Decorative Leaderheads
An ornamental water flow remedy for Endless scenarios
A leaderhead is a device used in roof drainage to capture storm water runoff from the rain guttering of a building. Generally speaking, such a device is known as either a leader head, collector box, or a conductor head within the fields of Architecture, Building Design and Construction. Leaderheads are commonly made from sheet metal in the form of a box of varying shape and size which is open at the top and has one or more outlets to which downspouts are attached.
When to use a leaderhead
Leaderheads can be used to catch a roof scupper or drain, connect two or more downspout lines together, or give a decorative feature to the downspout. There are numerous design options to compliment any style of architecture. Many customers choose to use a leaderhead as a decorative feature on their home. The leaderhead can add architectural design to the downspout creating a much desired look.
While leaderheads primarily offer aesthetic benefits, they also serve functional purposes by improving drainage capacity, preventing blockages, and facilitating maintenance. Their installation can enhance the overall efficiency and longevity of your rain gutter system while adding a touch of architectural elegance to your home.
