The drainage system "MP Prestige" of Russian production is designed to divert rain and melt water from the roof surface. All elements are made of galvanized steel sheets and double-sided coated with a special polymer, which helps prevent corrosion. The plastic layer is durable, not afraid of scratches, maintains integrity for a long time. Its color does not fade under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. The assembly of parts is structurally understandable - the assembly of the system is accessible even to a layman.
Advantages and disadvantages of MP Prestige
The functionality of the circular drainage is due to the use of bypass elbows and ease of assembly without applying sealing compounds and installing rivets. The plastic coating is also applied from the inside, which contributes to the maximum protection of the gutter and other parts from damage by dirt and icicles.
In addition to durability and wear resistance, the design has a number of additional advantages:
- complete tightness due to rubber seals and clips;
- appearance appeal;
- compatibility with any roofing building materials;
- the ability to bypass any embossed surface of the building;
- the presence of gutter holders with additional reinforcement.
Ebb easily tolerate temperature fluctuations without changing linear dimensions and without losing strength.
The tide system has five colors, which contributes to the choice of the option that is most compatible with the architectural solution of the house. Accessories can be interchanged. This helps to quickly install a new part instead of a damaged one, to repair or remove a defective assembly.
Another plus of the MP Prestige round gutter system is its price. It depends on the number of necessary parts that can be purchased separately. A drainpipe of three meters length will cost 960 rubles. Hooks, jammers and connectors can be purchased at a price of about 140 rubles per unit, funnel - 300 rubles. The average price of a running meter starts from 290 rubles, the minimum set costs from 1750 rubles. A more detailed price list can be found on the websites of the manufacturer and sales representatives of the company.
Among the shortcomings, one can note the sound from dropping drops on the metal profile. It can interfere with hypersensitive people.
Design and performance
Gutter installations "MP Prestige" consist of a gutter, a pipe part, additional parts. Two types of sections are offered: D125 / 100 and D150 / 100. The casting system is characterized by an optimal ratio of the diameters of all its parts. The large size of the drains allows you to divert significant water flows, so the installation is suitable for areas with plenty of rain and frequent snowfalls.
A synthetic layer of plastisol protects the surface of parts from rust, the effects of precipitation and exposure to aggressive chemical environments.
When selecting suitable installation elements, the average precipitation in the region, the type, size and characteristics of the shape of the roof are taken into account. Installation details are universal, suitable for any style and architectural design of the building.
Due to such operational characteristics as high throughput, the system can be installed on residential and industrial buildings. It qualitatively drains water during heavy rainfall into drainage and storm sewers, reservoirs, and into the ground.
The gutter structure will save the facade of the house and its base from flooding, resists moisture increase, dampening of walls, and the appearance of mold.
Installation Steps
Before starting to install the drain, it is necessary to inspect the house, to identify its architectural differences, outstanding elements and depressions. The design at the place of installation should not contradict the general style decision. Then they begin to draw up an installation diagram and calculate the area of the roof from which water will drain. This is easy to do using school geometry knowledge.
A sewer with a cross-section of 100 mm functions effectively with a roofing area of up to 220 squares.
Installation itself is simple, it resembles the assembly of the designer, if you are guided by step-by-step instructions. First, gutter brackets are installed. It is carried out before fixing the cornice strips and metal tiles. Using the tape measure, fastening points with a pitch of 500 mm are marked on the bottom crate with a tape measure. No more than 10 m of the gutter per pipe is used, with a total slope of 3 mm per 1 m. The offset from the edge of the board should be no more than 150 mm. At this distance, you need to mount the first holder.
The extreme brackets bend down with a band bend, and a cord is stretched between them. The averages are mounted in a similar way so that they are in contact with the cord. If the gutter is long, it can be cut to size.
Further steps for installing the gutter device:
- On the gutter, they mark and make an incision in the form of a tick 10 cm wide at the top under the outlet funnel. The recommended distance from it to the groove edge is 15 cm.
- Before the funnel, they are tucked under an external groove bend. Then tightly tighten and fix, bending the carved flange to the trailing edge. At the ends of the gutters, plugs are mounted using a mallet.
- The gutters are threaded into the brackets and strengthened.
- On the crate board, cornice strips are fixed. The installation of the cornice is performed so that it overlaps the inner groove wall. The cornice is planted on the battens on the screws. Overflow limiters are mounted on the gutter in those places where water flows especially abundantly.
- If it is necessary to join groove sections, they are inserted one into another with a margin of 25-30 mm. At the junction, you will need to install a connector with an elastic rubber gasket. The rear flange hooks it to the inner gutter edge, before pulling it to the gutter, close the lock, which is fixed with the tongue.
- The funnel is connected to the pipe using two rings and a connecting sleeve. The length of the latter is determined locally and, if necessary, the part is reduced by a metal cutter or hacksaw. The segments that remain after assembly can be used for repair purposes if crimped with crimping pliers.
- Two types of tube holders are included. They are used on any surfaces and materials. They are mounted on the wall of the building in such a way: one part for each meter of the pipeline and in the areas where the segments are joined. Pipes are fixed in them using special locking structures.
- A drain bend is attached to the bottom of the pipe, measuring 30 cm to the blind area.
Self-assembly of the Prestige gutter system is not difficult. For this, you will not need special skills and professional experience. Of the tool and materials, a hacksaw for metal, a cordless screwdriver, an electric drill or hammer, screws and a band bender will be needed.
Ease of assembly, external aesthetics and functionality make this type of drainage system truly prestigious. The budget cost allows you to establish a drain to people with different income levels.
