GUTTER SYSTEMS
Protecting your foundation, landscaping, and basement is important. Learn what goes into professionally channeling water away from your home.
1. GUTTERS
We custom fabricate 6" Seamless Gutters to each project. We believe anything less is size is inefficient for proper water runoff. We also believe Seamless Gutters are longer lasting and provide less maintenance.
2. DOWNSPOUTS
Made from the same material as the gutters, downspouts come in 10ft runs, and because they're used vertically, the seams aren't impacted as much from water runoff. The size of the downspout dictates how efficient water run off can be channeled.
3. OUTLET TUBES
An outlet tube is a component that connects your downspout to your gutter. The size and shape matches the gutter and downspout installed to your home.
4. GUTTER GUARDS
Gutter guards are designed to prevent different types of debris from entering your gutter system. These valuable components help save time with maintenance, allow for maximum water flow helping keep your home dry and protected..
5. SPLASH GUARDS
Splash guards are painted aluminum panels affixed to your gutter system where the valleys of your roof flow into the gutter system. Splash guards help direct faster moving water into your gutter for proper drainage.
6. FASTENERS
Fasteners are vital for proper installation and long-term effectiveness of a gutter system. These help support the gutter when filled with water and debris. Using proper hardware helps both the aesthetics and sustainability to your gutter system.
7. MITERS
Miters are components that join two different gutter runs to a corner. At Locke & Ladder we custom fabricate these to fit our systems.
8. END CAPS
These parts cap off the ends of gutter runs. Are specific to which end of the run they're affixed and serve to contain the water collecting. Allowing the gutters to direct the flow to a downspout for maximum efficiency.
9. DOWNSPOUT TRAPS
The downspout trap is attached to each 10ft. downspout. They serve primarily to secure the downspout to the structure to withstand storm drainage, but can also be a secondary means to collecting some debris.
10. SEALANT
Sealant is popular material used across a myriad of projects. For gutter systems we use elastomeric sealant to properly seal components together. Soldering isn't a common practice to avoid damaging paint for maximum aesthetics and functionality.
