The gutter system for the roof is a whole range of products that is responsible for the quality and timely drainage of liquid from the roof. They can be made of different materials. As soon as the water is in the gutter, it enters the sewer system or soil. If the drainage is done competently, then it will save the pristine appearance of the building and its reliability and eliminate premature wear of materials.
In the vast modern market, you can find gutters, which are presented in a wide range. Among others, the Grand Line should be highlighted. The gutter system of this company has an acceptable cost and excellent technical characteristics.
Description of the drainage system of the Grand Line brand
The production process of Grand Line is constantly being improved and modernized. New technological developments are being actively introduced, experts are making additions to the production process, which allows us to obtain a product that has no analogues in its segment.
Grand Line is a gutter system, the manufacture of which uses a special alloy of steel obtained by cold rolling technology. The surfaces of the products are galvanized, which guarantees protection against external influences. The thickness of the elements is 0.6 mm, while the gutter systems are coated on top with a polyurethane substance, the application of which improves the technical characteristics.
Grand Line - a drainage system with:
- resistance to chemical influences;
- stiffness;
- strength;
- resistance to ultraviolet radiation;
- excellent rust protection.
If we compare polyurethane with plastoisol and polyester, then the first material in its technical characteristics is an order of magnitude higher than the rest. With its help, it is possible to obtain products that can be used at a wide temperature range, varying from -60 to +120 ° C.
To increase reliability, the gutters are coated with polyurethane on both sides. The manufacturer guarantees that for a decade from the start of operation the drain will retain its original appearance. Over 25 years of operation, it will be characterized by the invariability of technical characteristics.
The manufacturer uses another kind of protection - Aluzinc. It is a galvanic substance that provides corrosion and color fastness over the entire service life. Grand Line is a gutter system that is coated with EasyfilmS organic material, which ensures that products do not leave prints after touching. In addition, this treatment also guarantees mechanical protection so that the products are not damaged during installation and transportation. Such drains can be operated at an even wider temperature range, which ranges from -60 to +315 ° .
Mounting Features
The described drains are simple in design, so you can install them yourself. However, before starting work it is important to stock up on a certain set of tools, among them:
- rubber or wooden mallet;
- hacksaw;
- scissors for metal;
- measuring tool;
- screwdriver;
- pliers;
- cord for marking.
Hook installation
Installation instructions for the Grand Line gutter system include hooks. First you should use the long hooks for the gutters, which should be in place before laying the roofing material. For fixing, you should use a cornice board or rafters. The final decision will depend on the configuration of the roof and the wishes of the owner.
If the roof is already equipped, then you can get by with a short variety of hooks, which is mounted on the windshield. The distance between the fasteners remains unchanged at 0.6 mm. For convenient drainage into the funnel, such hooks should be installed with a slight bias.
Installation of funnels and caps
The metal drainage system Grand Line provides funnels and caps. To do this, cut holes in the gutters where you plan to place a funnel. The width of the hole will be equal to the limit from 100 to 110 mm, if the system has dimensions equal to 125x90 mm. The width increases to the limit of 120 to 130 mm, if the dimensions are equal to 150x100 mm. The step between the end of the gutter and the funnel should be 150 mm, while 15 mm should be left as a gap from the cutout to the upper edge.
Methodology
The funnel should be installed on the gutter, it can be strengthened by a lock connection, bending the latch inward. The plug will be located at the same ends of the gutter that are not adjacent to other components of the system. For reliable sealing of joints, an appropriate composition should be used, rivets can additionally be used. The joints are sealed with a rubber mallet.
Gutter installation
The gutter system Grand Line 125x90 mm will include gutters, the installation of which should be carried out using a certain technology. One of them is installed inside the hook, and then it is inserted into the latch and fastened with the help of a plate type part. In the instructions, you can find information that the lower part of the gutter should be located 6 mm above the inner side, this will prevent liquid from entering the facade.
In place, you need to install a cornice strip, which winds up inside the gutter from below, this will eliminate the wetting of the windshield. A hydroinsulator is displayed under the bar, which will guarantee unimpeded drainage. Complaints are connected by special elements with rubber gaskets, which make it possible to compensate for thermal expansion, ensuring tightness.
Conclusion
The Grand Line gutter system, the price of which will be made up of the cost of individual elements, implies the presence of a semicircular gutter, a connecting gutter and a plug. If the size of the gutter is 150x100 mm, then its semicircular variety will cost 1092 rubles, while the connector costs 198 rubles. As for the stub, then you will have to pay 167 rubles for it.
