Downspouts
Choosing the right downspout for your home
TYPE 01
Galvanized Downspouts
⚙ Joints are welded together with solder for a strong, seamless connection.
🏗 Ideal for new construction and remodeling projects.
👷 Preferred by contractors who are typically working on new construction homes.
🎨 A great choice for those who don't mind painting — can be finished in any desired color.
💪 Features sturdier joints — better if the downspout needs to be removed or gets bumped into.
✔ Easy to paint over, so color matching is never an issue.
TYPE 02
Pre-Painted Downspouts
⚙ Joints are riveted and sealed with a caulking sealant for a finished look.
✨ Ideal for homeowners who don't want to paint and already have matching metal on their home.
⚠ Joints are more sensitive — use caution if the downspout is bumped or needs to be removed.
🎨 The sealant used at the joints may not be a perfect color match to the pre-painted metal.
🚿 Regular cleaning is highly recommended — a clogged pre-painted downspout can cause joints to leak due to the buildup of pressure if left unmaintained.
