Yes, we offer options for veranda gutters. You can choose between our sleek straight channels or our elegant oval channels, depending on your personal preference.
For verandas up to 6 meters wide, two standers are sufficient. If your veranda exceeds 6 meters in width, we recommend adding an extra stander. For verandas wider than 7 meters, ordering a third stander becomes essential for safety.
You can choose a single-piece gutter for verandas up to 7 meters wide. If your veranda exceeds 7 meters, you'll need to join two gutter pieces, and we recommend adding a stander at the joint for optimal support.
A spie is a small component used in veranda installations to ensure proper alignment and structural stability. It helps distribute weight evenly, prevents sagging, and provides a secure fit between components. Our spie options are available in polycarbonate or aluminum. The spie is placed on the upper sides of the veranda in a triangular shape, covering the angled section. Since verandas are always installed at an 8-degree slope, when viewed from the side, you will notice a triangular gap between the post and the wall profile. The spie is designed to close this gap, providing a more finished and aesthetically pleasing look while also offering additional protection from wind and rain.
A zijwand is a sidewall that can be added to your veranda for extra protection and privacy. It helps shield the space from wind, rain, and direct sunlight while also enhancing the overall look of your veranda. At X3 Aluminium, we offer side walls in polycarbonate or aluminium. Polycarbonate sidewalls are lightweight and durable, while aluminium rabat sidewalls provide a sleek and sturdy finish. Adding a zijwand makes your veranda more comfortable year-round by reducing exposure to the elements.

Aluminium profiles are low-maintenance by nature. A simple cleaning with mild soap and water is typically all thatโs needed to keep them looking their best. For areas with harsh environmental conditions, periodic inspection is recommended to ensure all fittings remain secure.
