Rainclear galvanised guttering

Has anyone had any experience with Rainclear guttering? I initially wanted Lindab but it seems that lead times are weeks and also Rain Clear stuff looks almost identical but cheaper. In fact around the same price as plastic!

It's Zambelli by the looks of it (logo is on the hopper), and yes, I installed it.  I got it from Drain Depot, who were cheapest at the time, so if you've got a shopping list I'd punt it out to both and see if you can squeeze a bit more cost out!  I'm impressed with the system; easy to cut to size and put together, looks and feels robust, and often admired by visitors.

 

Took a pic earlier in the year when the sun was throwing interesting shadows on the cladding; 20200505_193810.thumb.jpg.1c3d57dcbd7aed0350b0142e5de82014.jpgit had been up 3 and a half years at that point.

Thanks!  Wrap-around; easy enough to fit with a hacksaw and a pair of tin snips, (and it doesn't matter if the hole you cut in the gutter is a bit rough, 'cos the outlet covers it ?). I put the gutter in position first, then dropped a plumb line down to the where the underground drainage came up; mark and fit!  If you Google 'youtube zambelli' you should find some 'how to' stuff.

How on earth do I work out what size guttering i need?! There is 3 different sizes 115mm 125mm 150mm 

 

Our roof size is around 380sqm dormer bungalow. Around 450sqm floor space inside.


There is a BS calculation to the flow rate from a roof. You then use that to work out the litres/second and then the number of down pipes. 
 

Unless it’s a small building, 125mm deep flow or  150mm If you don’t have many downpipes

 

Decent guide here
