The Scandic Rainwater System is a complete solution for collecting and draining rainwater, offering top quality in terms of durability, flexibility, and safe installation. It is adaptable to all types of constructions: from single-family homes to commercial, agricultural, or industrial buildings. The high-quality materials used ensure precise installation and maximize the system’s lifespan. Additionally, the wide range of colors and variety of system components ensure a perfect match with any type, style, or shape of roof.
The rainwater drainage system is designed to redirect the entire volume of water from the roof down to the ground, thereby protecting the building’s façade and foundation area from moisture and damage. To ensure the system can handle both heavy rain and intense snowmelt in spring, it is essential to choose the right capacity.
To select the appropriate rainwater system, consider the following:
- Roof surface area
- For drainage of roof areas up to 125 m², use gutters with a 125 mm width and downpipes with an 87 mm diameter.
- For surfaces between 125 and 200 m², use gutters with a 150 mm width and downpipes with a 100 mm diameter.
- Length of the eaves
- For eaves up to 10 meters, one downpipe is sufficient.
- For eaves over 10 meters, install two downpipes at both ends of the gutter.
This ensures optimal drainage performance and long-term protection for your building.
2. Roof slope.
It is clear that the steeper the roof, the faster the water will flow into the gutters.
3. Type of roofing material.
Roofing materials with a stone coating can slow down water drainage, while smooth metal surfaces allow water to run off much faster.
4. Rainfall intensity and duration in your area.
Local climate plays a crucial role — in regions with frequent or heavy rainfall, it’s essential to choose a rainwater system with higher capacity to prevent overflow and water damage
