This Greenwich, Conn., residence features approximately 1,000 feet (305 m) of gutters and downspouts from RHEINZINK America Inc., Woburn, Mass., to provide great looks and better drainage.
Unlike traditional gutter systems, RHEINZINK half-round gutters are supported from below with brackets rather than hung from above. Cradling a gutter from below is structurally preferred and helps provide a clear and uninterrupted waterway for cleaning and maintenance. The half-round shape also reduces the dependence on slope to move water compared to flat-bottom gutter designs.
Greenwich Specialties Inc., Greenwich, was the builder, and CT Roofing Reps Inc., East Berlin, Conn., was the distributor.
