GUTTERING SYSTEM
The bold aesthetic and durable qualities of Marley Alutec’s aluminium solutions met the criteria for a striking guttering system on a new church hall in Tweentown, Cheddar. The manufacturer’s Evolve Box gutter range was specified by architectural practice, Robinson Clark. The 130x85mm Box gutter allows a flow rate of up to 7.01 litres per second and was installed with the same company’s 72x72mm squared Flushift downpipe system.
ALUMINIUM RAINWATER SYSTEMS
Evolve Half Round and Traditional Moulded Ogee aluminium rainwater systems from Marley Alutec have been used on a Victorian residential property near Glasgow. Selected as a durable and low maintenance like-for-like replacement for traditional cast iron, the 125mm Traditional Moulded Ogee bolted gutter system has a flow-rate of 2.21 litres per second (l/s) and an effective roof area of 105m2 per 63mm downpipe.
RAINWATER SYSTEMS
Quality and availability of product, supported by a high level of customer service, is the promise for Kayflow rainwater systems, from manufacturer, Swish Building Products.
The extensive rainwater collection includes, half round and square to Ogee, deep and super deep, available in a variety of colours, or cast iron effect.
DRINKING WATER APPROVAL
REHAU has successfully secured independently-tested drinking water approval for its RAUTITAN multi-layer composite pipe (MLCP) system through KIWA UK under its KUKreg4 certification scheme. All products connected to the UK water supply must comply with Regulation 4 of the Water Supply Regulations. Until recently, the most common method of demonstrating compliance was to hold a WRAS approval, but more recently, KIWA and NSF are also offering independent certification for Regulation 4 compliance.
ALUMINIUM RECESS COVERS
A new range of triple seal aluminium recess access covers and frames, designed to accommodate a variety of flooring finishes – including increasingly popular porcelain paving – has been launched by Wrekin Products. The strong, corrosion-resistant aluminium finish blends in seamlessly with the surrounding flooring and is a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel.
GUTTER MONITORING
RoofCare is a new ultrasonic gutter monitoring technology and drainage management system. Developed by Sharmans, it provides analyses of drainage performance and generates alerts to highlight capacity issues, as well as providing early warning of imminent water ingression and alerts maintenance teams to potentially take action.
