Roof Gutters That Shape Your Home’s Design

Many people are unaware that there are actually different types of roof gutters that can contribute to the design of your home. Gutters come in many different shapes, sizes, and colours, each playing a role in your practical and design needs. This guide will take you through Mack Bros various roof gutters to help you understand what’s available, and more importantly, what you want.

Quad Gutter

Quad Gutters get their name from the ‘box’ shape they resemble. It is a popular profile, suiting both contemporary and classic home styles. They are available in a range of sizes: 115mm, 125mm, 140mm, 175mm, and 200mm. The quad gutter is super-efficient in rainwater carrying capacity and dispersal to protect your property from water damage for years to come. Due to the strength and depth the high profile provides, maintenance is simple.

This design derives from a European inspired shape, giving it a sleeker, less obtrusive look than the quad gutter. The rounded shape stops build up of unwanted residue and essentially becomes self-cleaning. Perfect for modern, minimalist homes looking for a subtle design edge that won’t cause future repair problems.

Flat-Back Gutter

Similar in design to the half-round gutter, the flat-back incorporates the look and feel of the half-round, but simplifies the installation process. Can be clipped onto existing fascia board or with internal brackets. Available in 135mm and 180mm.

O.G Gutter

Perfect for period homes, this traditional design meets functionality. There are numerous classical gutter designs that are simply more trouble than they are worth due to difficult installation and upkeep. The O.G gutter, however, can have both internal and external brackets depending on the size chosen (4 available). It has large water carrying potential and is simple to clean and maintain.

Fascia Gutter

While fascia guttering is noticeably similar to the box gutter, it contains some sleeker lines within its design that many homeowners prefer. Often seen on traditional homes, new homeowners are increasingly incorporating fascia guttering for a textural point of difference. Fascia gutter can be used on all roofing profiles, and with its excellent durability, is a popular choice for many Australian homes and businesses.

While gutters aren’t always top of mind when it comes to design, they can add to the desired style of your home while protecting the rest of the property from damage.
