Application Example – Aluminium Box Gutter System

Commercial Office Development

Project Overview

A new-build three-storey commercial office development required a high-capacity rainwater management solution to serve a large roof catchment area while maintaining a clean architectural roof edge detail.

A durable, low-maintenance system was required to integrate with the building façade and provide long-term performance in exposed external conditions.

Project Requirements

• • Efficient drainage of extensive roof areas
  • Increased flow capacity during peak rainfall events
  • Corrosion-resistant material suitable for external exposure
  • Architectural profile to complement modern façade design
  • Compatibility with aluminium rainwater downpipe systems
  • Minimal ongoing maintenance

The Solution

The Stormguard Aluminium Box Gutter system was selected due to its high-capacity rectangular profile and robust aluminium construction.

Manufactured from aluminium and available with polyester powder coated finish (where specified), the system provides:

• • Lightweight yet durable performance
  • Corrosion resistance for exposed environments
  • Clean, contemporary roof edge detailing
  • Integration with aluminium rainwater pipe systems
  • Fabricated or sectional configurations to suit project layout

The box profile was chosen to optimise hydraulic performance while maintaining a sharp architectural line consistent with the overall building design intent.

Installation

Installation was undertaken in accordance with manufacturer guidance, ensuring correct falls, jointing, and outlet positioning to optimise rainwater discharge performance.

The modular system design enabled efficient on-site installation and alignment with the structural roof edge detail.

Outcome

The installation delivered:

• • Effective rainwater management
  • Enhanced façade integration
  • Reduced long-term maintenance requirements
  • Durable performance suitable for commercial applications

The Aluminium Box Gutter system provided a practical and architecturally cohesive solution for modern commercial roof drainage.
