HOW IT WORKS

Roof rain collects in box-shaped gutters attached to roof; water drains off through downspouts attached to front of building.

Downspouts and leaders typically deposit all roof water in a few locations, close to the home.  


HOW IT WORKS


RainhandleR attaches to bottom of fascia board     about six inches or more below roof; no downspouts.  Roof rain hits Rainhandler disperser consisting of seven 3/4-inch aluminum louvers.

Roof rain breaks into droplets, dispersing over a three foot band, uniformly spread around the home.  

MAINTENANCE

Overflowing gutters and downspouts cause trenching and erosion.

Clog with debris such as leaves; clean-out of all gutters and downspouts to remove leaves and debris up to six times per year.  Choke with ice in winter.

Annual maintenance to fix leaks, seal joints, replace corroded parts, re-set brackets.

Clogging results in overflow, causing mildew and rot of fascia board, black stains on front of gutters.  Ice dams cause water leakage into attic and first floor ceiling.
 

MAINTENANCE-FREE

Never overflow, no trenching.

Will not clog, will not ice-up; clean easily with a garden hose.  No climbing required.  Each 5-ft. section will hold 80-plus pounds. 

Maintenance free.

     25-year warranty.

 

No clogging - no damage to fascia board, or other parts of home. Cannot cause ice dams. Warranted against winter damage to Rainhandler.
 

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Stagnant water pools in clogged or improperly sloped gutters create breeding grounds for insects.

Collect beneficial rain water and saturate only small areas of lawn.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Up to 100% of beneficial rain water is delivered to lawn and shrubs.

Greatly reduces problem of overloading city storm drain systems with roof run-off.  
 

AESTHETICS

At best, cumbersome, detract from look of house; gutters in need of repair can be an eyesore.

Custom builders never add gutters until after home is sold.

AESTHETICS

Nearly invisible, does not detract from architectural integrity.  Complements any architectural style.  Added resale value.

Solar Attic Fan Residential Unit Estimator

The charts below should be used as a general guideline for how many Solar Attic Fans are needed for residential installations based on square footage and roof pitch. Several factors can effect the amount of attic ventilation needed. Variables such as vaulted ceilings, amount of existing static venting (soffit, ridge, gable), attic shape, pitch and obstructions must all be taken into account when calculating the amount of attic venting needed.

           BLOWN IN ATTIC INSULATION

 

    

 

 

 

Your Home's Insulation.

Checking your home's insulation is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to use a whole-house approach to reduce energy waste and make the most of your energy dollars. A good insulating system includes a combination of products and construction techniques that protect a home from outside hot or cold temperatures, protect it against air leaks and control moisture.

The Attic's Insulation.

One of the areas of the house that you need to consider insulating is the attic. The attic is one of the largest sources of potential energy loss in a home and often one of the most neglected areas when it comes to insulation, especially in older homes. That's why adequate insulation is so important because it could make your energy bills significantly higher and your home extremely uncorfortable.

The good thing about insulating the attic is that it is an inexpensive procedure; materials for doing it can be found in specialized shops. Although the technique is also quite simple, attic insulation can be done better by professional contractors. Their help is needed especially because an attic is passed by ducts and vents and the trained workers will do the best job to avoid them. It is advisable to ask for a specialized contractor advice when insulating any home structure, including an attic.

Whether your attic is and will remain unfinished, be used for storage, or be finished for use as living space, make sure that it is properly insulated with the right amount and kind of insulation.
