Unifold™ Finlock Gutter Solution

The Unifold™ gutter lining system was developed for commercial building but Ampteam have developed it to provide a gutter solution for housing association and home owners. Finlock gutters are often found on domestic buildings where they serve single dwellings to terraced blocks of houses. These gutters are supported on the external walls of properties and any leaks invariably find their way to the inside of the building, causing great discomfort to the occupants and damage to internal walls and decorations. The Unifold™ membrane will solve this problem.

The Unifold installation to these gutters usually requires the removal of the bottom row of slates or tiles to expose the tiling batten. Unifold™ is fitted into the gutter and the roof slope leg extends to this exposed batten. Corner sections and stop ends are factory fabricated, as are outlets.

The final installation provides a leak free system, which will not discharge into the building.
