Seamless gutter with integrated slope

Rainwater drainage without disturbing facade line

With the current climate change and the increasingly extreme rainfall as a result, it is increasingly important that rainwater management is in order. "A good slope in our gutters is very important in this regard," said Marc Beers, director of Beers Bouwproducten BV.

For proper rainwater drainage, the technical ABC of insurer Woningborg prescribes a slope of at least 2 millimeters per meter.

Beers: "With various gutter systems, such as zinc and drawn aluminum gutters, this slope can be achieved by mounting the suspension brackets in which the gutters will lie at an angle. However, this does not enhance the appearance of a building. Especially when the drain is installed at the end of the gutter, a "slanting gutter" disturbs the facade line considerably. If the drain has to be in the middle of a gutter, it becomes even more of a problem if you want to do this at an angle. That means putting a kink in the gutter and most materials don't lend themselves to that."

Possibly customized

For these situations, Beers Bouwproducten has developed a gutter system in which the slope is integrated into the gutter itself. "This allows our customers to benefit from the advantages of a prefabricated, polyester gutter, which also meets all functional as well as aesthetic requirements regarding the slope." 

To produce the gutters, the company uses production molds, in which a color layer (finishing coat) is first applied and then the polyester is built up.

"We laminate a slope layer between the outer and inner layers, creating an invisible sandwich construction," Beers said. "A total of fourteen standard gutter models are available, in various shapes and sizes. Upon request, we also make custom molds. For the finish, architects and contractors have a choice of virtually all RAL colors."

The polyester gutters have now been used in various housing projects. Such as in the creation of De Streek in Etten-Leur and in Huis ter Heide. A recent example is the construction of the new neighborhood, 'Bij de Watertoren' in 's Gravendeel. A total of 80 homes were built here around the distinctive water tower. Gutters are also being used for the realization of 'De Maricken' in Wilnis. This residential area with more than 600 homes will soon have a wide variety of housing types.
