When it comes to roof edge drainage, performance truly matters. That’s why contractors, architects, and project managers across the country consistently choose Nordic Steel Gutters. These systems stand out not only for their beautiful European design but also for their durability, precision engineering, and ease of installation. Whether you’re planning a luxury residential build or a high-performance commercial project, Nordic consistently delivers reliable results.
Engineered to Exceed Building Standards
Nordic Steel Gutters meet and surpass international and U.S. construction standards. These include:
- ASTM A924/A924M – Requirements for metallic-coated steel
- ASTM A370 – Mechanical testing of steel products
- ASTM A635/A635M – Specifications for heavy-thickness steel sheets
- ES-1 Wind Testing – Qualification for high-wind metal products
- SMACNA – Compliance with the Architectural Sheet Metal Manual
With these certifications, you can be confident your installation is code-compliant and structurally sound.
Why Steel Makes the Difference
Unlike vinyl or aluminum gutters, Nordic uses 23-gauge G-90 galvanized steel. This material offers superior resistance to dents, sagging, and thermal expansion. Additionally, each component features a multi-layer protection system:
- Galvanized steel core
- Passivation coating
- Primer base layer
- GreenCoat® UV-resistant topcoat made from canola oil
These protective layers work together to ensure long-term durability and excellent weather resistance.
Specifications for Professional Results
Nordic’s half-round gutter system is engineered for streamlined installation and consistent performance:
- 10-foot half-round gutter sections
- Round downspouts for optimal flow
- Factory-sealed EPDM connectors and end caps
- Gutter hangers (5mm thick, 25mm wide) chosen by the architect
- Friction-fit downspouts—no visible screws
- Ribbed elbow at foot for added stability
This thoughtful design combines form and function to deliver exceptional results.
Fabrication for Long-Term Performance
Nordic’s components are manufactured to simplify your job and ensure lasting quality:
- Miters are stamped from a single piece of steel
- Minimum thickness of 0.6mm for gutters and downspouts
- Recommended slope: 1 inch per 32 feet for optimal drainage
- Cut using a hacksaw or low-frequency tool
Important: Never use high-speed grinders or open flames to cut steel.
Professional Installation Tips
To achieve the best installation outcome:
- Inspect the substrate and layout before starting
- Align downspouts according to design plans
- Use the longest possible gutter runs
- Ensure all joints are sealed properly to prevent leaks
Following these steps will help maximize longevity and system functionality.
