Metal Gutta working alongside their partner company Archirest Ltd manufactured a double-seamed roof and wall cladding for this property on the picturesque and idyllic Elba, an island located in the North Tyrrhenian Sea, part of the Tuscany Archipelagos. This island is not only famous for its beautiful and peaceful scenery, but also for its historic significance as this was the island where Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled in 1814 before escaping to France 10 months later and starting the “War of the Seventh Coalition”. Additionally, Elba was once renowned for its rich Iron deposits, with the Romans famously visiting to construct their swords, allowing for their many victories and inception of their empire. Despite being an important and famous tourist destination, most of the land is protected and the rules around building are incredibly strict. For this particular cliffside villa that Archirest Ltd and Metal Gutta worked on, stone and iron were chosen as the materials for building, keepi...

  Metal Gutta was approached by one of their customers for help on an exhibition at The Strawberry Flower Festival. Ivy Dene Flower Farm were hosting a display which was entirely focused-on renewability and sustainability. The aim of this exhibit was to showcase British flowers from ‘Flowers from The Farm’ members, and they could only use sustainable methods of display. The reason Ivy Dene contacted Metal Gutta was for their copper guttering . Copper is infinitely recyclable and as such makes it great for the environment and an excellent choice for the show. Metal Gutta’s large box guttering was used for the display, cleverly being cut down and made into a trough, the guttering was then filled with soil and flowers. Approximately 60% of the material content used in the production of Metal Gutta’s Copper guttering is from recycled copper, this makes copper one of, if not the most eco-friendly guttering material available in the market today. This coupled with the incredibly lon...
