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.

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.
