Q4

Can I custom design my own UNI-BRACKET ?

Yes. We would consider that a "custom" bracket fabrication, which means the lead time and cost would increase.

Q5

Bracket Categories & Ordering

There are many web sites and books on this subject. Most of our sales are for 6" gutters, and a few for 5".

Q6

Is the amount of rainfall the only determining factor in sizing a gutter ?

A6

No. In our opinion a 5" gutter, even on a small 1000 s.f. building, looks too small in proportion and almost not visible form a distance. A 6" gutter just has a nice scale and adds a bit of a horizontal element.

About us

How do you brackets compare to other ways of attaching guttering ?

Q9

They don't. Our brackets are significantly more aesthetically pleasing, exhibit the nature of the attachment functionally, and superior in strength. We do not consider our brackets as just another way of securing guttering, but rather fine hardware.

News & Events

Doesn't it cost less to just build a Fascia Board around the entire house, and use the fascia mount brackets that are sold by others ?

Q10

A10

No, not when you compare the cost of using the proper exterior grade wood for the fascia board and the proper priming and two coats of paint. ( see " JUST IMAGINE" page)

Q11

From a business standpoint, why should I use your brackets ?

A11

We believe that our brackets actually add value to a house. Adding a unique accent such as our brackets suggests quality throughout a home which results in a good return on your investment

Q12

If I use your brackets on several houses, is there a discount ?

A12

Absolutely. Depending on the quantity, we can offer a greater "discount to the trade" than we normally do.

Q13

Can you supply the guttering as well ?

We would be happy to help in the selection of guttering. There are several makers of gutters, and each one is a bit different. We can offer our independent suggestions and opinions on each.

Q17

Are these brackets complimentary to the "New Urbanist" movement ?

We believe so. This "movement" encompasses many, many different ideas which are not all about architecture. But we do know that an aspect of the "ideal" community is less vehicles and more walking, which means more than ever details on your designs will be seen and appreciated.
