If you are a contractor, builder or an architect, you may be familiar with the light gauge gutters and downspouts that you can find at a big box store. Those may work fine for a small home project. 

However, continuous, commercial-grade gutters, like the ones manufactured by Metal Panel Systems, are custom fabricated right here in Cincinnati from one continuous piece of 24 gauge steel. They’re crafted to the exact measurements of your roof – meaning easier installation, less seams, less leaks, and higher performance. 

Hear directly from our President at Metal Panel Systems, Ben Mackie, on why these commercial grade products from Metal Panel Systems are essential to consider for your next project:

Whether you are building or renovating a commercial or residential property, continuous gutters and downspouts can increase the quality, dependability and esthetics of your project. Here are three reasons to consider using this quality product on your next project.

1. Reducing Risk of Water Damage

The first reason to consider commercial-grade, continuous gutters and downspouts is to reduce the risk of water damage. Water infiltration can cause costly structural issues, landscape erosion and interior damage.   So, you want to get that water off of and away from your building as quickly as possible.  A 3×4 Corrugated downspout will sufficiently handle 4,400 sf of roof area. A 4×5 handles 8,400 sf.  Compare that to a big box store 2×3, which will only handle 1,800sf. 

2. Fewer Clogs & Blockages

Because these products are made from one continuous piece of steel, there are fewer seams and joints, meaning less snag points for debris to get hung up on. If you combine a high quality product like this with a great gutter guard, you’re going to experience significantly fewer clogs and blockages, which again can cause costly damages.

3. Improved Esthetics

Finally, they just look better. The commercial grade materials and finishes and continuous lengths allow for better esthetics, longevity and integrity. And because of our wide range of options for factory-applied colors here at MPS, you can match the color palette on your product and increase your curb appeal. 

So whether you’ve never worked with MPS or you’ve been a long-time customer, think of us on your next project and work with a team you can count on that’s right here in your backyard. 

At Metal Panel Systems, we are proud to deliver a high-quality product quickly and efficiently while providing customer service that always treats you with respect and care.
