RainTube
RainTube is very proud to have achieved a rare Gold Tier Cradle-To-Cradle Certification from MBDC.  Cradle to Cradle is the most important measurement standard for hyper-green products and companies. We are one of only 11 companies in the world to have a product achieving the Gold certification level. It places GLI Systems and RainTube in an undisputed leadership position at the highest echelons of the environmental products industry.

RainTube creates a closed system within the gutter that lets water through but keeps debris out. The patented RainTube material is pourous and fits snugly into the body of the gutter keeping debris high up out of the water where it can dry out quickly. Water flows in great volumes around and through the tube via thousands of tiny passageways. In most installations, RainTube "crowns" slightly above the top of the gutter creating a slippery aerodynamic surface that removes most debris with a natual breeze. Any remaining stubborn debris can be easily removed with a light brushing or blowing whenever the roof is maintained.

RainTube collects water as fast as an open gutter. In fact, RainTube collects water so fast that in a storm the bottom of the gutter is scrubbed clean as rain passes through. RainTube will not deteriorate and is virtually invisible when in place. Plus, it prevents snow and ice buildup in cold climates and can even be fitted with an an optional heating element.
