In today's unpredictable climate, where torrential downpours and severe weather events are now a regular occurrence, protecting properties from water damage is more critical than ever. Scupper drainage remains popular as a means to evacuate stormwater from a box gutter directly to outside of the building, usually via an external rain head.

The situation

Leaves, twigs, vermin and other debris accumulate over time. A rain event will direct this accumulation downstream to the scupper. Without a Scupper Guard, this debris will pass directly into the rain head, blocking the primary drain.

Some existing scupper guards on the market are poorly designed, untested, prone to clogging, and reduce the scupper's flow rate. An E2 compliant scupper, for example, is sized to serve a given surface area (i.e. flow-rate). An E2 compliant scupper with a restrictive scupper guard cannot be deemed compliant.

The solution

Aquaknight’s innovative Scupper Guards are engineered for superior protection without sacrificing performance.

Designed to seamlessly fit all Aquaknight Scuppers, they've been rigorously evaluated across the product line, guaranteeing compliance and efficiency.

Key features include durable debris repelling grates that allow smaller sediment particles to pass but exclude larger debris, all the while maintaining unrestricted drainage. This means peace of mind during heavy rain events, safeguarding the building from water intrusion.

Built with weather-resistant materials, Aquaknight's Scupper Guards withstand harsh elements, adapting to changing weather patterns for long-lasting performance.

The validation

Tested and optimised by FlowLab, Aquaknight Scupper Guards ensure optimal water flow even under extreme conditions. The test report below shows an E2 Scupper & Scupper Guard assembly tested to 5x the required flow rate.
