fixing lugs, enabling easy power tool access and aiding in speeding up installation. All gutter fitting joints have integral seals and flexible retaining clips, allowing gutter lengths to simply click into place. No extra-cost fixing kits or nuts and bolts are required to make gutter joints, as with most traditional systems. To ensure rainwater systems can be designed
to meet a self-builder’s requirements, there are an expansive choice of options and gutter profiles available for both new build and refurbishments. From the domestic style of gutter to high capacity systems for larger scale projects, plastic rainwater systems are also compatible with existing cast iron systems and are designed to replicate original features, dimensions and detailing.
A range of options
There are three styles of domestic gutter (106 mm Profiled Ogee, 112 mm Half Round and, for larger or steeper roofs, a 115 mm Deep Profile) which utilise 68 mm round or 65 mm square downpipes. For larger scale projects there is a high capacity 160 mm roundstyle gutter with 105 mm round and 4” x 3” rectangular downpipe choice. The long-term performance of systems can be
protected relatively easily as, unlike cast iron, plas- tic systems are usually UV stabilised and not vul- nerable to rusting or corrosion. When a traditional aesthetic is a prerequisite,
the right drainage system can be the difference between design success and failure. As budgets are increasingly stretched and tight deadlines constrain product specification, self- builders need to be aware of products’ costs – in terms of both materials and labour. With a price
tag that fits modern construction and an appear- ance that blends the past with the present, plastic rainwater and soil systems fit the bill.
