UNIFOLD Gutter Lining System - Designed To Suit

Concrete and Finlock Gutters - Back To Top

Finlock and Concrete Gutters

Concrete gutters

Where they perform generally as valley and boundary wall conditions in commercial and industrial applications, can be treated as normal Unifold installations.

They are, however, often shallow and any increase in depth, which can be achieved, should be considered.

Unifold has often improved the size and performance of these gutters by taking advantage of roof refurbishment programmes or extending the gutter wings further up the roof slope or by using the construction depth of the existing roof in "dry" roof conditions.

Finlock gutters

Typical Corner Unit

As well as on commercial properties, Finlock gutters are often found on domestic buildings where they serve single dwellings to terraced blocks of houses. As these gutters are supported on the external walls of these properties any leaks almost invariably find their way to the inside of the building, causing great discomfort to the occupants and damage to internal walls and decorations.

There are also occasions when these gutters have overflowed into the building.

The Unifold installation to these gutters usually requires the removal of the bottom row of slates or tiles to expose the bottom 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 in any way.

Asbestos Cement Gutters - Back To Top

Unifold is suitable for all Asbestos Cement gutters and it can be installed without the possibility of disturbing, drilling or cutting the Asbestos in any way by utilising the patented clip joint.

Listed Buildings - Back To Top

Unifold is ideal to restore and preserve the integrity of gutters serving the envelope of listed and historic buildings due to its ability to replicate the existing drainage systems and to accomplish this with the absolute minimum of disruption.
