Box Gutters Tailored to Your Project
When a conservatory roof slopes backwards towards the existing building a box gutter is required and we provide a range of options that are pre-manufactured and fast to fit.
Reinforced Box Gutter
The reinforced box gutter allows for a spanning capability of up to six meters, which negates the need for gallows brackets, which are often unpopular with homeowners.

- Must be supported either end by hup!, brick wall, or aluminium post
- Reduces / eliminates the need for gallows brackets on bungalows

CHAMBERED BOX GUTTER

- Blanking plate end cap is also available to close off the chambered end
Support Specification
It is vital when box gutters are specified that - even at sales stage - the issue of providing adequate support is considered. Attachment to timber fascias alone is NOT sufficient and brick piers, gallows brackets, and other hangers must be considered.
Box Gutters MUST be supported at no more than 2.25m centres. All of Ultraframe’s box gutters are insulated to minimise condensation risk. Where box gutters are jointed, they are sleeved and bolted.
Injection moulded adapters are used to ensure seamless and watertight jointing between the Classic uPVC gutter and the aluminium box gutter. Each adapter comes complete with its own dry jointing gasket and measured ‘shot’ of Gutterbond proprietary sealant to ensure rapid completion even in the inclement weather typically found in the U.K.
