An assembly for covering a gutter is disclosed which comprises a mounting member for attachment to a fascia or rafter or the like (10; 100) and a cover member (50) for covering and enclosing a gutter. The mounting member provides upper (22; 120) and lower (34;117) engagement means for engagement with corresponding engagement means (58, 62) defined in ends of the cover member. The engagement means of the mounting member include at least one gap or a space defined between two spaced walls for receiving a generally v-shaped end of the cover and at least one of the walls defines a flange/stop for engaging with the end of the cover for retaining the end of the cover between the walls. The cover will typically be formed from a material such as rolled steel, which may be coated painted or otherwise treated so as to be rust-resistant. The engagement means for the cover will typically be a generally v-shaped bend in one end of the over which engages in the slot by compression of the sides of the v together then expansion to engage in the gap/space. The bracket (10) may be generally planar and attach to a fascia board of a roof defining apertures for receiving fasteners in its front face for attachment to the fascia board. Alternatively the bracket (110) may define an attachment plate oriented at an angle of about 90 to the front face of the bracket for attachment directly to rafter, thus obviating the need for a fascia board.

The present disclosure relates to a rainwater filter, including a perforated panel, a filter plate mounted on a top surface of the perforated panel, and at least two elastic support strips mounted on a bottom surface of the perforated panel. One ends of the elastic support strips protrude outwards from the bottom surface of the perforated panel. With the structure described above, the rainwater filter can be mounted conveniently based on the characteristics of the elastic support strips, without being fixed with screws or rivets. The rainwater filter can be dismounted conveniently in case of excessive accumulation of debris or blockage, is convenient to clean and maintain, and serves to protect a drainage gutter.

A gutter expansion joint includes a first metal sheet, a second metal sheet and a roof membrane strip. A thermoplastic polyolefin coating is applied to one side of the first and second metal sheets. A first end of the roof membrane strip overlaps the first metal sheet and is secured to the first metal. A second end of the roof membrane strip overlaps the second metal sheet and is secured to the second metal sheet. The first metal sheet, the roof membrane strip and the second metal sheet are bent to be received by an inner perimeter of two adjacent gutters. A bead of non-curing sealant is applied to an inside surface of the two adjacent gutters, before insertion of the gutter expansion joint. A gutter expansion joint cover is attached to an outside perimeter of the two adjacent gutters.

A connector arrangement for a flashing assembly for use in a roof window arrangement is disclosed. It comprises a base connector element, an elevation element and a top connector element. Both connector elements have a gutter in their exterior side, and the gutter is open at one end so that water can drain out of it. An attachment section on the interior side of the base connector element is configured for being attached to a bracket used for connecting a roof window to a load-bearing structure, and the elevation element supports the top connector element so that it is positioned above the base connector element. In the mounted state the second end of the top connector element is arranged above the gutter of the base connector element and their length directions extend substantially in parallel to each other. A method for weather proofing a roof window arrangement is also disclosed.

A rain gutter system comprises a covered rain gutter and a mounting bracket in the interior of the covered rain gutter for mounting the covered rain gutter to a structure. The covered rain gutter includes a trough portion and a cover portion with the trough portion including a lip and the cover portion including a nose configured to direct rainwater to flow toward the interior of the covered rain gutter. The mounting bracket includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a central portion interconnecting the top and bottom portions. The top portion of the bracket can contact and support the cover portion. The bottom portion of the bracket can contact the lip of the trough portion, support the trough portion, and maintain separation between the nose and the lip of the covered rain gutter.

A universal gutter hanger assembly includes a hanger body having a front end and a back end. A front attachment feature at the front end of the hanger body is configured to engage with a front end of the gutter. A back attachment feature at the back end is configured to engage with a back end of the gutter. The back attachment includes a clip extending upwardly from the back end and configured to engage with gutters having various configurations of back ends. In some examples, the hanger body includes an arcuate-shaped bottom surface that extends from the front end to the back end.
