Commercial Gutters For Your Springfield Business
Glennstone Roofing wants your business to be protected from water damage, whether it’s up at the eaves or down in the drainage system. Our most popular commercial gutter installation uses a 6-inch seamless-style gutter, which provides a pleasing appearance and efficient draining. Our team in Springfield offers an installation that lasts – this means a satisfactory and sturdy gutter for many years to come. Our commercial gutters are pitched to drain, so there is no standing water.
Commercial Gutter Size
Gutters can be manufactured in a variety of sizes but commonly come in 5-inch and 6-inch widths. The 5-inch size is most frequently used in residential applications. Commercial buildings typically have a larger roof area, and the extra runoff requires the wider 6-inch gutter.
A small commercial building could use a smaller gutter, but the water volume is an important consideration. The larger gutter size will provide the additional durability needed for commercial applications. The downspout size is also a factor – 5-inch gutters normally use 2- by 3-inch downspouts, while 6-inch systems use 3- by 4-inch downspouts. Adaptations can be made.
Code Requirements
Codes vary by location, but due to the size of commercial buildings, gutter systems in Springfield are usually covered under local building regulations. These requirements normally involve the size and material of the gutter used. Many areas also place restrictions on where the runoff is directed to reduce flooding to nearby buildings or sewer systems.
