Design and Installation

To select the Guttering size appropriate to your requirements, two factors must be taken into consideration.


- Roof area

- Guttering Flow Capacity


For further reference refer to

BS EN 12056-3:2000 ‘Roof drainage, layout and calculation'. 

Roof Area

The effective roof area can be calculated by using the following formula:

(B + C) x length of Roof =Area in M2

       2



Guttering Flow Capacity

Guttering flow capacity is dependent upon system type, outlet position and whether Guttering is laid level or to a specified fall. The table above gives the required information based upon a Rainfall intensity of 75mm per hour and recommendations from BS EN 12056-3:2000.
