The steel downpipe in the gutter system directs the water flow where it will not harm the building and its surroundings, nor diminish the comfort of its inhabitants. This simple element is available in various diameters, allowing for the selection of its capacity to match the roof area and the efficiency of the gutter system.
Our gutter pipes also vary in length, facilitating the installation of rainwater drainage for both low and high buildings. Longer pipes also reduce the number of necessary connections and wall mountings. The steel gutter downpipe plays a vital role in the system, as without it, water could damage the building’s walls and undermine the foundations. Placing it at the edges of the building, where the gutters descend, ensures efficient distribution of rainwater to the ground and utility tanks.
Just like our entire gutter system, the steel pipes are made from a durable alloy and protected against corrosion. Four layers ensure their protection against environmental elements: a primer, zinc coating, passivation, and an organic layer. With such protection, the gutter system excels in harsh environmental conditions, performing flawlessly even over several decades. The steel downpipe features a bell-and-spigot joint which allows for the assembly of long elements without the need for additional couplings. This design creates a watertight connection for the flowing water.

Steel gutter cross section
Our high-quality steel gutters are manufactured with four layers of protective coatings to ensure durability and performance. This superior construction includes a zinc layer applied directly to the steel for corrosion resistance. A passivation layer follows, promoting strong adhesion for the subsequent primer layer, which further enhances the anti-corrosive properties and provides a secure bond for the final layer. The organic coating tops off the system, offering ultimate resilience against adverse weather and mechanical damage while also providing the gutter with its aesthetic appeal. The comprehensive coating process is applied to both the interior and exterior surfaces of the gutter, ensuring thorough protection.
