Materials and variants of drainage channels:
In general, the gutter body ofdrainage channelsdifferent materials. These include plastic, stainless steel, concrete and polymer concrete. For the grate you can usually choose from aluminum or stainless steel. Depending on the material there are different advantages and correspondingly different areas of application. So that you can find the perfectgutterWe will explain the different properties of the materials below.
Materials gutter body:
As already mentioned, the gutter body is available in plastic, stainless steel, concrete or polymer concrete. Below we will take a closer look at the individual materials. Costs, robustness and therefore areas of application naturally vary depending on the material.
Plastic drainage channels:
This type ofdrain interiorsis easy to install and inexpensive. The low weight makes it easy to handle when installing such gutters. Plastic can be easily cut to the required length, so that it can be processed very flexibly. In our range you will find thedrainage channel UD Prooneplastic gutter, the are ideal for terraces or balconies.
Stainless steel facade gutters:
This material benefits from its very high load-bearing capacity. The steel is often V2A stainless steel or galvanized steel. This also makes the gutters particularly corrosion-resistant. Stainless steel gutters can also be flexibly shortened to the appropriate length. Make sure to use clean tools to prevent rust or similar. In our shop we offer theDW Drain facade gutter made of stainless steelto.
Concrete drainage channels:
drainage channelsmade of concrete are very robust and can withstand higher loads. This makes them particularly suitable for driveways.concrete guttersare extremely durable and resistant to extreme weather conditions, making them the ideal choice for long-term solutions. However, the high weight also ensures that the processing of suchguttersFlexible shortening is not as easy as withplastic gutters.
Polymer concrete drainage channels:
This is a hybrid of plastic and concrete gutters, so that the advantages of both types of gutters are combined.polymer concrete drainage channelsnot only lighter than concrete gutters, but also offer high stability and resistance to chemicals and frost. Thanks to the smooth surface of the material, water drains away more efficiently, which makes maintenance easier.
Materials Rust:
The gutter gratings are made of stainless steel, aluminum and plastic. Stainless steel is the most robust but also the most expensive option. Plastic is inexpensive, but is only suitable for areas with low levels of wear and tear. Plastic also tends to fade. Our gutter gratings are made of either aluminum or stainless steel. These materials are corrosion-resistant and versatile.
