PVC Gutter

Traditional rainwater profiles, gutter and downpipes are manufactured by extruding PVC based formulations. 

The rainwater profiles are complimented by a range of injection moulded PVC ancillary parts. In this LCA analysis, 1 kg of PVC gutter for rainwater system has been modelled. 

This includes all PVC gutter profiles and ancillary mouldings/fittings used to manufacture the PVC system on-site. 

Rainwater system will be used as traditional rainwater systems for the collection and dispersal of water via downpipes to ground level. 

The rainwater system can be used on various types of housing, terraced, semi-detached, and detached houses, both modern or older housing. It can be used on either domestic or commercial projects where capacity has been evaluated to suit roof requirements. As a lightweight system it also lends itself to use on conservatories and garden room style buildings. End users can establish specific performance criteria and design choice by assessing the manufacturers product literature and website.
