Box gutter installation is the process of fitting a specialized drainage system that collects and diverts rainwater from the roof into a concealed channel. This type of gutter is typically installed in commercial and residential buildings with flat or low-sloping roofs. Box gutter installation ensures efficient water management, preventing water damage to the structure and foundation of the building. By securely channeling rainwater away from the roof, box gutters help to maintain the integrity and longevity of the property. Professional installation is crucial to ensure proper functionality and to avoid potential issues such as leaks or overflow.
