When heavy snow falls, it puts tremendous stress on the roofs of commercial properties. Due to the fact that these properties’ roofs are typically flat, they often struggle when faced with heavy snow accumulation. This can lead to ice dams, and, in some cases, water damage.
For this reason, high-end commercial gutters and scuppers are strongly recommended. These will ensure that the snow on your roof is draining properly, keeping your roof strong and healthy throughout the years.
We here at Chicago Metal Supply offer a variety of metal gutter and scupper options. Read below for more information!
Made Out of High-quality Steel
Our gutters and scuppers are made out of high-quality steel, allowing them to withstand even the harshest of winter conditions. Not only do they do a great job of resisting rust, but they’re also exceedingly strong, allowing them to accommodate large volumes of snow and water.
The aesthetic of steel is attractive as well, and it can add a unique look to your property. Available in a number of colors and styles, our metal gutters and scuppers are sure to match your commercial property.
A Number of Different Gutters to Choose From
Our gutters are available in a number of different types and styles. Some of our most popular options include the following:
Radius Gutters
If your roof is rounded, you would be best served by installing radius gutters. These curved gutters sit flush against rounded roofs, allowing them to catch and filter water without any loss or disturbance.
Box Gutters
Box gutters are squared off at the bottom, providing tremendous space for water to pass through. In terms of aesthetics, they can provide your property with a sense of strength and solidity.
Half Round Gutters
Half round gutters are rounded on their bottoms. This gives them a sleeker and smoother appearance. It also makes them easy to clean, helping to ensure that they’re cleared in time for the winter season. We carry copper and galvanized half round gutters, and we can special order Kynar coated steel.
K-style Gutters
K-style gutters look similar to box gutters, but they’re a little more dynamic in terms of their overall aesthetic. They’ll add a great deal of texture to any commercial property where they’re installed. Providing ample drainage space, they’ll have no problem draining the melted snow off your roof. We carry copper and galvanized k-style gutters, and we can special order Kynar coated steel.
A Variety of Scupper Boxes
If you have a flat roof on your property, it’s best to install scupper boxes as a means of transferring melted snow from your roof to your gutter system. Fortunately, we have a variety of high-end scupper boxes for you to choose from.
Not only do we supply a number of stock scupper boxes, but we also customize them as needed. Offering a wide range of color options, we’re sure to have something that fits your style. Give us a call to discuss your vision!
Snow Guards/Snow Retention Systems
Snow guards and snow retention systems are designed to prevent heavy snowfall from piling up on your roof and becoming dangerous. When installed correctly, they allow snow and ice to melt and slide off a roof in small amounts. In doing so, they eliminate the risk of snow falling off a roof all at once — similar to an avalanche — which could potentially cause injury and/or property damage. Our snow guards and snow retention systems are durable, easy to install, and come with a lifetime guarantee.
