ColorCote provide pre-painted steel and aluminium spouting that has been designed to survive the harshest conditions New Zealand can throw at them.
This includes spouting for severe coastal or even geothermal conditions.
Make sure you choose the roofing and spouting materials that have been designed for atmospheric conditions where you live.
In recent years many homes have started collecting rainwater for household use. Using your spouting to collect rainwater for drinking purposes is often due to being in areas with no town supply, but also due to environmental concerns.
ColorCote's spouting materials meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4020:2018 and are suitable for the
collection of drinking water.
Spouting made from Alumiguard provides you with the toughest durability and colour retention available.
Alumiguard spouting is made from marine grade aluminium and will not rust - ever!
It is perfect for marine or coastal areas, as well as geothermal environments.
Magna Flow is an incredible innovative coating that "heals" the cuts that are made while fitting your spouting.
This provides your spouting with amazing corrosion resistance due to a thick magnesium-containing metallic coating that is unmatched in New Zealand. It is also ideal for industrial applications with optional additional protective coatings.
Zina Core spouting is perfect for most moderate environments, and is protected with a hot-dipped aluminium/zinc alloy coating.
Spouting made with Zina Core is coated with special infrared reflective pigments, making it extremely durable. It protects against UV damage and provides excellent gloss and colour retention.
New Zealand's Best Spouting Warranty
No other roofing or spouting company in New Zealand offers more peace of mind than ColorCote. This is the number one reason Fine Line recommends ColorCote, as we want you to get the best warranty available.ColorCote is so confident in both its manufacturing process and paint finish that it offers a 10–15 year warranty. As part of our ColorCote spouting resources, we’ve provided a breakdown of the standard coverage levels below:
Guttering and Downpipes10-year warranty for the paint finish
10- to 12-year warranty against perforation*
Fascia10-year warranty for the paint finish*
15-year warranty against perforation*
*Terms and conditions apply
The actual length of the warranty you receive will depend on where you live and the environmental conditions. To ensure your coverage remains valid, there are also minimum maintenance requirements, such as a manual wash every six months for unwashed areas (like the underside of your fascia) and the regular removal of debris from your gutters.
Here is a simple, practical checklist designed to help your customers maintain their warranty and keep their rainwater systems in top shape. You can add this to your ColorCote spouting resources page or offer it as a downloadable PDF.
Maintenance Checklist: Protecting Your Warranty
To ensure your ColorCote or COLORSTEEL® warranty remains valid and your spouting continues to perform, regular care is essential. Use this checklist as a guide for your bi-annual home maintenance.1. Clear Debris (Every 3–6 Months)
Remove Leaves: Clean out all leaves, twigs, and organic matter from gutters and valleys.
Check Downpipes: Ensure water flows freely and there are no blockages at the entry points.
Why? Standing water and decaying organic matter can cause "micro-climates" that lead to premature corrosion.
2. The "Six-Month Washdown"
Target "Unwashed" Areas: Focus on areas that don’t get rinsed by natural rainfall, such as the underside of the fascia and the inner lip of the spouting.
Soft Wash Only: Use a soft-bristled brush and fresh water. If needed, a very mild detergent can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure water blasters.
Why? Salt spray and atmospheric grime build up in sheltered spots and can eat away at the paint finish if not rinsed away.
3. Visual Inspection (After Heavy Storms)
Check Brackets: Ensure all internal or external brackets are secure and the spouting hasn't sagged.
Inspect Joins: Look for any signs of leaks at the corners or joins.
Note Scratches: If you notice any deep scratches that expose the metal, contact Fine Line for advice on touch-up procedures to prevent rust.
Pro Tip for Hamilton Homeowners
If your property is located near heavy industry or geothermal activity, we recommend increasing your washdown frequency to every three months to provide maximum protection for your investment.
