The demand for steel guttering has never been higher with homeowners and selfbuilders looking for this stylish, premium quality rainwater solution at a price tag that is closer to premium uPVC than heritage Cast Iron or Aluminium.  For example, the complete rainwater system on an average 3 bed detached home could be supplied for around £300 +VAT.*

The lightweight and innovative easy dry joint design of the Zambelli Steel rainwater system also make it easy to handle and fit.

The steel system is made of highly durable, recyclable metal in either galvanised or colour coated making it a great eco choice too.

Geraint Jones, Managing Director of Rainclear Systems, explains why:

“These Galvanised Steel products are a very competitive alternative to uPVC ones, but the steel system looks and last better while offering clever design features which make it easy to fit; push-on stop-ends and rubber lined unions mean there’s no need to use silicone; the fully adjustable outlets can be placed anywhere within a 3m gutter length or you can purchase ready-made outlets if you find that easier.”

Geraint Jones adds

“We were seeing increased demand for guttering systems that match in with other features on buildings such as fascia, soffit and windows. The Anthracite Grey, for example, is very popular.

Our half round galvanised steel gutters are deeper than other comparable systems on the market giving them a 20% larger capacity, which you’ll notice when the British weather does its worst.”
