Benefits of Replacement uPVC Guttering and Downpipes

Posted by John on December 9th, 2018

Having properly installed and maintained gutters in the home is crucial. An efficient gutter system ensures that rainwater does not wreak havoc to your property. The gutters collect rainwater as it runs off the roof and direct it to a downspout which carries the water down and away from the house.

If you’re looking to install a new gutter system or replace old gutters, uPVC guttering and downpipes will help ensure the integrity of your home. Below, we discuss some of the benefits of uPVC guttering and downpipes.

1. Ease of Maintenance – uPVC guttering systems are increasingly becoming a popular choice among homeowners due to their low maintenance requirements. You only need to clean out the gutters and downpipes a couple of times a year to remove debris.

Additionally, upvc guttering systems have a finish that doesn’t discolour, crack, fade or flake, eliminating the need for painting.

2. Long Lasting – compared to metal alternatives, uPVC guttering systems are extremely durable and long lasting. They are resilient, corrosion resistant and have high resistance to impact. Even without regular maintenance, the system can maintain functionality for more than 20 years.

Another factor that makes uPVC gutter systems last long is their vortex design. This design pulls waste materials stuck in the gutters down to the outlet, increasing flow rate and reducing blockages.

3. Visual Attractiveness – another benefit of installing a uPVC gutter system is its visual appeal. The vortex system and the improved flow rate means your property will need fewer gutters and downpipes to achieve efficient water clearance. This not only saves resources but also helps to maintain your home's exterior.

uPVC gutters and downpipes have a smooth finish that comes in a variety of colours. With a wide choice of colours, you can choose one that matches the style of your property and complements your doors and windows.

4. Eco-Friendly – uPVC drainage solutions are made from non-toxic materials, are 100 recyclable and can be recycled up to 10 times without significant loss of structural integrity. Additionally, the need for fewer gutters and downpipes per house not only helps to conserve energy and resources but also reduce waste in the long term.
