Eaves Gutter Installation Guide for METAhybrid® Thermal Insulated Roofing Sheets

This visual demonstrates the correct installation method for the eaves gutter system, a crucial component in METAhybrid® roofing, designed to manage rainwater effectively and maintain the integrity of the building structure.

Key Components

Eaves Gutter:
  • Channels rainwater from the roof to the designated drainage system.
  • Designed to ensure smooth water flow while preventing overflow or leakage.
Closer Cap:
  • Seals the edge of the roofing sheet, ensuring no gaps for water, debris, or pests to enter.
  • Enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of the roofing system.
Eaves Flashing Lap:
  • Provides a smooth transition between the roof and the gutter system.
  • Prevents water infiltration while ensuring a clean and professional finish.
Gutter Support Bracket:
  • Installed at 500 mm spacing or on either side of gutter joints for robust support.
  • Ensures stability and alignment of the eaves gutter under heavy rain conditions.
Primary Fastener
  • Specifications: 5.5mm diameter, available in 65mm and 25mm lengths.
  • Features: Self-drilling Xylon-coated fasteners with EPDM washers for corrosion resistance and leak-proof attachment.
Installation Highlights:
1. Prepare the Framework: Attach the gutter support brackets at regular intervals of 500 mm or adjacent to gutter joints for maximum stability.
2. Position the Eaves Gutter: Align the gutter with the brackets and the edge of the roof, ensuring proper slope for water flow.
3. Secure the Gutter: Use primary fasteners with EPDM washers to securely attach the eaves gutter and closer cap, preventing water leakage and ensuring durability.
4. Install the Flashing Lap: Position the eaves flashing lap for a seamless connection between the roof and gutter, sealing any gaps for weatherproofing.
Why Eaves Gutters Are Essential:

Eaves gutters play a critical role in preserving the longevity of your building by efficiently directing rainwater away. The METAhybrid® eaves gutter system, coupled with durable fasteners and precise installation, ensures optimal drainage, protection against water damage, and enhanced curb appeal.
