Rainwater systems - an indispensable attribute of "respectable" roof

Roof is considered one of the most important parts of the building, so its protection from waterlogging and various injuries - a serious problem that requires a reliable and durable solutions. To preserve the quality and aesthetic properties of roofing, facade and foundation construction using rainwater systems whose main function .- timely removal of excess water from the roof surface, which helps extend its lifetime.

Variants

Without the device the roof drainage systems can not be considered complete, but this is usually remember the last thing. Moreover, during the purchase gutter system Ukrainian consumers "vote" only in money, not particularly straining a comparative analysis of advantages and disadvantages of different types of products. Arguments about the quality and long-term protection of their homes without compromising price today has triggered weak.

Today on the Ukrainian market there are various options for drainage structures: the traditional tin, zinc, metal and plastic.

In recent years, both in Europe and in Ukraine widespread system of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). They have attracted the attention of consumers with affordable prices, ease and simplicity of installation. One of the main advantages of plastic guttering is that they absolutely do not corrode (especially true for regions with a large number of cycles of freezing and thawing). Ice, twigs, cones or other random debris that hit the pipe during a violent wind, often damages the protective coating of metal gutters and creates pockets of rust, which lead to premature discharges from the system.

Another important factor in choosing the appropriate drainage system - the aesthetics of appearance. Striving to a high level of quality and design of modern buildings dictates the degree of attractiveness of additional functional enhancements. Like other details of the "cover" gutter, in addition to utilitarian function, should please the eye and fits into the overall architectural pattern. The contour of the details of guttering bright surrounds the entire building and make a complete and harmonious whole structure.

Studying the price positions in various sales representatives need to pay attention to the dimensions of constituents - certainly more narrow tube will be cheaper, but it can not cope, for example, a sudden downpour or sudden thaw. Of course, to insure themselves at once from all the elements, hurricanes and other adverse weather conditions is impossible, so you need to choose some "middle ground". Universal formulas are not available, but the selection of optimal variant of a drain and should take into account the corresponding area of the object and purpose of its size and shape of individual components of the system.
