Rain Chains: A Stylish Alternative to Downspouts

Rain chains are a beautiful and functional alternative to traditional downspouts.

They guide rainwater from the gutter system to the ground along chains, cups or other designs, which creates an aesthetically pleasing effect.

Rain chains transform a plain downspout into a pleasing water feature, creating beautiful curb appeal for your outdoor space.

Like downspouts, rain chains prevent water from just falling out of a hole in your gutters and onto the ground, which can cause erosion and splashing.

Instead, they break the water flow and create a softer, more streamlined landing.

Conductor Heads

A conductor head is installed on to a downspout

towards the top of the eave. They are an

architectural accent and can really add a touch of

class to a gutter system.

Conductor heads are known by many other names,

such as leader heads, collector heads, collector

boxes, rainwater heads, rain collectors, and

scupper boxes.

Conductor heads can be used for

functional purposes such as making cleaning easier

and allowing multiple downspouts to connect into

one location.

But their primary purpose is all about aesthetics. For instance, copper leader heads are known for being on historic buildings because they have an elegant and classic look.

Many types and styles of conductor heads are available on the market today.

They are made from various materials such as copper, zinc, steel, and aluminum and come in various designs, colors, and sizes.

Rain Barrels

A rain barrel is a container that captures rain

water from rooftops.

Rain barrels come in different

shapes and sizes, but they all do the same thing:

save water and decrease storm water runoff.

Rain barrels sit beneath a building's downspout to collect water from the roof during each rain event.
