bigedsenior Dec 11, 2012:
I was curious about gutters having insulation - here is an example. The purpose is to prevent heat loss from the building below it.

gutters

Wikipedia: A rain gutter is a narrow channel, or trough, forming the component of a roof system which collects and diverts rainwater shed by the roof. It is also known as an eavestrough (especially in Canada), eaves channel[1] guttering or simply as a gutter.

in Spanish

El canalón es un conducto que recibe y conduce el agua de los tejados a la red de recogida de aguas pluviales; normalmente se instala en el borde del alero, en la parte inferior de los tejados, aunque tambien existe desde hace poco el canalón lateral de hastial, que se instala en hastiales o zonas laterales para recoger el goteo/chorreo de las tejas laterales o remates.

Thank you!
agree Charles Davis : I think they're just the gutters. Drainpipes are called "bajantes", at least in Spain.

neutral Peter Guest : and canalones, which are tubes, as gutters are not

I was slightly doubtful about the description (interior/exterior does sound like a pipe)I don't think you would lag a drainpipe with fiberglass. Thanks anyway!
agree Sergio Campo : right. Canalones are not tubes. They are open section "channels" (hence canalones). Like these: http://www.canalondecor.com/03-canalon-DECOR-canalones-en-co...

If they are vertical pipes, they ar eknown as drainpies.
Gutters collect the water flowing from a sloping roof, draipies channel it down to the drains.
