Types of Gutters and Materials

Gutters can be made from several different materials including copper, zinc aluminium alloys, Zincalume, Colorbond steel and PVC. Which material is most suited to your roof is best determined by either a roof plumber or a roofing professional (see roofing), as some materials are incompatible with one another.
 
There are several different types of gutters. Some are briefly outlined below:
  • Half round gutters – as there are no square corners, half round gutters do not collect as much debris as other gutter types. They also empty quicker than many other gutters due to a larger water-carrying capacity. Half round gutters suit Spanish, Tuscan and modern homes.

  • Quad gutters – are adaptable and suit colonial and cottage-style homes while also being suitable for new home construction. It comes in two sizes – 115mm and 125mm.

  • Square fronted gutters – are designed to hide the ends of roof sheets and have slots in them to help the water overflow freely in heavy rain without entering the roof space.

  • Smoothline gutters – are similar to half round gutters but they have a flat back and are fixed using internal brackets.

Roof Plumbing

 
All of your guttering should be installed by a fully trained and accredited roof plumber. Having the correct roof plumbing will ensure that water will flow off your roof correctly in even the heaviest of rainfall, or if you have opted for a water tank, that water catchment is maximised. The roof plumber will take the size, pitch and material of your roof into account when designing the appropriate water catchment or stormwater drainage system and also when selecting the guttering material as certain materials may be incompatible with your roof.

How Much Does Guttering Cost?

Guttering services are likely to charge you based on the length of product they install, so will quote on a per metre basis. They will be basing their pricing on an average hourly rate in the region of $60 per hour, though this will vary depending on location and experience. So expect a quote with a total that is comprised of labour and materials.
