New Rain Gutter System
June 6, 2008
When it rains, it pours. And rain gutters are supposed to help channel a downpour safely to the ground so there’s no ground erosion. The problem is that traditional rain gutters can easily get clogged with leaves, maple keys, twigs and other debris–making them ineffective and prone to flooding.
Fortunately, there’s another option–one designed to be immune to clogging. Rainhandler gutters use an open-louver system that breaks up sheets of water into small rain-sized drops that are deflected away from the home. The system is nearly invisible when it’s installed, so the natural lines of the home aren’t broken up by pipes and downspouts.
And even if a rare leaf should land in the louvers, it won’t affect the system’s performance at all. You will probably never have to clean them, but if you ever do, it can be done from the ground with a hose and a basic pressure nozzle.
A variation on traditional rain gutters can help homeowners avoid clogs and floods.
