No, it won't overflow easier compared to rectangular gutter because a round base gutter will have better water discharge during heavy rain.

Yes, all types of building. As long as there’s enough number of discharge outlet.
(Depends on the number of outlet, not gutter size)
3) Will debris get stuck in between internal bracket & gutter?
It is better to prevent debris/remnants between the internal brackets and gutter than letting it enter and clog up the rainwater downpipe.

​
1.​ Resists corrosion and will not be affected by chemical such as acid, alkaline or corrosive gas. It is the best choice of gutter system along coastal areas with 'salty' air.
2. Resists formation of sludge. Therefore it is neater and cleaner. Its smooth surface will enhance the flow rate of rainwater.
3. Fewer joints. Standard length of gutter is 5.8 meter; i.e. about 2.5 times lesser joints than G.I. gutter.
​
4. Jointing method with solvent cement. Easy and permanent. Jointing surfaces become bonded. Solvent joints are proven to be very durable and reliable over long periods of time. Please refer to our SOP of solvent cement.
​
5. All parts are machine produced. Product quality is always controlled and consistent. Modular system makes installation and handling of gutter simple and easy.
​
6. SIRIM Certified. Arensi-Marley's uPVC Gutter System is manufactured with compliance to BS EN607 : 2004.

​
9. Low maintenance expenses. It is durable, water tight and long-lasting.
G.I. Gutter
​
1. Reacts adversely with chemicals and coastal air.
​
​
​
​
2. Muddy and slushy sediment or sludge tends to accumulate along the gutter, which will cause blockage.
​
​
3. Joints at every 8 feet (2.5 meter) interval. Special care needed to prevent leaks at joints.
​
4. Jointing method with rivet or screw to hold metal sheets together. Bitumen needed to seal gaps in between jointing sheets. Unskilled work may cause ponding along gutter run and eventually rust and cause leaking problems.
​
​
5. Skilled workers needed for proper installation.
​
​
​
6. No certification on product.
​
​
7. Mostly geographically supplied. No warranty provided. Prone to rust or leak.

10) Why F370?
· Fast flow channeling - a round base gutter for better water discharging during heavy rain.
· Better performance - perfect solvent welded for all joining point. Non-leakage.
· Spouthead rubber ring for thermal movements along gutter run. Leak proof.
· Rear outlet - side discharging outlet for hidden down pipe.
11) Which bracket is most suitable when fascia board is not very straight?
Adjustable Bracket – can solve leveling problem and easy installation.
Internal Bracket – aesthetic and clean look.
External Bracket – for normal usage.
12) How much weight can be supported?
The gutter's purpose is to drain out the water, not to contain the water.
13) Why warp or disjointing?
· The main problem that cause warping is the fascia board quality; gutter brackets must be positioned at every 600mm along gutter run to fully support the systems.
· Disjointing have depend on the installation technique and suggest spouthead injection for thermal movement allowed for every 8m gutter run.
