Japanese Rain Chains

Do you have a beautiful home marred by ugly downspouts? You're not alone. Many people are opting to use rain chase in place of the traditional downspouts to effectively channel water away from their foundation while preserving the beauty of their house facade. Your new gutter installation Bronx can include rain chains in lieu of gutters. Alternatively, you may opt to replace your existing downspout with a rain chain.

You may have noticed them and wondered about how they work. Rain chains are hung from the cornerof your roof in place of your downpout. They are hung from the corners of your roof or canale to guide the flow of water into large barrels to catch the water from the roof for household purposes and gardening. They can also be designed to lead the water away from your foundation into rocky swale or catch basin. Rain chains do exactly what downspouts do, but they do it in a way that is attractive and allows you to see the rain as it swooshes down the chain. Copper rain chains develop a rich blue-green patina.

The other benefit of rainchains is that they can be installed quickly by your gutter installer Queens in a short time period and can be integrated with your existing gutter system Bronx.

You can use chains that can be purchased at a local hardware store or you can talk to your gutter installer Bronx to see if they have access to custom designed chains. For extra artistic appeal, you may choose to put a ceramic or stoneware pot beneath the chain - use one that has good drainage at the bottom.
