FRP Gutters
FRP rainwater gutters are highly resistant to corrosion, which is a common issue with metal gutters exposed to rain, moisture, and pollutants. Unlike galvanized steel or aluminum, FRP gutters do not rust, making them an excellent choice for buildings near coastal areas or industries where the gutters are exposed to chemicals or other corrosive substances.
FRP offers unlimited possibilities for shape, profile, size & color and is known for its high resistance to extremes of weather and harsh environmental condition, resistance to corrosion, fumes, chemicals with inherent property of high strength, durability, dimensional stability, light weight, easy to install, maintained, along with good aesthetic appeal. FRP Rainwater Gutter duly installed on the existing MS bracket / support member made of MS angle / flat.
Advantages of FRP Gutter
- Single casted with no joints: FRP Gutter are casted in one single piece (Monolithically casted) hence leaving no scope for any water, moisture, insects, dusts etc. to seep inside the gutter and pose problem towards maintenance, leakages or bad smell. Only FRP gutter can be made in single piece, unlike M.S., G.I. or asbestos.
- Maintenance free: FRP gutter are made with inbuilt color, single piece casting and smooth glossy finish hence practically requires no maintenance except for cleaning with plain cloth occasionally or cleaning with soap water. Moreover, as the gutter is made with inbuilt color, it has very long live without fading of color and requires no repainting over regular interval, unlike M.S. or G.I.
- Very long life: FRP as a material is very tough & rigid and resistant to extreme of weather and there is no aging of the material as a result it retains the same luster, strength and rigidity over a very long period, unlike M.S. or G.I.
- Resistant to weathering & UV exposure as the FRP gutter are UV stabilized.
- Corrosion resistant: Excellent water and chemical resistance- the gutter is constantly exposed to Water, Factory corrosive fumes and chemicals.
- Ease of handling: FRP gutter are tough, lightweight & scratch proof hence easy to handle, transport & install at site.
- Ease of installation: FRP gutter is fabricated as per design and shape required and is provided with inbuilt step for ease of jointing at site.
- Ease of repair: FRP as a material can be very easily repaired at site for any local or major damage, if any & more over repaired area is not visible.
- Good electrical & thermal properties.
- Good aesthetic appeal, strength, durability, waterproof & are termite proof.
- Good dimensional stability at high temperature unlike MS or GI.
- Can resist very high impact strength, which is evident by its application in various fields of automobiles, railways, boats, aircrafts and defense etc.
- Excellent Mechanical, Physical and Biological properties.
- Advantageous strength / weight ratio and rigidity.
- Molding size virtually unlimited.
- Considerable design versatility.
- Choice of wide range of inbuilt color – maintenance free finishes.
- Fire Retardant-if required.
