This 180mm x 125mm top strap in agate grey has been manufactured from aluminium, and is part of the GX range of aluminium guttering from Alumasc. Alumasc are considered the UK market leaders in the manufacturing of guttering and rainwater systems, and use innovative technologies and new manufacturing techniques to create a range of products that not only comply with industry standards, but also surpass expectation in terms of quality, performance and design. This agate grey top strap has been designed specifically for use with GX Joggle guttering. The top strap sits across the width of a Joggle gutter run, and adds extra support, strength and stability to the gutter. This helps improve the lifespan of the gutter system and allow it to withstand larger volumes of rainwater when needed. The GX Joggle range of aluminium guttering comprises vertical sides, sharp angled bends, and a returned lip, and has been designed for use in areas of high rainfall as it copes with large volumes of water with no issues. Why choose Alumasc GX guttering? Performance The Alumasc GX gutter range has been designed specifically as a high capacity gutter that can be used on both traditional and modern buildings. The Alumasc GX range is available in three different profiles, but each profile has been designed in a way that delivers maximum capacity and flow rate. The GX Alumasc range of guttering is designed to fully accommodate thermal movement at every joint, and is lightweight, durable and highly corrosion resistant. Installation The GX aluminium guttering range has been designed for traditional wet jointing on site. This involves the simple and well proven method of screw fixing with bracketry, which is generally concealed after installation to create a sleek and uniform finish. The GX Joggle range is supported by top straps, whilst the GX Smooth range has been designed to not require any visible screw fixing or support brackets to create a smooth finish, whilst the GX Moulded range is wet jointed, fixed directly to the building fabric. Environmentally friendly The GX guttering range is a compact and efficient rainwater system that is manufactured from 100% recyclable aluminium in the UK. Additionally, the GX guttering system has a life expectancy of 40 years or more in rural or suburban areas, and up to 25 years in industrial and marine environments. This means that not only are less gutter profiles required over time due to their long lasting design, when they are finally replaced they can be recycled.
