When it comes to completing a roofing project, gutters play an important role in both water management and the overall appearance of your home. The right gutter can complement your roofline, suit the architectural style of your property and help direct rainwater safely away from your home.
At Stratco, we offer a comprehensive range of gutter profiles designed for different applications, from traditional homes and heritage-style properties through to contemporary houses, patios, verandahs and commercial buildings.
With a wide selection of profiles, sizes and colours available, there is a Stratco gutter solution to suit almost any project.
Why Are Gutters Important?
Gutters do much more than provide a finished edge to your roof. They form an important part of your home's rainwater management system by collecting water from the roof and directing it towards downpipes and drainage points.
A properly designed gutter system can help manage rainfall and reduce the risk of water overflowing around your roofline. Stratco gutters are available in a range of profiles and capacities, with some profiles also available with pre-punched slots to help manage overflow.
But gutters aren't purely functional. Because they sit along the edge of your roof, the profile you choose can also have a noticeable impact on the appearance of your home.
So, which Stratco gutter is right for your project?

Choosing The Right Gutter For Your Home
With so many profiles available, choosing a gutter isn't simply about picking the style you like best. The appropriate gutter profile and size will depend on factors including your roof area, roof design, rainfall, fascia type, roof pitch and the way water will be discharged from the gutter system.
Some Stratco gutter profiles are available with slots to assist with overflow, while gutter capacities are calculated in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards. Product availability, profiles and sizes can also vary between states.
If you're unsure which gutter is best suited to your project, it's important to seek advice based on your individual roof and site requirements.
