle plate and and through the gutter. Apply silicon or mastic and bolt in position with 6mm roofing bolts. The nozzle plate is usually placed inside the gutter where it is hidden.

Lightweight Plastisol Gutters (Exterior & Interior)

Above a demonstration length of lightweight gutter manufactured from 0.7mm thick merlin grey Plastisol. Note the detachable stopend with weir and the welted (folded) top edges. Joints are usually sealed with clear silicon (black mastic may also be used) and secured with either bulbtite type rivets, tek type seam stitchers or small roofing bolts.

Sections are butted flush together and the siliconed joints secured with an external or internal butt strap as per below. External butt straps will be supplied unless internal butt straps are specified.
