Seldom do box gutters have a width exceeding 500mm. There are lots of good practical reasons for this. However up until now the general purpose LYSAGHT SPANDEK® trapezoidal profiled sheet has been all we have been able to offer to provide a platform support on the underside of these box gutters.
The general purpose LYSAGHT SPANDEK® sheet has a standard (700mm) cover width. When used as a support for box gutters it often is necessity to cut it longitudinally to make it fit on site, with associated labour costs and wastage.
It was therefore a 'no-brainer' to modify our existing production equipment at our Archerfield factory to produce a special roll formed width of 525mm (edge to edge) in the same trapezoidal profile.

| The new Lysaght Box Gutter Support has a total cover width of 530mm and a rib height of 24mm and a lapped (cover) width of 445mm. |
A typical installation of the new LYSAGHT SPANDEK® Box Gutter Support suspended between LYSAGHT® Adjustable Box Gutter Support Brackets avoids the necessity to do any onsite cutting in most applications

For wider box gutters it is still possible to use either the standard width LYSAGHT SPANDEK® or side lap 2 sections of the new Box Gutter Support. This works much better in most applications and compliments the existing LYSAGHT® adjustable box gutter bracket. See illustration below.
