Fascia brackets are the backbone of any guttering system, ensuring that your gutters stay securely attached to the exterior of your home through all kinds of weather. Often referred to as gutter clips, they play a crucial role in keeping your gutters in place and directing rainwater efficiently. However, for them to function properly, they must be installed correctly—starting with proper spacing.
When installing fascia brackets, the first one should be placed about 100mm from the edge of the fascia board. Additional brackets should not be spaced further than 1000mm apart, and they should never be more than 150mm away from any fittings like unions or angles. For example, if you’re dealing with a gutter run of 4 meters, the first bracket should be positioned around 12mm higher than the outlet to allow for a slight downward slope.
It's important to note that certain fittings, like gutter angles and external stop ends, require fascia bracket support within 15cm on either side. On the Other hand, unions, running outlets, and stop end outlets come with built-in fixing lugs, eliminating the need for separate brackets. Downpipes and their fittings, however, should be supported by downpipe clips, with one installed approximately every 180cm, and directly under any swan neck bends.
The spacing of your brackets depends on the type of guttering system you're working with. For instance, half-round, deep flow, square, and mini gutters typically require brackets spaced at 1-meter intervals. Industrial gutters like 160mm, 170mm, and 200mm systems may need brackets closer together, at 60cm intervals. For Ogee gutters, spacing should be at 80cm centers.
Improper spacing can lead to instability, causing the gutters to bend, leak, or break under pressure. It’s crucial to follow the recommended guidelines to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your guttering system.
If you're in a region prone to heavy snowfall, it's wise to consider how much additional weight your gutters may have to bear. Snow can accumulate and melt, adding significant weight. While our products meet British manufacturing standards and can handle up to 75kg of snow when installed correctly, installing snow guards on smooth roofs like slate can help prevent excessive snow buildup.
Safety is paramount during installation. Always ensure scaffolding is in place or have someone hold your ladder securely. Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling tools and materials.
