When the question arises of installing a drainage system on different buildings and roofs of the house, most often the choice falls on drainage plastic systems. Such drains are rapidly coping with the removal of any amount of water, and harmoniously fit into the external type of building. Plays the role and variety of color tonality in choosing. In addition, these systems are different in size, structural elements and are installed in any areas, of different levels of complexity.
Distribution systems made of plastic are released by a number of advantages over similar designs made of copper or galvanized iron:
– The plastic is not subject to corrosion, and, accordingly, more durable, its service life is approximately at least 50 years;
– The details of such systems are stained entirely, and over the years the color does not lose its depth and brightness;
– A lot of water passes through the pipes of the plastic drain, for this reason they are not contaminated and throughout the entire operational period they do not need any specific maintenance;
– The elements of the system are reliably protected from mechanical damage – the thickness of the plastic ranges in the region of 2.2 – 3.3 mm;
– The material used for water drainage systems can withstand temperatures from +70 to -40 degrees Celsius;
– On plastic gutters, water flows completely silently.
For installation, simple and familiar tools will be needed: a hacksaw, a hammer, a cord, a ruler, a screwdriver, a pencil, self -tapping screws, a roulette, a clamp. A, here are power tools, gloves of the welder, punch, etc. p. – So far they can stay on the shelf. Installation work can be carried out in any weather, plus to this, plastic systems significantly win at the cost. The main thing is that when buying, you need to pay special attention to the presence of all components.
However, there is a small negative moment – a plastic drain cannot withstand a large mechanical load, so their installation on the roof where ice accumulates is simply impossible.
