Stratco has designed an extensive choice of gutter styles, from
the more traditional colonial styles to today's modern
contemporary designs. Most of Stratco's gutters have the
revolutionary suspension rib. This enables the gutter if used
with either Clickfast®, or Clickform™ steel fascia, to be fixed
with the Stratco Suspension Clip, the system which has proudly
received an Australian Classic Design Award. When using timber
fascia the suspension rib can be used with timber fix clips.
