Coppa Gutta's copper rainwater systems have been designed so they can be installed by any competent tradesperson with no specialist tools required. The 0.6mm copper used in this range has a life expectancy of at least 100 years and, when left to age naturally, the copper guttering will start to mellow within weeks, changing through various shades of brown and bronze until eventually forming a green/blue patina unique to copper. The time taken for the patina process to start depends on the location of your property, local weather conditions, distance from the sea and other forms of acidic pollution. Our Box style copper gutter is manufactured from 100% natural 0.6mm copper and is supplied in 2.4m lengths, making both transportation and installation uncomplicated. Fitting our Box copper guttering couldn't be easier, with pre-made corners and outlets and simple internal joints that just require sealing and riveting in place. All of our box guttering now comes with a square front lip. If you require a rolled front lip please contact us as this will require a special production run.Copper is 100% recyclable and one of the few metals that is fully sustainable. Copper acts as an algaecide and fungicide, keeping growths such as moss and lichen to a minimum, therefore keeping gutters clear and excellent for water harvesting.Copper also mildly disinfects the water, which is great for putting on plants as it has a balanced pH and is free from chemicals such as chlorine.Dimensions Standard profile measures: 65h x 90w Large profile measures: 90h x 120w
