The Benefits of Choosing Copper Guttering
Why copper? Because it’s one of the most durable, sustainable, and low-maintenance guttering materials available.
- Lightweight yet incredibly strong — easy to handle and built to last
- 100% recyclable and naturally sustainable ; just like steel guttering.
- Develops a green protective patina over time, shielding it from corrosion
- Lasts over 100 years, making it a one-time investment
- Naturally filters rainwater, ideal for irrigation and rainwater harvesting
- Adds instant kerb appeal with its warm, elegant tone
Installing Your Copper Guttering
Installing copper guttering doesn’t have to be complicated. The Zambelli system is cleverly designed for straightforward, dry-jointed installation.
- Fit gutter brackets every 915 mm (three per length).
- Connect gutter sections with rubber-lined unions.
- Add extra brackets near outlets and angles.
- Seal ends with EPDM-lined push-fit stop-ends.
- Check alignment for a smooth fall and efficient flow.
That’s it — no soldering, no fuss. You’ll have a professional-grade finish with a watertight, reliable system.
Low Maintenance, Lifetime Value
Once installed, your copper guttering practically takes care of itself. The natural patina that develops over time protects the surface from corrosion, meaning you’ll never need to paint or seal it.
A quick seasonal clean to remove leaves or debris is all that’s needed to keep it in top condition. Even in the UK’s unpredictable weather — from coastal salt air to heavy downpours — copper stays strong, resilient, and elegant.
Built for the British Climate
Zambelli’s high-capacity deep-flow profile is engineered to handle heavy rain and rapidly changing conditions.
The internal seam technology reduces turbulence inside the pipe, ensuring smooth drainage even during storms.
That makes copper guttering ideal for:
- Coastal regions like Bournemouth where corrosion resistance is essential
- Rural homes exposed to debris and falling leaves
- Urban areas that experience high rainfall and runoff
Wherever your property is located, this system performs flawlessly all year round.
Sustainability & Longevity
When you choose copper, you’re investing in sustainability. Copper is fully recyclable, requiring no coatings or chemical treatments. Its long life span — over a century — means less waste and fewer replacements.
Better still, it improves the quality of collected rainwater. The metal acts as a natural algaecide and fungicide, keeping stored water fresh and safe for garden use.
