down the spout Marley launches metallic finish spouting system New Zealanders have trusted Marley spouting and downpipe systems to protect their homes from the elements for over 40 years. Now, Marley has introduced a new generation of designer uPVC spouting and downpipe systems – the Marley Stratus Design series. When renovating, replacing existing spouting or building a new home, the Marley Stratus Design Series offers a premium sophisticated look while protecting against New Zealand’s unique UV rays and changeable climatic conditions. It is guaranteed to never rust, rot or corrode.

The Stratus Design Series includes the popular Typhoon half round spouting with a choice of internal or external mounting brackets. The system also includes New Zealand’s number one selling round downpipe, Marley RP80, and a full range of moulded components in matching titanium and copper colours. These low maintenance products are proudly manufactured in New Zealand, not to mention 100% recyclable. The system is also suitable for collection of safe drinking water when used as part of the Marley Rainharvesting system. www.marley.co.nz Quick new solution for leaky roofs and gutters Leaking roofs and gutters can be a real worry as they can quickly cause serious damage to your customers’ homes. Current roof & gutter silicone sealants are an easy way to seal all those leaks around your roof – the downside being they can take up to 72 hours to cure. To overcome this time issue, Selleys has developed its Roof & Gutter Speed Seal, a product that has been specifically designed to be “rain ready” in only 1 hour giving the homeowner peace of mind that their house is protected from the weather.

NEW
New Hedgehog diverter system soon Laurie Dee, founder and CEO of Rainworks Ltd, introduced the Hedgehog gutter filter to the world back in 1994 and won awards in Australia and the United States for the innovation. Now the range includes five different bristle profiles, 60-150mm diameters and two different bristle thicknesses – Regular or Bird & Rodent – and is made using high quality components such as stainless steel wire and commercial grade carbon black polypropylene. Not one to rest on his laurels, Dee says he will be launching a new diverter system later in the year. “I cannot provide details at this time other than to say that I believe it might ultimately prove to be the best thing I ever invented,” he says. www.hedgehog.cc
“Exterior home maintenance toward the end of summer requires a top down or vertically integrated approach” End of summer? Work from the top down! Exterior home maintenance toward the end of summer requires a top down or vertically integrated approach: start with roof and gutters followed by walls and windows, says Murray Brown of Browns Brushware. Clean and possibly coat the roof and clean the gutters. Close inspection of the latter may also indicate replacement. Gutter maintenance could include a leaf guard to ward off Autumn leaves and other debris from blocking the gutters. Browns Brushware has several options for gutter maintenance, including its Gutter Whisker brush filter which can be installed from a ladder, removed at will and cleaned. One side effect of gutter cleaning may be an amount of “Gutter Crap” being splattered over the side of the house which is easily remedied by snapping Browns’ Telescopic Wash Brush onto their garden hose and cleaning off any residue. To help with dirty windows Browns has its Telescopic Soft Flagged Fill Brush with Squeegee which just snaps onto a standard hose. Optional biodegradable Soap Sticks lather up a treat and don’t contain phosphates. www.brownbrush.co.nz www.gutterwhiskers.co.nz
