Whilst guttering is not the most exciting subject, when you see water overflowing after heavy rainfall it becomes an issue.

Climate change is making extreme weather a more commonplace event in the UK.  A recent study exploring the effect of greenhouse gases on European winter rainfall patterns suggests we are at greater risk of increased rainfall in winter, spring and autumn, and at a greater risk of extremely high seasonal rainfall events.

Rainwater gutter systems should be able to manage increased levels of water, but, unfortunately, many existing installations might not be a match for the increased flow of rainwater we can expect to get in the future. 

The solution: deep guttering

Did you know that there are different gutters for different situations?

If you’re looking to replace your gutter take a look at a Deep gutter system. With 50 per cent more capacity than round gutter, it can channel rainfall away quickly and is ideal for steep or large roofs where large volumes of water are collected.

Older properties with insufficient outlets

Use Deep gutter where the old existing gutter doesn’t have sufficient outlets to deal with increased levels of rainfall. It’s high flow capacity can be a more cost-effective alternative to digging and laying new drainage.

Thinking of a new extension?

A new extension with an additional roof area will need increased overall gutter capacity. Again, in this scenario, a deep gutter will stop the need for any additional drainage or soakaways.

The benefits of Freefoam Deep gutter

There are a number of deep gutter products available on the market, such as Freefoam’s Freeflow® deep gutter range. So, what should you be looking for in a deep gutter system?

Less leaks and creaks

Freeflow gutter features a white interior.  Gutter will be exposed to sunlight as normal but the white inside reduces heat absorption from the sun and the subsequent expansion along its width and length will be significantly reduced, minimising creaks and leaks.

Colour Co-ordinated

Of course, homeowners will be keen to choose the exterior colour of their gutter to ensure a flawless coordinated finish. The Freeflow® deep gutter blends in with existing round guttering and is available in white, black, brown and anthracite grey for a whole house finish. We also do a cast iron-style version. 

Watertight joints

Our Freeflow® gutter joints and connectors use a flexible compression seal which is both watertight and allows the gutters to move without any noise or creating gaps which cause leaks.
