Almost all modern buildings are equipped with a gutter system that directs rainwater from the roof to a specific place. Previously, tin pipes and guides were used for these purposes, but since 2006, a Canadian manufacturer called Murol has appeared on the domestic market. The drainage system of this manufacturer quickly gained popularity among consumers due to its low cost, excellent performance and noiselessness. Let's look at the features of such drains and how easy they are to install.
Specifications
Murol gutter system is presented in the form of various elements made of light and heavy-duty plastic, which eliminates the additional load on the cornice.
Each part of the drainage system is thought out so competently that even on the roofs of the most complex geometry of the product are installed very easily.
Murol (gutter system) includes the following elements:
1. Gutters with a diameter of 13 cm. Their length can be 3 and 4 meters.
2. Universal plastic and metal connectors.
3. Central (transitional) and end (universal) funnels.
4. Special plugs that seal the ends of the gutters.
5. Various angular adapters.
6. Pipes for draining water from the roof. They are made in 3 and 4 meter lengths. The kit also includes fasteners that provide reliable fixation of pipes against the wall.
7. Couplings for connecting pipes.
8. Pipes at an angle of 67 degrees (bends).
9. A set of fasteners made of galvanized steel.
The manufacturer produces roof drains in white, brown, black and red, so the assembled system is in perfect harmony with any roofing.
Advantages and disadvantages of Canadian products
Murol (gutter system) is characterized by the following positive qualities:
• Duration of operation . The service life of all drainage elements is more than 50 years. It is very important that during this time the plastic retains its original appearance.
• Resistance to atmospheric agents . Gutters for the roof (from this series) are able to withstand temperature fluctuations from +50 to -50 degrees.
• Easy to install . Low weight and the presence of convenient latches contribute to the quick and easy installation of drainage systems.
• Silent . Plastic elements help reduce noise during rain.
The disadvantages include loss of color (as a result of many years of exposure to ultraviolet rays) and a large number of fakes on the market. The first property is inherent in absolutely all PVC products, but the second drawback can be dealt with by buying only certified products.
Mounting technology
Installing a plastic drainage system can be done with your own hands, for this it is enough to simply understand how the Murol gutter system is installed correctly. Installation is carried out in several stages:
1. For starters, fasteners are installed to secure the gutters (hooks). If plastic brackets are used during the work, the distance between them should not exceed 45 cm. Metal hooks can be mounted in increments of 60 cm. In places where the funnel will be installed, two fasteners should be installed so that they are located on both sides pipes.
2. Hooks should be installed with a slope towards the funnel. Through each meter of the roof, the slope increases by 3 mm.
3. After installing the funnel, proceed to the assembly of the gutters. They are interconnected using latches and special connectors.
4. Next, the angular components of the drainage system are installed (in places where the direction of the gutters changes). Plugs are installed on the free edges.
5. Points are marked on the wall of the house in the area of which pipe clamps will be attached.
6. Gutter pipes are inserted into each funnel . With a step of 2 meters clamps are mounted. Pipe connections snap and lock with clamps.
Installation is being completed by installing a storm water inlet or outlet.
As you can see, installing Murol (gutter system) is extremely simple.
Murol drainage cost
Surely many have already wondered how much the Murol gutter system costs. The price of a complete set depends on such factors as the roof area, construction height, the required number of additional elements and the reliability of the manufacturer. On average, each running meter of the system will cost the buyer 600 rubles.
