Until recently, the growing popularity of houses with a uniform shape, in which the edge of the roofing seamlessly transforms into the façade, was a huge challenge for designers. This challenge resulted from the lack of availability of dedicated system solutions that would allow for simple, quick and effective implementation of such connections. As a result, this was particularly difficult in the case of classic roof structures with eaves.
However, we are writing about this in the past tense, because this problem has already been successfully solved – all thanks to the appearance of the innovative Galeco Roofgutter system. This system perfectly combines exceptional aesthetics with functionality and ease of installation. See how it has revolutionised the process of hiding guttering in pitched roof structures with eaves and why it is worth choosing it!
Unique aesthetics combined with full functionality and simplicity of assembly – this is how we can briefly characterise this extremely modern solution. Galeco Roofgutter is a response to contemporary trends related to the external appearance of single-family buildings. It is a 2-in-1 gutter system, which consists of integrated roofing and façade components (standing seam panels) and cleverly hidden roof gutters. Importantly, it is perfectly suitable for installation on both types of classic pitched roofs – without eaves or with eaves extensions.
Thanks to this, Galeco Roofgutter is a solution that meets all the needs of designers and at the same time those of the owners of single-family houses. The innovative nature of this system results both from a completely new approach to roof finishing, including roofs with traditional eaves extensions, as well as the materials from which its individual components are made.
The standing seam roof panels included in this solution are made of steel sheet, and their surface is protected by an ecological GreenCoat® Crown BT coating – its main component is rapeseed oil. The hidden gutters are a combination of steel with modern PVC material. Thanks to this, guttering is characterised by above-average durability, while maintaining a relatively low weight.
This, however, is only the beginning of the distinguishing features of this solution compared to competitive products. Galeco, the manufacturer of Roofgutter integrated systems, has made sure that they are long-lasting and virtually maintenance-free. The unique technological solutions used in these systems include:
All this makes a properly installed Roofgutter system extremely durable and long-lasting. It can be successfully used on buildings located even in regions that often experience very strong winds and intense precipitation.
A completely indisputable advantage of this solution is its aesthetics. The gutters are hidden, perfectly integrated into the roof covering, which in turn combines with the façade panels maintained in the same style. Thanks to this, a uniform structure of the building is created – even if a roof with eaves is used. In this way, a single-family house can look modern and its style can be fully in line with current trends in architecture.
Aesthetics is of course important, but because the Roofgutter is a 2-in-1 system, which includes guttering, the efficiency of its operation is also crucial. Galeco, the manufacturer of this solution, has made sure that the system achieves the maximum possible performance. Horizontal (hidden) gutters arranged symmetrically on both sides of the pitched roof effectively collect water even in the event of intense rainfall. Then they direct it to the downpipes that discharge water outside the building.
In terms of the practicality of the Galeco Roofgutter system, it is also worth noting that the manufacturer provides full CAD and BIM libraries for the product. This is very important for designers who, having access to this data, can easily adjust the installation parameters to the technical conditions of a particular building. This is also possible because the roof and façade panels are made to order. Their length can range from 0.5 to up to 6.5 meters.
It is a revolutionary technological solution that gives designers and project owners great opportunities to adjust the shapes of single-family houses to contemporary architectural trends. It is also worth choosing the Roofgutter integrated system due to the fact that its manufacturer, Galeco, produces it from the highest quality certified materials. This makes the use of the solution a very profitable investment – the system will maintain its full functionality, tightness and great aesthetics for as long as several decades! An additional benefit is the contribution to environmental protection, since a sustainable alternative is used to protect metal components instead of classic coatings.
