Gutter system

No house can do without a functional gutter system that protects it from weather, moisture, corrosion and damage, thereby extending its service life. Therefore, a quality gutter system is one of the most important investments.

What is a gutter system

It is a system of structural elements designed for efficient collection and drainage of rainwater from the roof of the building. It consists of horizontal eaves gutters that collect water flowing from the roof covering, vertical downpipes that ensure its controlled drainage towards the ground, into a sewer or collection tank for further use. 

The gutter system is supplemented by various connecting elements, such as elbows and fittings, which allow for the direction of the water flow to be adjusted according to the specific needs of the structure. Dirt traps prevent the eaves gutter from becoming clogged with leaves and other impurities. The individual parts are fastened using brackets and hooks, which ensure stability and long service life of the system. 

Gutter systems are currently made of various materials, such as galvanized steel, aluminum, titanium-zinc, plastic, or copper, each with its specific properties in terms of resistance, aesthetics, and maintenance. The cost of the material also varies. Therefore, the choice depends on the requirements for the specific building or the customer's preferences.

Functions of the gutter system

The main functions of each gutter include:

• protection of facade and foundations against moisture,
• protection against soil waterlogging and erosion,
• prevention of mould formation and water damage,
• collection of rainwater for further use (e.g. watering).
