Each product demonstrates exceptional quality, durability, easy assembly and a commitment to environmental sustainability. However, if you’d like to explore alternative metal rainwater systems, see our impressive aluminium and cast iron options.
Lindab's steel products, in particular, have a low carbon footprint compared to other rainwater systems. They are manufactured from up to 30% recycled material and are completely recyclable after use. This attribute makes them ideal for adhering to environmental standards or showcasing forward-thinking sustainability.
Create a rainwater system of guttering, downpipes and accessories, each with an impressive 10-year warranty.
Customise the final look to suit your preferences or meet the project’s requirements. The most popular option is often galvanised steel. The Lindab Magestic galvanised guttering is strengthened with a magnesium zinc alloy coating for protection against corrosion and has impressive self-healing properties.
Other options include sleek matte, natural copper or painted in Silver Metallic, Anthracite Metallic, Anthracite Grey, Black, Antique White, Dark Grey, Brown, Tile Red, Dark Red or Coffee Brown.
Steel guttering is a popular choice for many properties. Here are some key benefits:
Durable: Steel guttering is strong and has a superior capacity to handle substantial water volumes and high impact. As a result, it can withstand extreme elements without warping or cracking.
Easy to Handle: Steel is much easier to manoeuvre and install than other metal guttering, such as cast iron.
Aesthetics: Steel has a sleek metallic appearance, and you can also try painted steel guttering to match your roofline and boost curb appeal.
Sustainability: At the end of its lifespan, it is fully recyclable, making it an eco-friendly investment.
Both options are durable, easy to install, have a similar lifespan, and can be ordered in different colours to complement your roofline.
Plastic is budget-friendly, lightweight, and rust-resistant. It is also available in various profiles to match different architectural styles. Steel guttering is generally stronger, doesn’t warp or crack, and boasts a sleek metallic finish. However, steel costs more upfront and can rust over time (although the galvanisation process slows corrosion).
Ultimately, the best choice depends on your needs. Plastic is more affordable and versatile, while steel is robust and has a quality aesthetic.
Galvanised steel guttering has a protective zinc coating, so preparation is essential before painting. Brush off any old paint or rust, then wash the surface with hot water and mild detergent to remove grime. Once clean, pull on gloves and use a lint-free cloth to wipe down the gutters with turpentine, ammonia, or naphtha to eliminate any remaining oils.
Once the surface is clean and dry, you can apply a metal primer and finish with high-quality exterior latex paint.
*We would advise contacting the manufacturer before painting any rainwater system as this may invalidate the warranty of the product.
