Installation advice Get it right first time with Lysaght products Bracket spacing When the gutters are attached to Novaline fascia, then the gutter bracket spacing should mirror the spacing of the Novaline brackets (ie 600mm & 1200mm), and the gutter brackets should be adjacent to the Novaline brackets. Adverse conditions However, when the gutters are fixed to other fascias then the weight of the water carried by the gutter should determine spacing required - however spacing should not exceed 1200mm maximum. Installation Advice For sealed joints use screws or rivets and neutral-cure silicone...
