Aluminium Rainwater Goods – FAQs

At InterCounty Rainwater, we always aim to keep our wonderful customers informed about all of our aluminium rainwater products. That’s why we’ve put together this useful guide which answers many of the frequently asked questions our team receives about our aluminium rainwater goods.

What kinds of aluminium rainwater goods do you offer?

We offer a wide range of innovative aluminium rainwater products, including:

How long does aluminium guttering last?

Thanks to aluminium’s durable and infinite properties, aluminium gutters usually last around 20-25 years. This not only reduces maintenance levels, but also reduces costs for repairs, damage, etc.

How long do aluminium downpipes last?

Aluminium downpipes normally last around 30 years, as they tend to experience much less wear and tear than gutters.

How long does an installation take?

A standard installation will usually take 1-3 days, depending on the size of the project.

How eco-friendly is aluminium?

Often referred to as ‘the green metal’, aluminium is 100% recyclable and can be recycled infinitely, without causing any damage to the material. In fact, nearly 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today.

Do you ever need to paint aluminium guttering?

Our seamless and sectional aluminium guttering is powder-coated, meaning there is no need to paint our products.

Our revolutionary aluminium rainwater systems guarantee no rust, no rot and thanks to their double powder-coating, our inventive gutters are not only low-maintenance and long-lasting, but they’re also aesthetically pleasing, and can be powder-coated in any colour of your choice – to match the unique characteristics of your home.

How can we guarantee quality?

Not only is our aluminium guttering powder-coated on both sides for maximum durability, it is also made using BBA Approved aluminium coil. BBA is a recognised authority within the construction industry that offers certifications to indicate high quality, experienced and reliable businesses or products. It is known within the industry that gaining a ‘BBA Approved’ status is highly regarded, and used by manufacturers as a symbol of superiority.

Is aluminium guttering better than plastic guttering?

The short answer is, yes! Aluminium is not only more weather-resistant, durable and high-quality, but it is also more aesthetically pleasing, requires much less maintenance and most importantly, it is a lot kinder to the environment.
