The Strawberry Flower Festival Display

 

Copper Box, Flower Festival, Sustainable, Rainwater Harvesting, Eco-friendly, Bespoke

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 long-life span of the guttering, pushing almost 100 years, makes Copper guttering a no-brainer in protecting the lifespan of your home.

Metal Gutta is proud to be the UK’s only manufacturer of copper guttering. Copper guttering is unique in its properties, as copper works as a natural biocide, which not only purifies water, but halts the build-up of algae meaning it is the natural choice for your guttering when rainwater harvesting. Versatile, affordable, and great for both the environment and your home. Why not place an order today?

Coppa Gutta launches new copper roof ridges at Grand Designs Live

 Copper roof ridges and copper guttering  Coppa Gutta is the only manufacturer in the UK supplying copper rainwater systems and we have specialised in copper guttering since 1992. Now to complement the range of guttering, we launched a new copper ridge flashing product at Grand Designs Live in October. For a low cost, natural way to reduce repetitive and often dangerous roof cleaning, installing copper ridge flashing will help to diminish the growth of moss, algae and lichen build up on the roof. Not only can this build up create a dull and dirty looking roof, which can reduce the potential value of the property, it can also cause many structural problems. Even the thinnest layer of moss will act like a sponge, absorbing water and therefore increasing the weight and stress on the roof, shortening its productive life span. Frost can also become a problem pushing tiles up and cracking them. Moss build up on roofs has become more prevalent today since the Clean ...

Malaysia Guttering Project

  Copper Downpipe, Guttering and Bends   This was a recent project that we undertook in which we produced copper guttering to be installed on a customer’s house in Malaysia. The guttering in question was our standard half round and featured a mixture of guttering, downpipes, bends, and hopper heads. Copper Guttering and Hopper Head   The hoppers which were produced for this build were our Margaret hoppers, attached to our 80mm  diameter downpipes and our standard half round guttering. A massive installation in an exotic part  of the world, which the customer provided the drawings for us to work to, not only for his summer home but also his pet tiger’s house.   The customer specifically chose us to produce and provide the guttering for him after contacting various other guttering companies around the world and shopping around for the best possible option. We subsequently invited the customer to come and tour our factory and witness first-hand his o...
