Without a gutter system, the foundation, walls, and driveway are damaged by water streams flowing off the roof. A properly calculated and installed gutter system redirects tons of precipitation, protects the facade from dirt and moisture, and prevents basement flooding. Foreest installs plastic and metal gutters in Kyiv and the Kyiv region.
Gutter System Components
- Gutters — collect water from the slope and direct it to the funnel
- End caps — close the ends of gutters
- Funnels — receive water from the gutter and transfer to the pipe
- Pipes — divert water away from the facade to the ground
- Elbows — change pipe direction
- Brackets and holders — secure gutters
- Splash guards and snow stops on downpipes — optional
Types of Gutter Systems
Plastic Gutters
- Lightweight, affordable, easy installation
- Wide color palette
- Resistant to corrosion
- Less frost-resistant
Metal Gutters
- High strength and durability (30–50 years)
- Quieter during rain
- Frost and fire resistant
- Matched to roofing color

FAQ
What is the difference between plastic and metal gutters?
Plastic — cheaper, lighter, but less frost-resistant. Metal — stronger, longer-lasting, quieter. For permanent residence, we recommend metal.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
At least twice a year — in spring and autumn. Clogged gutters cause water overflow and facade damage.
How many funnels are needed per roof?
One funnel per every 8–10 m of gutter. For slope length over 12 m, install two funnels from both sides.
