Overview of Guttering Systems
Rainwater guttering systems are designed to channel water away from a buildings base to protect its foundation. They also protect masonry, stop water draining into basements and cellars, protect paintwork by helping keep dry and collect water for other uses such as gardening.
Rain gutters can be constructed from a variety of materials, including steel, cast iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, PVC (and other plastics),GRP and wood.
A down pipe (also referred to as a leader) is used to drain the water from the roof mounted gutter to the ground where it can be collected in a barrel or soaked away into a drain. A rainwater collection system for water carried from guttering may be a barrel or a cistern.
A combination of the following components make up a Rainwater System.
Gutters - the horizontal pipe that sits on the roof edge and collects the water as it drains off the tiles. Different styles and shapes of guttering are produced depending on the size and decorative finish required. They are referred to as profiles.
Pipes - used to drain the water from the roof level to the ground. A network of pipes and joints are used to connect the system together and navigate its way down the building.
Hoppers - Multiple pipes can be directed to a hopper and channeled to a single down pipe.
Accessories - brackets, clips, ends and outlets are used to connect the rainwater system together and to secure it to the building.
To filter out roof debris such as leaves, moss and broken tiles many rainwater systems will include a louver or screen above the main gutter pipe.
Maintenance is normally restricted to the occasional clean out on most modern systems. If blocked then water can overflow down the side of the building. Stagnant water in gutters can encourage weeds and grasses to grow. Good, well kept guttering should last you a very long time provided that you take the time to look after it
