When it comes to conservatory roof installations, few issues cause more long-term frustration than gutter leaks. For installers, the consequences of water ingress can be both costly and reputationally damaging. That’s why Sheerline Bespoke’s S2 box gutter system for our S2 glazed conservatory roof system represents such a breakthrough in conservatory box gutter design.
Engineered to solve the persistent weaknesses seen in traditional guttering systems, particularly around jointing, capacity, and structural support, the S2 delivers a highly reliable and effective installer-friendly solution.
Here, we take a closer look at the design features and technical innovation behind the S2, and why it’s quickly becoming the go-to choice for those seeking optimal performance in challenging British conditions.
What makes the S2 box gutter system so reliable?
At the heart of the S2 system is a commitment to engineering out common failure points. It’s no secret that box gutters, while visually discreet, are often where issues such as leaking joints and structural sagging occur. The design addresses these concerns head-on with several industry-leading features:
-
Self-supporting aluminium box gutter
Unlike traditional systems that rely on gallows brackets, the S2 box gutter includes a discreet internal support brace. This innovation provides adequate support without the need for visible external structures, streamlining the installation process and preserving the conservatory’s clean lines.
-
Independent from the eaves beam
The gutter runs independently of the standard eaves beam, which means installers avoid awkward mitres or time-consuming notching. This not only speeds up installation but also eliminates a common source of leaks as the box gutter runs, uninterrupted over the head of the window frame.
-
High-capacity design
The S2 offers high capacity as standard, making it suitable for a variety of conservatory roof slopes. Whether the installation faces occasional showers or persistent downpours, the system is built to handle the volume.
-
Outbound gutter adaptors
The watertight jointing solution is simple but highly effective. Gutter adaptors sit outbound, meaning the risk of water penetrating the joint is virtually eliminated, a significant improvement on older classic uPVC gutter solutions where internal joints often weaken over time.
How does the S2 box gutter system solve long-standing industry challenges?
The S2 system directly addresses some of the most common concerns faced by both installers and homeowners:
- Leaking joints: Outbound adaptors and watertight jointing significantly reduce the risk of water ingress.
- Difficult installations: With no need for gallows brackets or complex mitres, installers can work more quickly.
- Large box gutter spans: The discreet internal support braces can be positioned anywhere along the length of the box gutter. So, box lengths over 6m can be jointed with the joint area supported by the internal support braces, allowing for almost infinite box getter lengths.
- Aesthetic compromises: No visible supports or awkward joints mean clean, contemporary rooflines every time.
A superior feature of the S2 conservatory roof system
The S2 Conservatory Roof, a high-performance, aluminium framed roof system built for strength, thermal efficiency, and sleek modern aesthetics and available in a precision kit form. Its chambered PVC-U cappings improve thermal efficiency, while the optional aluminium caps enhance the squared lines to create a clean contemporary look.
The eaves beam and optional bolster allow wide spans, enabling large door openings without compromising structure, while it also features a variable pitch range (2.5°–37.5°), internal pelmet to hide lighting and gutter shrouds. Our outstanding, ultra-strong, self-supporting box gutter integrates seamlessly with the full roof system. The S2 is ideal for:
- Installers looking for speed, consistency, and reliability
- Fabricators wanting a clean, precise system for their customers, and to complement their fabricated frames.
- Homeowners demanding low-maintenance, leak-free performance combined with up-to-date aesthetics.
