Important specification

• Corrosion resistance
• Aesthetics
• Formability

Recommendation

Gutters made in steel are very popular in some European countries, thanks to the multiple benefits of coated steel: mechanic properties, corrosion resistance and long lasting colours.

Depending on the desired appearance, different steels can be selected for the production of rain water systems. The steel usually used is very soft (DX54 or DX56) and highly formable to allow the processing of gutters.

For coloured aspects, we recommend a substrate with a zinc layer of 275g/sqm (or equivalent) combined with the Granite^® Rain HDX is event better to ensure a long durability. A life time guarantee is linked to our Granite^® offer. It can be granted automatically or on request, depending the product, building type and area. Please read our Granite^® guarantee conditions.

For metallic finishes, Magnelis^® (with a coating mass of 310g/sqm) is our recommendation for marine environments.
