    Hi Greg, you bet! Cool looking right??? We had the pleasure of being able to specify several contemporary industrial, design details for this client...big fun!

    So.... the gutters are a 6 inch, galvanized steel gutter with a half round profile--26 gauge, reverse, single bead. "Galvanized" means that zinc is applied over the steel as a hot-dipped coating and it provides a well protected, low maintenance product. Additionally, each joint is hand soldered (instead of caulked like aluminum gutters) which makes for an extremely strong joint. Since joints are where gutters typically fail this is a plus! I believe we used 20 ft.lengths to limit the number of seams and I think the manufacturer was Berger. Hangers are 6 inch, galvanized steel, circle half round hangers with spring clips and bolts. Galvanized steel is an excellent solution for Northern climates like ours, especially with our snow and
    ice conditions! It is still more reasonably priced than copper and it contracts about 50% less than aluminum putting less stress on the seams over the long haul. I hope that helps! Deb :)
