Gutters, downpipes and general rainwater products are very important assets on any home as a large volume of water falls on all roof areas. There are a wide range of profile and colours available to suite anyone’s creative requirements. Listed below are the most commonly used in both the residential and commercial industries.

Square-line gutter is a square front gutter that is slotted and needs to be folded around corners, eliminating the use of external angles and fixed with concealed brackets. Ideal for garages and carports hiding the end or roof sheets, and provides a stylish accessory to any home or building

Quad gutter is a very adaptable style of guttering. It blends perfectly with older style colonial and cottage style homes. It can also be used extensively in new home construction.

OG Gutter is an attractive gutter which is often seen on Victorian, federation and older style buildings.

Ace guttering profiles

Nu-Line is a gutter and fascia in one. It is a gutter designed for direct installation to roof rafters, without the use of timber fascia. Also known as fascia gutter or eaves gutter.

Mini-Line is a smaller version of Ace Nu-Line Gutter, it has a similar front profile with a flat back to fit flush to the fascia using concealed or external brackets. Ace Mini-line rainwater capacity is approximately 20% more than 115mm Quad Gutter and with overflows designed in the front of Mini-Line makes it ideal for heavy rainfall areas.

Half Round is a European style gutter with a semicircular design that is supported by external brackets. With a 150mm diameter it has a greater water capacity and the speed of the water travel is greater than a conventional gutter allowing to clear debris and silt. The great advantage of having this cylindrical design is that it has a self cleaning feature.

Half Round Gutter is particularly suitable for Spanish, Tuscan, and modern style homes. However, it has also been fitted to many industrial and office type buildings because of its clean, smooth shape and practicability

Roundline is a cylindrical designed gutter with a flat back and no external brackets. It is a European style gutter with a 150mm diameter and self cleaning feature.

Down pipes

There are a wide range of downpipes for a variety of applications. Square, rectangular and round downpipes are available to suit any style of home, building or factory. Sizes available range to suit any requirements from small drainage up to large factory applications.

Rain heads

Rain heads are an essential design element for buildings where internal box or trough gutters are used. A rainhead or sump is a container located between the gutter and downpipe that aids the flow of water away from the roof. It acts as an external overflow point to minimise water surges into the stormwater system and aid the flow of water down the downpipe. The outside positioning of rainheads means that they minimise the risk of water overflow inside a building. Furthermore, the addition of an overflow provision provides even greater protection against water overflow in extreme conditions.
