Limitations on Use

It is imperative that the appropriate rainwater system, comprising, gutters, spouting, fascia, brackets and downpipes are correctly specified and then installed accordingly to ensure rapid shedding of water from the roof via downpipes to the groundwater system. Failure to implement an efficient rainwater system can result in water ingress and significant water damage to property. Roof drainage performance design must take the following factors into account:

Roof pitch
Rainfall intensity
Catchment area
Cross sectional area of the rainwater carrying system including downpipes
Rainhead design
Efficiency of flow rate and water discharge via the Downpipe(s)
Overflows
Roofing profile capacity
Roof penetrations which may obstruct water flow

For further information in relation to all roof drainage charts and calculations refer to Roofing Industries.

Where snow may collect on the roof and the rainwater system, it is recommended Roofing Industries staff are consulted for design and appropriate installation instructions including the possibility of using snow straps.

Other Performance Attributes

Regular maintenance will extend the life of rainwater systems, and it is especially important to keep all surfaces free from dirt, leaves and debris accumulation, paying particular attention to the requirement of frequent freshwater washing of the undersides of gutters and spouting which may not receive regular rain washing or alternatively are installed in a corrosive environment.
