Aluminium is lightweight and easy to maintain. As a result, cast aluminium gutters became an obvious alternative to cast iron. Both have their advantages, and both are excellent choices for most buildings as a drainage solution. In most cases, which you choose is likely to be decided by personal preference as much as anything else.
Aluminium guttering is made from high grade aluminium and has a useful life expectancy of around 50 years, assuming you carry out basic maintenance as needed. So once you have your guttering system installed, you can rest easy for decades; on the other hand, if your property was built in the 1970s and you’re lucky enough that it has aluminium gutters, hoppers, and downpipes, you should know that the system will need replacing soon. Happily, we can help with that.
Like cast iron guttering, aluminium gutters last longer than their uPVC equivalents. For this reason, industrial and commercial buildings will often specify that metal guttering systems must be used. The material is also rustproof and highly resistant to corrosion.
