Metal gutters : quality, time-tested

advantages of metal gutters roof

collection and drainage systems stormwater in urban homes accounted for engineers already in the design phase of the building.As far as they are good remains to be seen, but the inhabitants of the houses Stalinist, Khrushchev and later buildings have to put up with those communications, which are incorporated into the project.

Free summer visitor, the owner of his own country house gutters can choose at its discretion.

Before installation of metal gutters roof to discuss their practical necessity.Let's say you have decided to change the old roof, changed the drainage system on the site, and bring rain and snowmelt runoff forgotten.The result is obvious: the flooding and waterlogging even surrounding area, mosquitoes and other pleasures of life in the bog.Metal gutters roof is intact solve this problem at the expense of one-two:

• mechanical strength of diverters and joints of structural elements is comparable with the details of technological pipelines;
• resistance to changes in climatic conditions (in Russia from -40 to + 40 degrees - it's not even a jump), which allows to maintain the geometry and the tightness of the finished assembly;
• certain plasticity of metal gutters roof to external deformation;in cases where the plastic will crack from successfully abandoned child stone, metal, demonstrate a simple dent;
• guaranteed corrosion protection of all surfaces and prefabricated elements;double-sided polymer coating, for example, applied by AquAsystem (aquatic systems) allows you to operate after the installation of a metal drain for 50 years;
• design component: many manufacturers deliberately release a whole line of its products in different colors: the functionality can be discussed separately, but the overall aesthetics of your roof should be at.

Design and installation of metal gutter roof

Do not be afraid of the first two words in the title, because in practice, for the usual holiday home is enough to make a few very simple operations.You can do it with your hands, but practice shows that the involvement of professionals in the end is cheaper in terms of money and time spent.What can be done independently for installation of metal gutter roof:

• pick up a tape measure and measure carefully all diverting rays of your roof (these are the places where rain and melt water flows down to the ground);
• identify places the output of sewage in drainage wells, or accustomed to our gardeners storage barrels (statistics show that the majority of Russian citizens spend the summer it is on their garden plots);
• then begins the work for the family members who have technical education: draw up draft project and select fittings.

Honestly, it's a tough business, and clearly define what amount the following details during installation, you will need a metal gutter, and what will be the price, can only master roofing Affairs.You probably will need:

• Leader in diameter from 90 to 125 mm on the entire perimeter;
• gutters funnels for all stationary drain outputs;
• downspout, which sits on the funnel and provides water drainage;in a sense, the final element of the installation of the metal gutter;
• connectors as waste should be leak-proof system;
• angular elements of external and external, of the tribe of 45, 60 or 72 degrees, which is determined by the geometry of your home;
• plugs, fixing hooks, pipe bends.

If you are ready for such a fascinating technical calculations, the price of installation of your metal drain can be reduced by almost a third.However, in this way an insurmountable obstacle for the economy becomes our natural hoarders: take more grooves, attaching will do more often, too, will not spare screws.

metal gutter: price

material is high time to evaluate the structure of which we spoke.Take for example the most advanced (Pural coating) products and see their economic component:

• Leader (semi-diameter of 90/125 mm) length 3m - 823 rub .;
• meter pipe of the same section - 405;
• output funnel flow -355;
• angular elements from 870 to 1300;
• pipe bends in different versions 350 -1350 rubles.

As you can see, the price of metal gutters for a country house is quite high, and at the stage of the purchase of materials, installation will add to the final cost of the engineering system about the same financial resources.But the choice in favor of the metal is usually done by people and extensive household who were convinced that it is necessary to be thorough, best for ages.Old galvanized plums in our own cottages were well over 25-30 years (verified in practice), new color-coated appreciate your grandchildren.

Finally, as usual, a few simple tips:

• carefully walk around the sites of leading manufacturers and suppliers of metal gutters, paying attention not to the price of materials, and in the lineup, the reputation and the prestige of the company;
• try as closely as possible to make preliminary calculations, since the money will be thrown later in the form of roll material on the site and remind you of his own stupidity;
• employed on installation of metal gutter professionals, not casual Brigade guest workers, because in this case the value for money determines the comfort of the whole family.
