Our Black Half Round Gutter is manufactured by FloPlast, the market leader in the UK.
Black Half Round has traditionally been the most popular choice of PVC gutter systems since it was introduced in the late 1960’s as a replacement for Cast Iron. At that time, many Victorian gutter systems had fallen into disrepair and the PVC manufacturers did an excellent job of selling the benefits of plastic – it is free flowing, lightweight and most importantly, maintenance free.
Black is still seen as the traditional colour for gutters, and it does continue to look particularly effective when fitted to white UPVC Fascia boards.
Our Half Round Gutters also come in white, grey and brown. If you are looking for something a little more original, why not consider our Steel Gutters which are available in a range of colours including black?
Half round gutters feature a smooth, semi-circular profile that offers excellent water flow and a timeless appearance. Other styles, such as Ogee gutters, have a more decorative design and may provide higher capacity for larger roofs.
Yes, half round gutters are suitable for steep roofs. However, due to the increased volume and speed of rainwater runoff from steeper pitches, it’s important to ensure the system has sufficient capacity. If the roof is exceptionally steep or large, you might want to consider upgrading to high-capacity options like Deepflow gutters or Ogee gutters to handle the increased flow effectively.
Regularly remove leaves and debris from the gutters and round downpipes to prevent blockages and maintain optimal performance.
Yes, FloPlast half round gutters are compatible with various systems, including Hepworth and Polypipe, when using the appropriate adaptors.
