Pre-hung gutters

The traditional variant of the gutter is the pre-hung gutter, which is produced in a semi-circular and square box shape. The classic and predominant gutter shape is the semi-circular gutter and it has lost none of its relevance to this day. Box gutters are increasingly being used for modern designs and simple styling. The proven and effective functionality of these gutters, in combination with a comprehensive range of accessories, makes them an all-rounder in roof drainage.

As a visible component of the roof and façade, a coordinated and consistent appearance is the decisive prerequisite for ensuring the aesthetics and an appealing overall impression of the house. The wide range of accessories from a single source ensures that the roof drainage system will function perfectly for decades.

Internal gutters

Internal gutters are often used when it is particularly important that the gutter is not visible from the ground. This means that the aesthetic aspect of the gutter itself recedes into the background, as the overall appearance is not influenced or emphasised by this roof drainage system. However, the demand for tightness and durability of this construction increases significantly. This is because leaks or repairs become particularly complex and expensive with internal gutters as a roof-integrated construction. The low temperature-related expansion of HFX stainless steel enables particularly long gutters without expansion compensation.

As a rule, these gutters are made as customised flashings and completed with box gutter accessories or the rainwater is drained in the insulation level or inside the building. The brazed gutters made of HFX stainless steel keep tight for decades without significant maintenance.

Rainwater harvesting

Nutzen Sie das Regenwasser

Every citizen uses an average of 130 litres of drinking water every day. Most of this is for purposes that would not require drinking water, such as watering the garden or flushing the toilet. The use of rainwater reduces this waste. HFX stainless steel from ROOFINOX is the perfect material to use rainwater, because HFX stainless steel:

  • is free from wash-off and ion erosion
  • does not contain plasticisers from paints and coatings
  • is food safe and food-safe
  • is a natural material
  • is not harmful to humans or the environment

 

Material compatibility and combinability

ROOFINOX roof drainage is also worry-free when it comes to interaction with other materials. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel naturally also works in this respect. Because whether bitumen, foil roof, green roof, slate, wood (also with low ph-value such as larch, oak, chestnut, cedar, Douglas fir), other metals, stone or glass – no problem! HFX stainless steel from ROOFINOX makes it worry-free.

Service and maintenance

All parts of the R.SYS complete system are made of HFX stainless steel, the strongest and most durable metal for roofs and facades. This rules out rusting, fading or pitting and makes the HFX stainless steel rain gutter the most durable roof drainage system. This makes the roof drainage system low-maintenance, but please do not forget to clear the drain sockets from time to time to prevent blockages.

 

Welded and deep-drawn version

Robustness and aesthetics do not have to be mutually exclusive. With ROOFINOX, this means high-quality workmanship and a perfectly coordinated system. This makes installation easier, reduces costs and extends the service life. Rebates are not opened or stretched by freezing water and the welded seam is the strongest connection that also allows for a discreet appearance. Because soldering, rebating, or multi-part components can look clunky, 3D forming of moulded parts allows the familiar elegance of R.SYS system components. Multi-part or soldered components are only used where it is technically impossible to do otherwise. This is another expression of our focus on appearance and durability.

Expansion

HFX stainless steel has the lowest expansion of the stainless construction metals. This means less ripple, no noise (cracking or crackling) and less stress on the structure. The low expansion also allows for longer coulters (over 30 m), gutters and fascias in one piece.

Joining techniques

Soldering (soft soldering) is a quick, reliable and simple method of making watertight and durable joints. All our roof drainage products can be soldered, allowing roof drainage without a shelf life. Alternatively, the connection can also be made using adhesive technology, for which we recommend our specially developed gutter adhesive.

 

Metal wash-off – ion removal and erosion.

ROOFINOX roof drainage is also the best choice from an ecological point of view. Durability, CO2 footprint and recycling clearly speak for themselves. Another decisive factor for roof drainage is that HFX stainless steel does not release any harmful metal, microplastics, plasticisers or nanoparticles, as happens with conventional materials due to continuous washing out of the gutters and pipes. This is because these pollutants end up in groundwater and wastewater and cause long-term damage to our soils and water supplies. By using a HFX stainless steel gutter, you enable the use of rainwater without hesitation and protect our water reserves.
