Drainage gutters and trays, drainage channels. Downspouts
Plastic drainage gutters - this is an effective option for arranging drainage sewers and drainage systems. They are used to divert meltwater and rainwater. For this purpose, they are laid in the ground 5 mm below the surface level, ensuring reliable water drainage. Drainage gutters can also be open type or equipped with drainage grids to prevent large debris from entering the drainage system and allow for vehicle passage.
The application area of plastic gutters is not limited, but they are most commonly used for collecting and diverting meltwater and rainwater in places where deep installation is not possible. Such objects include areas with medium and light loads, such as individual buildings, pedestrian areas, and civil construction areas. Shallow plastic rain gutters are also separately manufactured for use in objects with limited laying depth, such as terraces, balconies, and roofs that are in use.
Drainage gutters are made of frost-resistant polypropylene that is not affected by ultraviolet radiation. An important quality of such drainage systems is the structural strength and elasticity, sufficient to withstand huge loads.Characteristics:
- resistance to very high and low temperatures;
- ability to withstand significant loads;
- resistance to active chemical substances;
- light weight of gutters;
- improved drainage capacity;
- water-repellent characteristics.
When choosing gutters for a drainage or sewer system, the decision is based on their advantages:
- light weight for easier handling;
- durability;
- simplicity of installation;
- possibility to change channel size;
- smooth surface increasing drainage capacity;
- chemical resistance;
- universal holes for fastening when connecting to the sewer pipe;
- cost-effectiveness.
Due to the convenience and practicality of plastic drainage gutters, efforts are made to replace outdated constructions with them. Demolishing old concrete elements requires machinery, while installing new ones is done manually. The light weight allows for savings on loading/unloading and installation - all these tasks can be done manually.
An important advantage of plastic drainage channels and gutters is their environmental friendliness. Most of them are made of high-quality polyethylene and polypropylene that do not harm the environment.
