Effective eavestroughs

To ensure these performance standards, the installation must be carried out by experienced professionals. Therefore, it is essential to choose not only high-quality gutters but also reliable service and a trusted company.

Type of eavestroughs

Materials currently available on the market

Pre-painted Galvalume Steel: The choice for performance and durability. Made from the toughest material on the market, it is coated with an alloy that has exceptional properties, ensuring unmatched resistance to weather, corrosion, and stains. Thanks to a high-precision manufacturing process, it is the ideal choice for long-lasting and eco-friendly protection.
Copper: Elegant and timeless, it offers exceptional durability while adding character to your property. Its distinctive appearance makes it a popular choice for prestigious buildings.
Pre-painted Aluminum: While commonly used, aluminum is a lighter and more fragile material, less rigid and durable than Galvalume steel. Its high expansion coefficient makes it prone to deformation, leaks, and discoloration. Additionally, runoff water in contact with aluminum can be harmful to plants, animals, and humans.
Plastic: The least effective and most harmful to the environment. Highly flexible, it bends and cracks easily, loses color quickly, and contains a high level of dioxin, a toxic substance that has led to its ban in several countries due to its harmful environmental effects.

The design of eavestroughs

Most gutters have a back and front at the same level, which promotes water infiltration under the roof and ice accumulation during the winter. To be truly effective, gutters should have a back that is raised 1 to 3 inches higher than the front, allowing them to be installed above the downspouts.
