Drainage of water from balconies, terraces and exploited roofs
In this article we will talk about the removal of water from such areas of the room as open balconies, terraces, exploited roofs. The place of water drainage can be an open ground terrace next to a building on the ground or on an operated roof: a country house, a restaurant, a hotel, a sports facility, a shopping mall, an office. Such rooms are increasingly gaining popularity and are not only architectural objects, but also a great place to equip a recreation area, watch beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The only thing that can disrupt this whole idyll is snow, rain and other precipitation.
That is why it is very important to take care of the removal of precipitation from these areas. Why is it necessary to divert precipitation?
Firstly, it is inconvenient and not aesthetically pleasing.
Secondly, it destroys the flooring of this territory.
In order to avoid all these negative consequences, you just need to install a linear tray (ladder) for receiving and discharging water. We offer a special series of shower channels for installation on balconies, terraces.
They have an optimal length: 60, 100, 200 and 300 cm, which are suitable for rooms of any size. Also, these models can be connected to each other if the room area is very large. Or, on the contrary, if the area of the room is less than the length of the model you like, the product can be trimmed. After that, remove the burrs and put the mounting plugs on the sides.
What is the configuration of these trays? Polypropylene housing, stainless steel grating, 360 degree siphon, garbage collection net, waterproofing tape. The grid can be of two types: linear (consists of three vertical "plates", between which there are two holes for collecting water) or linear with a dotted grid.
What are the features of installing shower trays?
Often they are installed on the edges of the room. In order for the water to quickly get into the drainage chute, you need to make the floor slope 2-5% towards the drainage device. A very important point in the installation is waterproofing. It must be done reliably so that moisture does not penetrate further through the coating into the roof, terrace or balcony.
The drainage trays that we offer have a capacity of 42 liters/minute, which guarantees instantaneous drainage of water even in a downpour.
To sum up: it is not difficult to equip a summer terrace or balcony with a place to relax, if you correctly approach the issue of precipitation of rain and meltwater.
