Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A rain gutter (also known as eaves trough, eaves channel guttering or simply as a gutter) is a narrow channel, or trough, forming the component of a roof system which collects and diverts rainwater shed by the roof. A rain gutter may be a(n): 1. Roof integral trough along the lower edge of the roof slope which is fashioned from the roof covering and flashing materials. 2. Discrete trough of metal, or other material that is suspended beyond the roof edge and below the projected slope of the roof. 3. Wall integral structure beneath the roof edge, traditionally constructed of masonry, fashioned as the crowning element of a wall. The main purpose of a rain gutter is to protect a building's foundation by channeling water away from its base. They also help to reduce erosion, prevent leaks in basements and crawlspaces, protect painted surfaces by reducing exposure to water, and provide a means to collect rainwater for later use.
