Is box gutter the same as a parapet gutter? No. A parapet gutter is concealed within the roof structure. Copper box gutter is an external gutter fixed to the fascia, with a square profile instead of the traditional half round shape.

Which downpipe suits box guttering? Either round or square. Square downpipe gives a fully angular system for a consistent contemporary look.

Is professional installation needed? Yes recommended. Copper joints are best soldered for a durable watertight connection.
