FloPlast Half Round Gutter External Stopend - 112mm Anthracite Grey

An external stopend is used to close off the open end of a gutter run, preventing water from spilling over the side and protecting the building's walls and foundations.

No, this specific stopend is designed exclusively for 112mm *half-round* gutter profiles. Square guttering requires a different type of stopend.

Basic tools are usually sufficient, such as a measuring tape, sealant gun, and potentially a soft mallet for gentle fitting. Rivets or screws might be used for added security, requiring a drill or screwdriver.

Apply a continuous bead of appropriate gutter sealant around the inside rim of the stopend or the outer edge of the gutter end. Ensure complete coverage for a watertight seal. Refer to the sealant manufacturer's instructions for best results.

FloPlast typically offers a warranty on their uPVC products, often around 10 years. Please refer to the specific product packaging or FloPlast's official website for the most accurate warranty details.

While the anthracite grey finish is designed to be durable, painting is generally not recommended as it may void the warranty and could affect the material's performance. If painting is essential, use a paint specifically formulated for uPVC and test in an inconspicuous area first.

It is recommended to clean your gutters and stopends at least twice a year, typically in late spring and late autumn, to remove debris that can cause blockages and overflow.

Verify that you are using a 112mm half-round gutter. Ensure no debris is obstructing the gutter end or the inside of the stopend. If the gutter is slightly deformed, carefully reshape it before fitting.

Check that sufficient sealant was applied and that it cured properly. If leaking persists, remove the stopend, clean both surfaces thoroughly, reapply sealant, and refit, ensuring even pressure.

This product has a durable finish, but extreme exposure or abrasive cleaning could cause damage. For minor scuffs, check if a color-matched touch-up paint is available. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
