Are you looking for alternative to traditional gutters to way to keep rainwater away from your house ?

One option is called Rainhandler. Its unique louvered design disperses rainwater away from your home in a two to three foot wide band that gently sprinkles the landscape.

It’s made of rust proof aluminum that comes in three different colors and it has a 25- year guarantee. Plus, it’s easy to install. And it’s simpler than a traditional gutter system that comes with more detailed install requirements.

Traditional Gutters
Gutter systems were created to capture rainwater runoff from the roof of your house and carry it away from your foundation. Traditional guttering systems require a lot of maintenance.

First of all, gutters are difficult and sometimes dangerous to clean and maintain. You have to climb up on a ladder and clean out the gutter which can be dangerous. And, depending on the amount of trees you have near your house, you may have to do this a few times a year.

Also, in colder climates, gutters capture snow and ice which can lead to the formation of ice dams. The weight of these dams could damage the gutters.

Rainhandler is an alternative to traditional gutters. This system maintains itself. In the rare event that something were to get caught, use your garden hose and a spray nozzle to dislodge the object, no climbing on ladders!

In addition, Rainhandler protects your home by dispersing water away from the foundation of your house. Water too close to your house can cause damage to your foundation and lead to costly repairs. This product helps by using its louvered design to direct water a safe distance away from your home.

To determine how much product you’ll need, simply measure the total length of the drip edge on your home and divide by 5 feet. That’s because each section of product comes in 5 foot sections. For example, if you have a total measurement of 62 and a half feet, round up to the next five foot increment.

Installation

Tools and accessories you’ll need for this project:
*Phillips screwdriver
*Hammer
*Nail (6D common, 2” long)
*Tin snips or sheet metal shears
*Pencil
*Tape measure
*Ladder

The panels fits into brackets that are mounted to the fascia board of the roof. To mount the brackets, measure out from the drip edge at 10 inches, 30 inches and 50 inches and mark it.
Hammer the nail slightly into the mark on each bracket site as a pre-drill for the mounting screw.
Attach the brackets; each one takes two screws.
Once the brackets are in, take the five foot long section and slide the second slat of the louvered unit into the locking tabs on the bracket and snap it in place.
Repeat these steps around the house.
Eventually, depending on the design of your house, you will have a section that is too long to fit.
But that’s OK, measure the correct length that you need, and use the tin snips or sheet metal shears to cut the excess amount off the section.
It’s really that easy.

Rainhandler also has other mounting brackets and product selections for different types of roof designs.
