Made from high-quality, durable materials, it provides reliable support for your guttering installation. This bracket is ideal for both residential and commercial properties, ensuring a secure and long-lasting gutter system that effectively manages rainwater. Fascia brackets, also known as gutter brackets or gutter clips, are the main supports for the gutter system. The bracket is screwed to the fascia board using two countersunk screws (we recommend 5 x 25mm or 5 x 30mm). The gutter is then clipped in place by first sliding the back edge in under the rear clip and pulling gently down on the front edge to clip the gutter into position. Square gutter fascia brackets should be spaced at 1m centres, although if you live in an area that is prone to heavy snowfall we suggest reducing the centres to 800mm.
