Choosing the Right Guttering System in New Zealand

Northland receives some of New Zealand’s heaviest rainfall, and having an efficient guttering system is crucial for protecting your home. Poor drainage can lead to leaks, foundation damage, and costly repairs. Whether you’re building new or replacing an aging system, here’s how to choose the right gutters for your home.

Types of Guttering & Their Benefits

  1. COLORSTEEL® SpoutingDurable, corrosion-resistant, and available in multiple colours. Ideal for homes exposed to coastal air.
  2. Aluminium & PVC GuttersRust-proof and lightweight, these options suit properties with minimal maintenance needs.
  3. Box Gutters & Commercial Drainage – High-capacity solutions for industrial and commercial buildings with large roof areas.

Key Factors to Consider

Rainfall Capacity – Northland experiences heavy downpours, so it’s important to choose a profile and size that can handle high volumes of water.
Durability & Corrosion Resistance – Metal gutters may last longer, but PVC options are rust-proof and require less maintenance.
Compatibility with Your Roof – Ensuring the gutter system matches your roofing material, pitch, and design prevents drainage issues.

Do You Need Gutter Guards?

If your home is surrounded by trees, leaf guards can prevent blockages and reduce maintenance, especially in Whangārei’s bush-clad areas.
