Concealed guttering offers the modern look many self-builders are after, but it can often be expensive and pose significant challenges for architects and builders alike. This is because the structure traditionally has to be designed and built to accommodate such systems.
Traditional concealed systems often rely on cumbersome designs, which often make the guttering difficult to access from the exterior. If a leak occurs, identifying and resolving the issue can be both complex and costly, as the structure prevents easy inspection.
Enter Litcore’s Niagara Concealed Guttering system, designed for external accessibility, making it possible to inspect, identify, and fix any issues without incurring a hefty repair bill.
Compared to other concealed systems, the cost is reasonable too; a standard three bedroom bungalow with two straight runs of guttering would cost approximately €1,350 euros plus VAT for the materials, including downpipes.
Both the Half-Round and Square Niagara guttering systems are now available with additional flashings, to provide that sought after hidden guttering solution.
The easy-to-install components simplify the process for builders and architects, saving time and effort. The new additional items include guttering fascia, corner covers, soffit panels, brackets (for both wall plate fixing and roof mounting).
All components are designed for compatibility and ease of installation, ensuring a perfect fit for any project. The components also come with a 30-year warranty.
