Types Of Hooks To Hold Gutters

When preparing the elements that we must include in an installation of a roof rainwater evacuation system, it is very important that we assess how we are going to fix the ducts. It may seem like an unimportant topic, but the truth is that it is essential since each construction has different requirements. That is why there is a wide variety of hooks on the market to hold gutters. Below you can find the most common fixing systems with a brief description so that you do not have any doubts about which model to choose in each case:

Eave hooks

These are the types of support that any professional guttering company in Langley Canada installs in buildings that have a roof overhang or eaves. These are horizontal pieces that are fixed below the cornice allowing the ducts to be anchored below the slope of the roof.

Supports to place vertically

Like the previous model, it is necessary when the rain gutters are fixed to an eave, in this case it is the hooks that join a rain collection system directly to the building façade. This is why they are also known as vertical hooks, as this is the direction they are mounted to support the weight of the ductwork in a gutter installation.

Tile fixing hooks

This variety of supports has the necessary elements to be placed directly on the edges of the tiles using a screw system. It is the most suitable for roofs in which the roof protrudes slightly over the facade without forming eaves.

Under-tile supports

When the rainwater evacuation system is installed at the same time that the cover is being placed, this is undoubtedly the most recommended system due to its safety. These are hooks that have an elongated part that is screwed to the roof below the deck so that it is fully integrated.

Gutter fixings for sheet metal

This gutter attachment option is designed specifically for sheet metal or sheet metal roofing. Although in reality, it is a system very similar to the fastening hooks for tiles adapted to these materials.
