What Is An Extruded Aluminum Rainwater Drainage System

Undoubtedly, terraces are one of the key elements in homes and buildings in which the use of a rainwater drainage system is most common. If you are interested in installing an extruded aluminum rain gutter system, this may interest you.

What is an extruded aluminum gutter?

An extruded aluminum rain gutter system with non-visible fixings is used above all for rainwater drainage from balconies.

It is also used for slab edge sheathing and to protect exterior wall sheathing. It can be used for both new construction and renovations to older construction. It is essential to use prefabricated joint pieces, corner pieces, rainwater catchments, and end pieces. Rain gutter systems are also available in powder-coated aluminum.

Why place extruded aluminum gutters on a terrace

There are many advantages of placing an extruded aluminum rainwater drainage system. These are the main benefits:

Filter rainwater that may stagnate on the surface of the terrace or balcony.

Avoid the formation of puddles of water that can end up causing leaks and leaks.

Extend the time of use of the terrace, especially if it is a covered one, since you will be able to enter and exit without getting wet and without water splashing inside.

Make the construction more aesthetically beautiful.

Protect the façade from falling water.

Installation of an extruded aluminum rainwater drainage system

When we refer to installing extruded aluminum gutters on a terrace, first of all, it must be differentiated whether it is a roof terrace, a gallery or a balcony,  since depending on each type you will have to carry out a different installation. Extruded aluminum is used more for balconies.

Placing a pluvial system on the edge of a roof. In this case, the main objective is to ensure that rainwater does not remain stagnant on the floor of the terrace, causing puddles. So they are usually hung directly on the perimeter. Aluminum is also an excellent material for this type of installation.

Installation of a pluvial system in a gallery-type terrace. These terraces are covered so their objective is to prevent a curtain effect from being created when it rains. Also, keep the edge dry. Therefore, you can fit extruded aluminum gutters to filter the water that falls from the terrace roof.

Installation of gutters on a balcony. To finish, you can find an open terrace in which the extruded aluminum gutters are placed on the wall to prevent water from falling on the door. In addition to filtering so that they do not form reservoirs that flood the ground.

The importance of maintaining the aluminum rainwater drainage system on a terrace

As with the gutters in other types of installations, it depends on their operation that pools of water do not accumulate which could affect the interiors of a terrace. Therefore, you should not neglect the condition of these aluminum gutters and we recommend that you hire a professional to carry out periodic reviews of the system, ensuring that they check the general condition of all the pipes and carry out the necessary repairs to avoid leaks or breakages and let the rainwater drain. We also advise you to cover the gutters of the terrace so that they are better preserved and give it an original aesthetic touch.

Lower Risk Of Leaks The hidden gutters are assembled by overlapping and sealing parts thereof with putty to facilitate uniformity of joints.
