Gutter Sizes

Everybody knows that buying a pair of shoe that is two sizes too small, is about as useless as keeping one litre of gas for a six-hour road trip. In both cases, no one is happy or satisfied and its money gone to waste. Choosing the right rain gutter and downpipe sizes is just same; pick a size that does not meet the required capacity, and your gutter system will not give you the results you want. We at Metal Roof Doctor provide consultation and other services to clients who need a little help in choosing the best gutter and downpipe sizes for your building.

The following highlights the top two fundamental aspects in the process of choosing the perfect pipes:

  1. The Geographical Location and External Environment of the Building.

It is important for clients to identify the external factors that will affect the effectiveness of their guttering system. For instance, if your building is located around areas that experience severe weather conditions or monsoon; it is advisable that you choose downpipes that are bigger in size to reduce constriction and ease the flow of rainwater through the pipes. Thus, an accurate calculation of the rainfall intensity and overall rainfall is essential to ensure that you and your building can benefit from the purchase that you make. This is why Metal Roof Doctor’s guttering experts come in handy. By eliminating the space for error, you are only saving time but also money on future repairs or replacements.

  1. The Outlet Quantity and Positioning of the Pipes.

Our guttering professionals would also look into the prospective placement of the downpipes and the frequency of the outlet to determine the flow capacity. This step is rather crucial because our experts would need to map out the flow of rainwater once it hits your roof and channels through the collection pipes and downpipes. Once they have calculated the flow capacity of the needed pipes, clients can proceed to make their selection based on the size requirements for their roof.

Trying to choose the appropriate gutter and downpipe sizes can be too much of a hassle. Therefore, get rid of your guttering problems by giving us a call! Metal Roof Doctor is here to help. Contact us at 017-485 8073 to schedule your free site inspection today.
