Gutter end cap

Gutter end cap or gutter face is the terminating element of the gutter system. It is placed at the end of the gutter to prevent water from flowing freely outside the drainage system.

Features of the gutter end cap

The end cap performs several practical functions, such as:

• It closes the gutter end caps, thus ensuring the correct direction of water to the downspouts.
• Prevents water from leaking onto the facade or roof structure.
• Increases the service life of the gutter system by preventing water from leaking and accumulating in unwanted places.

End cap installation

The installation of the end cap is very simple, while it is usually fixed by simple insertion. Sometimes it is necessary to use a rubber seal or glue. In the case of metal gutters, the end cap can be riveted or soldered. It is important to choose the right size and material for the end cap according to the specific gutter.

Types of end caps

There are several types of end caps made of unconventional materials, such as: plastic PVC terminals or metal end caps made of steel, aluminium, titanium-zinc or copper. Some end caps are supplemented with rubber seals for better insulation.

The end cap of the gutter is an essential part of the gutter system, which closes the gutter, prevents water leakage and protects the facade from damage.
