Stratco has designed an extensive choice of gutter styles, from
the more traditional colonial styles to today’s modern
contemporary designs. Most of Stratco’s gutters have the
revolutionary suspension rib. This enables the gutter if used
with either Clickfast®, or Clickform™ steel fascia, to be fixed
with the Stratco Suspension Clip, the system which has proudly
received an Australian Classic Design Award. When using timber
fascia the suspension rib can be used with timber fix clips.
Stratco Gutters and Downpipes are both fashionable and functional accessories, that enhance the look of your
home and minimise the risk from water damage. Stratco offer a range of quality gutter and downpipe products
and all the advice and tools you need to do a competent job for yourself. Do not underestimate the damage poor
gutters and downpipes cause, take these handy tips and replace them now. For information on installing High
Fronted Gutters please refer to the Stratco ‘High Fronted Gutters Information Guide’ on the Stratco website.
