Refresh the look of your home and add years to its lifespan with new guttering.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of New Zealand receives 600 to 1600mm of rainfall per year, so in order to protect your property, you need sturdy, reliable rainwater management. In this article, we look at the various options of guttering and downpipes available in New Zealand. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><b>What do Downpipes, Gutters and Spouting do?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The guttering, also often called spouting, collects the rainwater which runs off your roof. They are slightly angled so that the water can flow to the downpipes, which take this water into your ground drainage pipes or water collection tanks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The downpipes are sized to suit the roof area as well as the roof pitch so that they are able to handle both the volume of rainwater and the speed<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because high rainfall areas, large houses or steep roofs may require larger spouting and\/or more downpipes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How Often Should Gutters Be Replaced?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phil Hunter from <a href=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/tradies\/1qa1nijg\/rimu-roofing-ltd\">Rimu Roofing<\/a> in Auckland suggests \u201cGutters should be replaced when they can no longer be maintained &#8211; actual lifespan will vary. If there are trees on your property your gutters will require more frequent cleaning and may have a shorter lifespan. Your gutters will be functional for much longer if they are regularly cleaned and have preventative action such as gutter guards and an occasional moss and mould treatment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6145\" src=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_725993623_Revised-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b>What types of guttering or spouting are available?<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Styles of guttering:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">K-Style Guttering \u2013 A flat bottom and back, with a decorative front which looks similar to crown moulding. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A durable style common on New Zealand homes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Half Round Guttering \u2013 A traditional, elegant style, its smoother shape is less prone to corrosion and clogging.

If you are close to the shore, or in an area of high wind and\/or intense rainfall, it may affect your options on size and material.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metal fares better on homes in <\/span><b>extreme weather<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as strong sun and snow, as it is more resilient than plastic to temperature changes and environmental factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>In New Zealand, spouting and downpipes come in 4 main materials:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>PVC<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 A cheaper option, PVC is low maintenance, impact resistant, UV safe, won\u2019t rust or corrode and safe for water collection. However, PVC can become brittle over time, meaning it will more easily crack, and may need replacing sooner than other options. Best suited to moderate climates with light rainfall.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Coated Steel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Steel is the strongest option for areas of heavy rainfall. Though prone to rust, galvanised and zinc alloy steel will keep its shine, and painted steel comes in a variety of colours to suit your home. Steel is recyclable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Copper<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013Most commonly seen on period homes, copper resists rust and is very sturdy in extreme weather conditions. It is recyclable and also prevents bacterial growth, making it suitable for rainwater collection systems. Due to the rising price of copper, it is the most expensive option and can be a target for thieves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Pre-Painted Aluminium<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 More durable than steel, and more expensive, aluminium is a weatherproof option. Like steel, it comes in an array of colours to complement your home.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jason from <a href=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/tradies\/1qbnek7w\/white-roofing-ltd\">White Roofing<\/a> says, \u201cWith colour steel, the only issue is that they do rust over time.
