Uiuiui These downpipes really ruin the look

I thought the same, but if there are windows at the corners, it can't be helped...

Uiuiui
These downpipes really ruin the look

The downpipes could have been hidden inside the wall. That’s what we did; nowhere on the house can a downpipe be seen, but it’s technically more complex (also due to frost protection, etc.). The simplest alternative for me in this case would be the classic chains instead of a downpipe, each running down outside at the corners into the ground. As it is now, the downpipes dominate and distract from the effect of the expensive corner windows.

I really like the Scanhaus Marlow Marlow by seat88. The Scan houses all seem to have these protruding downpipes, probably because it's cheaper. I checked his old thread, and despite all the warnings, his house is standing, a bit smaller than perhaps hoped, but nice; I also think the layout is successful inside.

The downpipes are due to the roof overhang of 1.4m

The roof over the dormers seems extremely flat. At single-digit angles, the tile is technically challenged regarding wind load and water drainage. You may have therefore received a metal roof.

Yes, it is very flat. I had also read about the wind load, but what do you say about the concerns regarding noise during rain?

...but what do you say about the concerns regarding noise during rain?

It will be louder than a tiled roof but not bad. The pattering rain is not aircraft noise, but rather a quite natural sound. We can handle that stress-free as long as we don't fixate on it.
