Zinc 5" Gutter System

Built for long-term performance and clean architectural style, the 5" Zinc Half-Round Gutter System offers a low-maintenance solution with a sleek, modern finish. Manufactured by Zambelli in Germany, each component is precision-formed for tight, consistent fits that simplify installation and reduce the risk of leaks.

Zinc gutters are naturally corrosion-resistant and develop a protective patina over time, eliminating the need for painting or coating. The 5" profile is ideal for standard residential roofs and pairs with 3" or 4" round downspouts, depending on drainage needs. This system combines Zambelli’s engineering expertise with the quiet confidence of a material that’s made to last for decades.

Zinc 5" Gutter System FAQ

Why choose zinc over copper or aluminum?

Zinc offers the durability of copper at a lower price point, with a natural patina that protects the material from corrosion. It also requires virtually no maintenance, making it a smart long-term investment for homeowners who want performance and a clean look without ongoing upkeep.

Who manufactures this zinc gutter system?

All of our zinc gutter components are made by Zambelli, a German manufacturer known for high-precision metalwork. Zambelli has been producing rainwater systems for over 50 years and is recognized across Europe and North America for quality and reliability.

What downspout sizes work with the 5" zinc gutter?

This system is compatible with both 3" and 4" round zinc downspouts. For average residential roofs, 3" is typically sufficient. For larger roof areas or areas with heavy rainfall, 4" downspouts are recommended.

Will the zinc gutters change color over time?

Yes. Zinc naturally develops a matte gray patina as it weathers. This process protects the gutter material from corrosion and gives it a uniform, soft appearance. Unlike aluminum or painted steel, zinc doesn’t chip or peel—it ages naturally and evenly.
