Gutter Warehouse UK talks through some of the top benefits of using Lindab gutters and downpipes on your residential or commercial building. For centuries, plastic has been the rainwater system of choice, but now, times have changed. As the world shifts to a focus on eco friendliness, architects and developers are continually needing to adapt the products they use to meet environmental standards. With the growing use of solar panels in countries like Australia, there is now a growing need to purchase eco-friendly accessories like Lindab gutters and downpipes.
⦁ Eco friendly
Lindab guttering is one of the most eco friendly rainwater products on the market. With CO2 levels almost 30% higher than pre-industrial times, there has never been a more important time to focus on taking a ‘green’ approach. The Lindab steel is manufactured from up to 30% recycled material and is itself recyclable! Steel also has the lowest carbon footprint when compared with any other material (e.g. zinc).
Using non-biodegradable materials such as plastics only causes harm to the environment, so it’s important to opt for a greener rainwater solution.
⦁ Coated steel colours are UV stable
The Lindab guttering system is created using a galvanised steel sheeting which is completely self-healing and available in a multitude of colours including black, green, red and dark silver. Each of these colours look fantastic in the sunshine. All of the Lindab rainwater goods are protected by a 15 year warranty, according to, so you can have peace of mind that your gutter won’t be looking rusty after a few years!
⦁ Strong material
The Lindab guttering system is strong and is the material of choice in countries which have harsh climates such as parts of Scandinavia. In the UK, the weather can get very wet and windy, so it’s important to use a guttering system which is durable, and one which will not corrode when exposed to wet environments. Cities like Exeter and Cornwall are close to the Sea and exposed to harsh environments, which can cause metallic erosion, resulting in an unhealthy looking guttering system! The galvanised range is reinforced with coated steel, with an added layer of protection to resist the mightiest of storms!
⦁ A cost friendly rainwater solution
GutterWarehouse UK always strives to be competitive on price, which is why they match their competitors. Lindab guttering is lighter, cheaper and easier to install than other materials like zinc or aluminium. It’s understandable that building your new home can be a daunting experience, so it’s always relieving to come across a guttering system which offers value for money and is super quick to install.
⦁ Rainline has a longer lifespan
Lindab steel is rustproofed by a 275g zinc coating, which ensures long life. The galvanised finish is also naturally self-healing and any scratch is automatically sealed by zinc ions which move to cover the steel. This system is much more efficient than plastic or zinc guttering, which are prone to cracking and corrosion.
So that’s it! The top benefits of using Lindab guttering with Gutter Warehouse UK. We hope that you found this blog useful and will consider using it as the rainwater system of choice in the future! Stay green and stay safe!
