Why Choose SNAP-IT Aluminium?

Extruded aluminium gutters are also extremely flexible and easy to install, and most individuals with some DIY experience will be able to fit the system. Each of the gutter components ‘snap’ together easily with no screws or bolts, in the end giving a smooth-looking finish to suit the property. There are a variety of profile types and finishes available through Trade Warehouse, including half round, vintage moulded ogee and contemporary joggle box sections.

Extruded Aluminium Guttering FAQs
Extruded aluminium guttering is a type of guttering system made from aluminium that is created by forcing the metal through a shaped opening in a die. This process creates a continuous length of guttering that is seamless, strong and durable.
Extruded aluminium guttering has several advantages over other types of guttering systems. It is lightweight, easy to install, and requires minimal maintenance. Additionally, it is resistant to rust and corrosion, which means it will last for many years without deteriorating.
While it is possible, it is recommended to hire a professional guttering installer to ensure the job is done correctly. Improper installation can lead to leaks and other issues that can cause damage to your home.
The system requires minimal maintenance, but it is important to clean it regularly to prevent build up of debris. Simply use a ladder and a hose to flush out any unwanted bits and ensure that the system is functioning properly. Additionally, it is important to check for any damage or cracks and repair them promptly to prevent further damage.
