ZINC GUTTERS AND CLADDING
Zinc gutters and downspouts offer a completely different aesthetic compared to PVC. To replace or repair these types of gutters, you need a skilled craftsman with extensive knowledge and experience in zinc and copper work.
Zinc cladding provides a unique appearance to your property.
The benefits of zinc cladding include:
- Durability: Zinc is extremely durable and can last up to 100 years without significant degradation, making it an excellent long-term investment.
- Maintenance: Zinc cladding requires minimal maintenance. It develops a patina as it ages, which offers extra protection against the elements.
- Aesthetics: Zinc has a modern and attractive look, ideal for contemporary architecture. Additionally, as it ages, it develops a unique patina that can enhance its appearance.
- Eco-friendly: Zinc is fully recyclable, thus having a low environmental impact.
- Flexibility: Zinc is highly malleable and can be shaped to cover a variety of façade shapes and sizes, giving architects more design freedom.

ZINC GUTTERS AND DOWNPIPES
A zinc gutter gives your home much more character than PVC. This makes it still the most popular choice for gutters and downpipes. But not only for its appearance. Zinc is also widely used due to its positive properties.
Zinc is frost-resistant, durable, long-lasting, and relatively easy to repair if damaged. These qualities also apply to zinc downpipes. However, proper maintenance of your zinc gutters and downpipes is essential. Debris can easily accumulate, leading to issues such as leaks.

COPPER GUTTERS AND DOWNPIPES
Copper gutters are not only aesthetically pleasing but also have a lifespan of up to 80 years! Known for their exclusive look, copper gutters are often paired with thatched roofs since zinc gutters cannot withstand the acid from the thatch carried by rainwater. Copper downpipes add a luxurious touch to your home, and in some cases, such as with a thatched roof, they are the only viable option. PVC downpipes simply don’t provide the desired appearance.
VARIOUS TYPES OF GUTTERS
The shape of your gutter influences the style of your house. For instance, the common box gutter complements a traditional home, while a half-round gutter is less prominent and might better suit your house. Valley gutters cover the intersection of two sloping roofs. Trough gutters were used in the past but are now less common. Concealed gutters, often used for dormer windows, are almost invisible, providing a sleek appearance.
