The zinc patina visibly changes colour beautifully with age.
Zinc gutter, zinc pipes and zinc fittings have a life expectancy in excess of 50 years.
Zinc guttering provides an excellent solution for roof rainwater drainage. Zinc is a corrosion-resistant metal which is much more durable against harsh weather conditions.
Although our zinc gutters and pipes are supplied with a 15-year guarantee, zinc is a durable material which should have a life expectancy in excess of 50 years.
Zinc is light, non-flammable and 100% recyclable.
While zinc is very common and mined globally it is considered one of the most sustainable metals used in construction because its low melting point requires less energy to convert it into recyclable material. This is just one of the reasons zinc has gained popularity over other types of metals and materials.
Like copper, zinc develops a patina over time that protects the outer layer, increasing the gutter's lifespan. As the patina accrues, it also hides imperfections such as scratches, so there’s very little maintenance necessary to keep it looking nice.
