Mustang Gutters: A Sustainable Choice for Councils
Seamless gutters, particularly the Mustang Seamless Aluminium Guttering System, offer councils an innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for rainwater management. Designed to be leak-free, low-maintenance, and durable, Mustang seamless gutters help towards environmental and financial objectives for social housing providers.
Environmental Benefits
Mustang seamless aluminium gutters are roll-formed from aluminium coil with at least 83% recycled content and have a functional life expectancy of over 30 years. Aluminium is one of the most readily recyclable materials, with recycling rates in construction exceeding 95% in Europe. This significantly reduces the demand for raw materials and contributes to a circular economy.
The system is produced in precise lengths on-site, eliminating waste and the need for packaging.
Cost Efficiency
The Mustang system offers unparalleled durability. Unlike traditional sectional systems, the seamless design reduces the need for joints – the most common point of failure. This dramatically reduces the risk of leaks and ongoing repair costs, offering councils long-term savings.
Additionally, Mustang seamless gutters are cost-comparable to uPVC, making them an affordable option with premium performance, especially when lifecycle costs are considered. Their extended lifespan and minimal maintenance needs ensure excellent value for public sector budgets.
Safety and Installation Advantages
Installation of Mustang seamless gutters is safer and more efficient, as much of the work is carried out at ground level, including bracket installation. Gutters are roll-formed on-site from pre-coloured aluminium coils using a van-mounted seamless gutter machine, enabling quick production of lengths up to 30 metres.
This minimises the time spent working at height, reducing risks and costs associated with safety protocols. It also cuts emissions tied to transporting pre-manufactured materials, aligning with councils’ environmental targets.
Compliance and Quality Assurance
Mustang is the only BBA-certified seamless aluminium guttering system, ensuring it meets stringent standards for quality and performance.
ARP has held the BBA certificate for the Mustang Seamless Aluminium Guttering System since 1991.
The BBA certification process includes regular audits of the product and approved installers, giving councils peace of mind that the system will perform reliably.
Why Mustang Gutters Make Sense for Councils
Mustang seamless gutters represent a forward-thinking solution for councils seeking to meet sustainability goals without compromising cost or performance. With a lifespan exceeding 30 years, minimal maintenance needs, and eco-friendly credentials, it’s a solution that works for the environment and your budget.
