How To Install A Gutter In A Sandwich Panel

The sandwich panel is one of the most common materials when it comes to placing covers to waterproof ceilings due to its price and the simplicity of its installation. As with other types of roofs, it is possible to install a rainwater collection system, although with certain peculiarities. We tell you step by step how to put rain gutters in the sandwich panel.

1. Check the condition of the cover.

When the installation of the gutters is not carried out at the same time, as the construction it is very important to ensure that there are no problems with the roof. If any area in poor condition is located, it should always be repaired before the gutter installation service begins its work. Otherwise, the surface may not support the weight of the mount.

2. Choose the type of installation

It is possible to fit rain gutters on a sandwich panel in two different ways:

No supports.

With supports.

In the first case, it is the most common type of installation when it is done simultaneously with the laying of the roof. While the second is the most common method of laying ducts for all types of roofs.

3. Place the gutters without supports on the sandwich panel

If you have opted to use specific storm drains for this type of roof, you should know that they are also often used to seal the panel finishes. Therefore, their function is multiple and you must pay special attention when placing them, since they must be fully integrated with the projections of the roof. Screw the gutter directly to the base of the panel so that it sticks out enough and finish off the ends well.

4. Do an installation with supports

The most common whenever a rainwater evacuation system is installed on a roof, is that it is hung by means of brackets that are screwed to the wall of the construction or to the eaves of the building. To do this, we only have to correctly fix these pieces with a reasonable distance between them and then place the ducts in place and secure them.
