It provides an excellent high-capacity drainage solution that mimics the elegance of cast iron, though users should note that while it is durable and lightweight, it requires precise measurement and cutting for a professional finish on specific rooflines.

FAQs

Can I use this with my existing downpipes?

Yes, this system is compatible with 68mm round or 65mm square downpipes.

Does this gutter require painting?

No, the PVC is factory-finished and designed to maintain its color for years without the need for painting.

How long are the sections?

Each section is 4 meters in length.

Can I install this on a DIY basis?

Yes, the lightweight design and simple jointing system make it accessible for DIY enthusiasts, provided you are comfortable working at height.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a fine-toothed saw, a tape measure, a drill, and a screwdriver to secure the brackets.

Is the material prone to cracking in cold weather?

No, it is specifically manufactured to withstand typical weather fluctuations, though care should be taken to allow for expansion gaps during installation.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the joints

Ensure the gutter end is properly seated past the pre-lubricated seal and check that the seal has not been displaced during installation.

Gutter sagging between brackets

Check that the bracket spacing does not exceed 600mm and ensure all fixing bolts are tightened to the fascia board.

Discoloration over time

While covered by a 10-year guarantee, minor surface staining can often be removed using a non-abrasive PVC cream cleaner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly lighter than traditional cast iron for easier handling
  • Pre-lubricated seals simplify the jointing process
  • Corrosion-resistant material requires minimal ongoing maintenance
  • Compatible with both 68mm round and 65mm square downpipes
  • Includes essential black fixing bolts for a cohesive aesthetic

Cons

  • Requires careful cutting and deburring during installation
  • Not compatible with heavy-duty metal mounting brackets
  • PVC can become brittle if exposed to extreme, prolonged heat or direct chemical solvents

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Planning: Measure the length of your fascia boards and calculate the required gradient (a fall of 1:350 is generally recommended).
  2. Installation: Mount your brackets at 600mm intervals to ensure proper support. Cut the gutter to size using a fine-toothed saw and ensure the edges are smooth.
  3. Compatibility: This system integrates seamlessly with standard 68mm round or 65mm square downpipes using compatible FloPlast fittings.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically clear debris, such as leaves or moss, from the gutter channel. Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to clean the exterior; avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads that might scratch the surface.
