Guttering System Installation in Port Stephens

Quad is a traditional high-front quadrant gutter used on colonial-style houses and is very popular in new home construction. It is a slotted gutter with overflow holes and a 115mm diameter. This is possibly the most common gutter profile in Australia. It represents an excellent balance of value, compatibility with different roof and fascia designs and the ability to handle heavy rainfall and debris without suffering damage or clogging.

The low-front style quad has a lower front than the modern quad and no overflow holes. High Front Quad is generally chosen for new installations, but many properties have Low Front Quad installed, and it is available in a range of colours to match for repairs to ensure that the gutter profiles of your entire property match.

Nu-Line gutter combines the gutter and fascia all in one. This gutter is designed for direct installation to roof rafters without the use of timber fascia. As this is a large gutter and not as straightforward to install as the others, Straightline Plumbing & Guttering is proud to be the preferred installer for this type of guttering.

The mini-line gutter is a smaller version of the Nu-Line Gutter. It has a similar front profile with a flat back to fit flush to the fascia using concealed or external brackets. Mini-line rainwater capacity is approximately 20% more than 115mm Quad Gutter, and with overflows designed in the front, Mini-Line is ideal for heavy rainfall areas.

Fascia Gutter is a square front gutter that is slotted and is able to be folded around corners, eliminating any need to use external gutter brackets during installation, resulting in a very clean, uninterrupted appearance. This particular gutter profile is ideal for garages and carports with overflow holes designed in the front.

Half Round is a European-style gutter with a semicircular design that is supported by external brackets. With a diameter of 150mm, it has a greater water capacity and flow rate than conventional gutters. 

The half-round flatback gutter is a cylindrically designed gutter with a flat back and no external brackets. Similar to Half Round Gutter, Half Round Flatback gutter is a European-designed profile of 150 mm diameter, will flush itself clear of debris, and is able to block other gutter profiles under most circumstances.

The Fascia Cover is designed to go over your existing fascia boards. The advantage of this is that it can cover faded and rotting fascia and eliminate the need to maintain and paint your fascia boards. A Barge Soaker is used as a clever and attractive way to flash and weatherproof gables.

There are various types of gutter guards on the market with varying degrees of success. Some sit on the top of the guttering, while others are a mesh and are fixed to the roof and sit over the guttering, allowing water to go into the guttering and debris to pass directly over them. A gutter guard is also a great way to safeguard your home against flying embers from bushfires because the leaf debris does not gather and sit in your guttering. Leafscreener mesh is available in a variety of colours to match your roof. Straightline Plumbing & Guttering can advise on the appropriate gutter guard for your property.
