Quartz Zinc Guttering

125mm Next Working Day Delivery (order before 11:30am)

Zinc is emerging as a favoured material in the construction industry, and in response, we now supply the Quartz Zinc Rainwater System available for next-day delivery.

Zinc develops a protective 'patina' over time, a thin layer that shields the material from weather elements like sun, wind, and water, yet the change remains almost unnoticeable. This patina renders zinc immune to the detrimental effects of UV rays.

Natural zinc is another popular choice, or even steel guttering which is used on more contemporary properties.

Key Features of the Quartz Zinc Rainwater System:

1. Sustainability: As an eco-friendly product, the Quartz Zinc Rainwater System meets the increasing demand for green building materials. Zinc is abundantly available and boasts a 100% recyclability rate at the end of its lifespan, making it a top choice for eco-conscious consumers.

2. Aesthetics: Opting for Zinc as a rainwater solution is a stylish decision for those seeking a unique, eye-catching finish. The 'quartz' zinc we stock mimics the look of pre-weathered zinc, offering a similar aesthetic to lead without the toxic runoff, thus preventing staining on adjacent materials. It's an excellent choice for water harvesting systems, ensuring clean and pure water.

3. Durability: With an impressive lifespan of nearly a century, the Quartz Zinc Rainwater System is unaffected by water, temperature fluctuations, and UV rays, ensuring long-term durability.

4. Corrosion Resistance: Zinc's high resistance to corrosion is a standout benefit, especially for properties in exposed locations or near the coast. Zinc can last up to 50 years even in harsh environments, thanks to its robust, corrosion-resistant properties.

5. Low Maintenance: This system requires minimal upkeep, with no need for painting or cleaning, other than the occasional removal of debris from the gutters. This low-maintenance aspect makes it suitable for a wide range of buildings, including commercial, civic, and residential structures.

6. Ease of Installation: The Quartz Zinc Rainwater System is lightweight and straightforward to install. The stop-ends simply adhere with glue, and gutter lengths can be connected using EPMD lined Union-connectors, eliminating the need for welding, soldering, or silicone. The wrap-around gutter outlets provide flexibility in downpipe positioning, and the swaged-necked downpipes and fittings effortlessly slot together.
