Please note that PFC Rainwater Systems offer a supply only service however check our recommended installers section for contractors who are knowledgeable and familiar in fitting our aluminium gutters and rainwater products.
The standard Box Gutter is one of the most cost effective systems to contain and discharge large volumes of rainwater from any domestic, commercial or industrial building. The systems are pressed from aluminium sheet with a minimum gauge of 2mm and are supplied in standard lengths including 0.5m, 1.0m, 1.5m 2.0m, 2.5m and 3.0m. The majority of specifiers opt for an internal welded bracket placed at 600mm centres with an internal connecting collar, thus retaining a flush line at the eaves. The standard range of box gutters are extensively specified as a colour matching feature complementing the ‘Eclipse’ fascia/soffit system. Should there be a requirement for non-standard design please contact us. In situations where there is a likelihood of extreme snow loading, both external and internal support bracket must be specified.
The Half Round Beaded profiles are normally specified for domestic dwelling replacements as well as smaller commercial buildings. The profiles are an exact replica of the traditional cast iron systems that are still providing service across the UK to this day. All half round and deep round systems must be installed in conjunction with the purpose made extruded aluminium fascia bracket, which should be between 750 to 600mm centres. Direct fix is not possible with these profiles.
The Moulded Ogee profiles are extensively specified on all types of projects for both new and refurbishment schemes, from domestic dwellings to commercial office developments. The Ogee range commands a major share of the domestic, commercial and industrial rainwater systems market. As a result of the high tensile alloy that is used in the manufacture of the extruded profiles, the Ogee system can be fixed either in the traditional format with external fascia brackets or through the back of the profile into the building fabric as a direct fix.
All Rainwater Pipes are made from heavy-grade extruded aluminium tube with a minimum 1.6mm wall gauge. The 63, 76 and 102mm diameter circular pipes have either decorative diecast aluminium collars with or without traditional lugs or swaged aluminium collars with extruded pipe brackets in the modern style. The 150mm diameter pipes have feature made collars and fixing brackets to suit standard pipe lengths. The 76x76mm square pipe may also be supplied with swaged sockets with loose extruded pipe brackets to be positioned where required. The 150x150mm pipes have feature made collars and fixing brackets to suit. Rectangular pipes measuring 102x76mm are also available.
