Gutter Glossary
Here are some terms you should consider when reading an estimate from a contractor.
Downpipe
A pipe that carries rainwater from a roof gutter to a drain or soil.
Drip-Edge Extension
Prevents water from washing over the fascia eventually causing it to rot. If your fascia boards have black stripes on them, which generally means that the drip edge is failing and the contractor may suggest adding an extension for an additional charge.
Fascia Angle
If there is any fascia board that is angled to follow the rafters, usually an extra charge.
Fascia Board
The flat horizontal surface right below the edge of a roof.
Fascia replacement
New Sewers need a solid surface on which the fascia to be mounted. If rotten boards need to be replaced, there is a charge per meter. Fascia boards narrower than 3 "wide must be constructed to provide adequate support to hang their new channels require an additional charge per meter.
Gauge
The thickness or width of the gutter is very important. Primary aluminum is the thickest and most consistent. The gauges range from .019 to .032 inches. The optimum thickness is 032 inches for the purchase of aluminum gutters, insist on primary aluminum, which is the best.
Mitres (corners)
When one company makes the corners on site using the same material as the rest of the house, the advantage is that there is a seam instead of 3 and is a cleaner overall look.
Run Height
The height (in stories) in which each channel race will be located (1st story, history, etc. 2nd). This is used to determine the length of down pipe required.
Run Length
A straight section of gutter mounted against of the fascia. It is measured in meters, which measures the same as regular feet.
Seamless Gutter Machine
The material chosen is rolled through the stream training of the machine to create a continuous piece of gutter that is custom sized to your home.

The World Market for Ceramic Pipes, Conduits, Guttering, and Pipe Fittings $325 This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for ceramic pipes, conduits, guttering, and pipe fittings. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for ceramic pipes, conduits, guttering, and pipe fittings for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. |
