Imagine having spent so much in acquiring your dream home and after a few months, rain season hits; water starts pooling around your home, until one day you find your basement flooded. After the cleanup, there is just some paintwork needed to be done. But next year, there's more than only paintwork. And the year after that you are wishing it was only the paintwork because the bills are making a serious dent in your wallet.

As good as the rain water is if not channeled well, its not a friend of your building. It can decrease your property's lifespan, reduce your propertys valuation,damage exteriors,causes Foundation Damage, Flooded Basements and Garden Erosion.

With our American Aluminum Rain Gutter( Roof Gutter, Water Collector), you don't need to panic when the rain starts. Your building will be safe from any Rain induced damage for a minimum of 20 years. Visit our website www.raincache.ng for more information or call 08136526631, 08158942188.

GUTTER MATERIALS

Residential gutters are made from various materials, including:

Aluminum

Most widely used material
Lightweight and easy to maintain
Won’t rust
.032- or .027-gauge thickness recommended for long-lasting duty in a place like Nigeria
Comes in various colors and can be painted
Cost (materials and labor): N5,500 – N7500 Per Linear meter



Copper

Exceptional beauty
Won’t rust
No need to paint; will develop a patina over time
Needs pro installation; seams and joints must be welded
Used primarily on high-end residences, luxury buildings and historic restorations
Pricey
Cost of pro install (materials and labor): N15,000 – N25,000 per linear meter



Steel

Strong
Galvanized steel resists rust but longevity is an issue; may start to rust after 5 to 10 years
Many color options; can be painted
Heavy and not recommended for DIY
Can be pricey
Cost of pro install (materials and labor): N6,000 – N8,000 per linear meter



Vinyl (PVC)

Lightweight and inexpensive; good for DIYers
Not many colors to choose from
Color susceptible to fading from UV sunlight
May crack, sag or warp in severe weather
Won’t support ladders placed against them
Cost (materials and labor): N2,000 – N4,000 per linear meter



Zinc

Durable and long-lasting
No need to paint; will develop a patina over time
Needs pro installation; seams and joints must be welded
Used primarily on high-end residences and historic restorations
Expensive
Cost of pro install (materials and labor): N10,000 to N15,000 per linear meter, Only in half-round (K-style not available in zinc)


DOWNSPOUTS
Downspouts come as either round or square, in widths from 3 to 6 inches. The most common sizes are rectangular:

2 inches by 3 inches
Decorative varieties, such as spiral shapes, are available.

The size and number of downspouts you’ll need depends on the capacity of your system.

Rule of thumb: You need one downspout for about every 10 meters of gutter. To increase the capacity of your gutter system, add more downspouts.

HOW MUCH GUTTER DO YOU NEED?
Figuring gutters sizes and capacities is a complex equation involving the size and slope of your roof and the average maximum rainfall your area can expect. We recommend leaving the calculations to your gutter installation professional.

For the most part, you won’t go wrong with a 5-inch, K-style gutter. “A 5-inch gutter is pretty standard and will handle rainfall just about anywhere in Nigeria

Gutters come in all shapes, colors, and prices so you can easily find a match for your style of house and budget

SHAPES.
There are two basic types, and they’re referred to by the shape of their cross section. Both types come in 5- and 6-inch widths.

1.  K-style gutters have flat bottoms and backs, and the front side of the gutter usually has a decorative shape, it is also called ogee and many styles are available. The “k” in the name refers to the vague curve of the outer shape when viewed from the side. These types of ornate gutters are popular with modern homes because of the molding-like silhouette. Coming in all manner of colors and finishes, including aluminum, pvc, galvanized steel and copper, these stylish systems easily blend into the architectural details of a home


2.  Half-round gutters often are found on older, historic homes.The name for this gutter type isn’t hard to figure out, given the half rounded shape of the material itself. Half round gutters of today gained popularity in Europe as modern homes chose to adopt a period look similar to those used centuries ago. The main advantage to half round over k-style is the maneuverability of debris within the gutter itself, the symmetrically smooth interior of half round gutters are ideal for transporting runoff with ease. They are easier to clean and are less likely to corrode since water doesn’t have anywhere to collect.

Half round gutter systems hold less water than similarly sized k-style gutter systems, making them unappealing for homes in cities with heavy annual rainfall.


In general, K-style gutters have twice the capacity of their half-round gutter of the same width, and cost up to 50% more per linear foot. k-style gutter systems remain the industry standard because of the elegant shape resembling interior crown molding.

TYPES OF GUTTER

Gutters come in several sizes and shapes called profiles. The most common type of gutter used today is the open gutter, which comes in standard lengths.
Most residential gutters come in 5" and is made of either aluminum, steel, zinc, vinyl(PVC), or copper in a standard "K" style or Half round.

The typical 5 inch K-style gutter comes with 2 x 3 inch downspouts.

What is a rain gutter?

A rain gutter (from Latin gutta : drop), also known as a "rain catcher", is a narrow channel, or trough, forming the component of a roof system which collects and diverts rainwater away from the roof edge. It is also known as an eavestrough (especially in Canada), eaves channel, dripster, water collector (in Nigeria) or simply as a gutter.

Why rain gutters

1. Rain gutter protects a building's foundation by channeling water away from its base.
The gutter also helps to reduce erosion and prevents leaks in basements.

2. Gutters prevent damage to the landscaping
