Vinyl Rain Gutters and Downspouts A rain gutter (also known as eavestrough, eaves channel, guttering or simply as a gutter) is a narrow channel, or trough, forming the component of a roof system which collects and diverts rainwater shed by the roof. A rain gutter may be a: I. Roof integral trough along the lower edge of the roof slope which is fashioned from the roof covering and flashing materials. II. Discrete trough of metal, or other material that is suspended beyond the roof edge and below the projected slope of the roof. III. Wall integral structure beneath the roof edge, traditionally constructed of masonry, fashioned as the crowning element of a wall. The main purpose of a rain gutter is to protect a building's foundation by channeling water away from its base. They also help to reduce erosion, prevent leaks in basements and crawlspaces, protect painted surfaces by reducing exposure to water, and provide a means to collect rainwater for later use. Your home’s protection against rain or water damage depends on your rain gutter system. This is what prevents water from damaging your foundation, or simply prevents water from falling on your head. Rain gutters can be constructed from a variety of materials, including cast iron, lead, zinc, galvanised steel, painted steel, copper, painted aluminium, PVC (and other plastics), concrete, stone, and wood. Vinyl Rain Gutters and Downspouts Advantages **Easy Install The vinyl gutter system is basically the easiest system to install. This is because of their little weight and because they come in pre-cut sections. **No Rust Compared to steel vinyl is not a material that needs maintenance nor does it rust. The only maintenance needed is when debris and leaves clog the system, and you need to clean it. **Low Cost They have a very low price.
