Evesthrough System - Outlet

Water flows from the slopes of your roof into the gutters, laid along all the edges of your roof. However, in one or several places, the water must find an outlet to flow down – directly into a rainwater tank. The component responsible for redirecting the water downwards is the steel downspout, which is connected to the system as a junction between two gutters. It is most commonly located at the corner of the building and near a drainage well.

Steel gutters channel water to a single location where the steel downspout is situated. This is the final component of the gutter system that encircles the entire roof. The water collected during precipitation is gathered in the downspout funnel, which redirects the entire flow of water from horizontal (gutter) to vertical (downpipe).

The steel downspout must be very durable. It receives a strong flow of water, especially during heavy rainfall, which needs to be redirected. Fortunately, all components of our steel gutter system are extremely resilient and reliably transfer the flowing water onward. Their resistance to weather conditions further enhances their longevity, allowing for their use over many decades.
