Types of gutters
Gutters play a very important role, preventing flooding of the facade and building, eliminating the risk of biological corrosion. However, to effectively fulfill their role, they must be properly selected and properly installed.
Currently, various gutter variants are used. Depending on the material from which they are made, we can distinguish:
- coated sheet metal gutters, metal, covered with a special coating that protects against corrosion, available in various color variants, are durable and resistant to loads, as well as the effects of various weather conditions,
- PVC gutters , i.e. made of plastic, mainly polyvinyl chloride, thanks to mass dyeing they are available in various color variants, PVC material does not corrode and is very durable,
- aluminium gutters, made of aluminium sheet, also resistant to corrosion, can be varnished, painted or have a special protective coating applied to them, protecting the system components against atmospheric factors, they are also highly resistant to mechanical damage, they are lightweight gutters that do not excessively burden the roof,
- galvanized gutters, for which special protection has been provided against atmospheric factors and corrosion,
- titanium-zinc gutters are high-quality options with a rough surface,
- copper gutters are high quality and have an impressive appearance, used mainly in high-budget projects where the whole thing has to look really perfect, as well as in historic buildings, resistant to corrosion.
In addition to the material, gutters are divided according to the shape of the cross-section. This parameter determines, among other things, the durability and capacity of the system. The most common are semicircular gutters. Their greatest advantage is durability and high capacity. They are perfect as a gutter system for large roofs. In addition to elliptical gutters, trapezoidal, rectangular and cornice-shaped gutters are also used, but due to their limitations, they are more suitable for smaller surfaces.

The type of gutters must always be individually matched to the needs of a given building. The most important thing is the type of gutters, including their cross-section and the material from which they are made. Only then will the entire system be efficient and allow for effective water drainage. It is also worth paying special attention to the quality of the products, what do we recommend?
