THE MARKET Once our engineers had completed the product research and development a small team from Australia and one Canadian Engineer travelled in total almost 6500km around North America researching one potential market. The team spoke with many interested parties including builders, developers, property owners, councillors (council workers - in Canada they work for the town hall) etc. It became blindingly obvious...
SNOW & STORM GUTTERS ARE NEEDED Many homes have expensive landscaping, concrete paths and ground gutters to alleviate erosion as they have no roof guttering installed at all. Some simply have erosion problems and/or foundation damage. Others remove the gutters (eaves trough) for winter or hang the gutters so low on the fascia that any more than a trickle of rain will render them useless. And for many, what was a perfect gutter system is now broken or damaged, a very common and costly problem in North America. Some home owners even pay to heat the gutters... sure it keeps them working but won't protect them from a sliding snow pack or if the power fails.

A home in the snow. (no gutters)
A failed gutter.
Another failed gutter.
Even new homes had broken gutters. Numerous ideas have been used to attempt to alleviate this time old problem, gutter covers, snow fences, heaters and more. There are still thousands of gutters needing repair or replacement in North America and many already have one or more of the above "fixes".

The following emails are just a few
& indicate an immediate need.
Hi.
We live in Washington State USA and have a piece of property in the eastern portion of the state. The place is situated at roughly 1000 meters elevation on the leeward side of the “Cascade” mountain range, the land is arid, with pine and scrub brush abounding. I believe the average precipitation is less then a meter per year and most of that comes as snowfall. The property is remote, without power or other distributed utilities. We hope to fit the roof and cabin with a rainwater collection system. We have the storage part of the problem figured out but the gutters are the immediate concern.
We need to find a system that can stand up to moderate or heavy snowfall yet at the same time capture a good portion of the snowmelt and rainwater for our future use. I found your web site via an internet search for “Snow gutters” and they look interesting. The photos of the test house and surrounding area look similar to the type of conditions we deal with and well, I’m interested knowing if you sell your product here in the states? If so, could you email me the name of your distributor or additional information on the costs and how I might install this product? Mark and Mary Washington Do you sell the gutters in Canada or the US? If so where can I get them? Trevor BC Your guttering system looks very appealing. I am at 9000 ft in the San Juan range of the Rockies. We have just built a log home and I am looking for a system to deal with the thaw and to save to water also. Would you please send me your information so I can show it to my contractor and the pricing also. My address is 2281 Vickers Lane, Lake City, Colorado, 81235. My name is Brenda Rock. I would appreciate this as winter is coming. Thanks--- in advance. Brenda Rock Where can I find a distributor of your snow gutters. I live in southwest Colorado. Jim Smith I consider your product revolutionary. I live in snow country and there is a definite need for your gutter. Do you have a timeline of availability in Canada? I'm in need of a gutter and would rather put yours on than any other. Is it possible to get a quote in Australian dollars, for a 57 foot roofline? Thank you for your time & have a good day. Sincereley, Paul M Long Where in New York / New Jersey area can this product be purchased and what is cost per foot? Thanks for your time Pat Hello, I live in Maine. Do you have any dealers here in the US? M.E. Stanley Hi, We live on Mt. Mansfield in Vermont. We would like more information about where to obtain your snow gutters. We are having a metal roof installed this summer. Getting the gutters on at the same time would be nice. Water conservation up here is important to us as well. Thank you for your assistance. We hope this is the answer to our dilemma. Kate Salerno I would like to purchase your snow gutters, if such is possible. I have a double A-frame or an A frame with a wing. When it rains or snows, excessive water accumulates at the right angle intersections of the structure. I am high in the Pocono mountains and the winter snow can be severe, snow accumulating to 5-7 feet. I am on the downside of a slope. I know that any conventional gutter will not withstand the snow slides from the roof, as they are massive and of great force. Is there any way you can ship the gutters from Australia if I can give you the measurements? Bob Bunch Dear Sirs
I am interested in trying out your snow gutters in my lake Tahoe house in California. Do you have out lets in California? or do you sell direct ,if so what is the price? Regards Ray Casso Well hello down there,
I found your snow gutter and it is very interesting. I’ve spent nearly all my adult life in the gutter business and I think I’ve seen just about everything in the gutter business. I am the president of the “American Association of Rain Carrying Systems Installation Specialist” We have our national convention in Orlando in late July early August. I have a large rain gutter business in West Michigan. I am on the road this year representing many manufacturers with products for the rain gutter industry I would like a sample of your product sent so that might see if there may be some opportunity for us to do some business if you are looking for someone like me. Tony Hello,
Regards,
