Interviews with a homeowner and an installer explaining why they choose to install Galv steel, and a brief video showing just how simple it is to install.

Nov23 mid month blog Pic001

Of course we are going to say that it makes sense to replace your plastic gutters with Infinity Galvanised steel or colour coated versions when you discover you need to. When the joints have worked loose, and the leaks begin to appear and threaten to cause water damage inside the house and to the foundations of your home. When they inevitably become faded and begin to look a bit shoddy (if they are not white).

And we’re going to tell you they are just as easy to install.

But we don’t expect you to just take our word for it. We recorded an interview with a homeowner to find out why THEY chose Infinity Galvanised steel guttering over the plastic default, AND an installer why he chooses to install Galvanised steel guttering over the plastic default, AND we created a brief video on that job to demonstrate beyond doubt (we hope) that it is, in fact, true.

“…the plastic quote we had and the metal Infinity Gathering quote wasn’t a million miles apart (but) it should last a lot longer. It won’t fade. It won’t crack. It won’t leak. So yeah, in terms of ongoing lifetime cost, I feel as though that was a good choice for us as, you know, it’s a young family here, we’re going to be staying here for quite a while. So it was something that we wanted to sort of do right but in an affordable way…”

Infinity Guttering Installer Interview

“…We’ve never been big installers of plastic. I would say over the last three or four  years our steel has increased by possibly 60 and plastic is obviously dropping out. Plastic prices are going up quicker than steel, so it’s almost more cost  effective now to have steel over plastic.
With plastic you can expect  to return after five years, with steel, it’s hard to say, but you’re looking at at least 10 years. Double the life.
The installation process for plastic and steel is very similar, So it takes roughly about the same time, So if you can install plastic then  you can install steel.…”
