ADVERSE CONDITIONS:

Stramit® Rainwater Products manufactured from COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® steel will give excellent durability in almost all locations more than 1km from a rough, active surf coastline, or more than 100m from calm still salt water. However, it is suggested that ZINCALUME® steel products be painted to enhance durability further.

Installations closer to the coastline are possible, but will require complete surface painting (including accessories). Contact Stramit to obtain specific painting instructions.

Applications within 500m of industrial or unusually corrosive environments will need to be individually assessed for durability. Contact your nearest Stramit office for advice.

External brackets for Stramit® Quad Gutters should only be used in benign locations.

COLOURS:

Most Stramit® products are available in the full range of COLORBOND® steel colours. In addition other colours, including gloss finish are stocked at some locations. Please check with your nearest Stramit office or distributor for availability.

MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY:

Drainage from copper or lead products (including roof flashings) should not be allowed to discharge on to ZINCALUME® or COLORBOND® steel components. Similarly, lead or copper components should not be installed in contact with ZINCALUME®. Each of these combinations will lead to premature corrosion.

FASCIA / GUTTERING COMPATIBILITY:

Only Stramit® Gutters may be used with Stramit® Fascia. Similarly only authentic Stramit® accessories are suitable for connecting Stramit® Gutters to Stramit® Fascia.

TESTING:

Stramit has in-house, purpose built testing equipment used to design, develop and improve products for the Australian market. In addition many Stramit® products are tested or witnessed by independent organisations.

These include:

• University of Technology, Sydney Cyclone Structural Testing Station
  (James Cook University)
  
  
• The University of Sydney
  
  
• CSIRO

The ongoing research and development activity ensure that Stramit remains at the forefront of innovation, design and consumer information.
