Stainless Steel Guttering stainless steel guttering offers the ultimate corrosion resistance and is ideal for coastal locations, marine environments, and industrial buildings where standard galvanised steel may not be sufficient. Stainless steel requires no painting and will not rust even in the harshest conditions.

Why Choose Steel Guttering?

Strong and rigid, steel guttering does not flex or sag like PVC, maintaining its shape and alignment over time. Lightweight compared to cast iron, making it easier and faster to install. Corrosion resistant, galvanised steel is coated to resist rust, while stainless steel is naturally corrosion proof. Wide colour range, Lindab Rainline is available in over 10 colours including popular options like black, anthracite grey, and white. Cost effective, steel guttering sits between PVC and aluminium in terms of price, offering excellent value for a metal system. Recyclable, steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.

Steel Guttering FAQ

What is the difference between galvanised and stainless steel guttering? Galvanised steel is coated with a layer of zinc to protect against corrosion and is then powder coated for colour and additional protection. Stainless steel is naturally resistant to corrosion without any coating. Galvanised is more affordable, stainless is more durable in harsh environments.

How long does steel guttering last? Galvanised steel guttering from Lindab carries a 15 year product guarantee but typically lasts 25 to 30 years with basic maintenance. Stainless steel guttering can last 50 years or more.

Is steel guttering suitable for coastal areas? Standard galvanised steel may corrode in severe coastal environments. For properties within 1km of the coast, stainless steel guttering is the recommended choice as it will not corrode from salt exposure.

Can I paint steel guttering? Lindab and Alumasc steel guttering comes factory powder coated in your choice of colour. Repainting is not normally required but can be done with a suitable exterior metal paint if you want to change the colour in future.

Is steel guttering easy to install? Yes. Steel guttering is lighter than cast iron and uses simple bracket and clip fixing methods. Lindab Rainline in particular is designed for fast installation with snap fit joints and pre formed components.
