CGL Gutters Company Profile
An innovative rainwater management system incorporating gutter, outlets and downpipes. Analytical software will design specifically for project.
Products
The Gutter
CGL Systems have been manufacturing membrane lined gutters since 1981 and we have supplied more than 1000 miles of gutter over this period.
The success of the gutter has established the product as the market leader - we will be promoting our membrane lined gutter as our standard within the RainPulse System. The gutters can be single skin or insulated and be designed to achieve various ‘U’ values. Other gutter systems can be made specifically to suit the client/project requirements.
The Outlet
The RainPulse outlet is specially designed to maximise the efficiency of discharging rainwater from the gutter into the downpipe. The outlet design also allows the elimination of a vortex which eliminates the pipes filling up with air instead of water. The outlets efficiency has been tested and its capabilities are incorporated into our design software that allows CGL to design the relevant amount of outlets and pipes to suit each project.
The outlets have been tested at the University of Sheffield to BS-EN 1253-2;2003 and complies with BS EN 12056-3 2000.
The Downpipes
There is a choice of downpipes depending on the project needs. For plastic we can provide an HDPE BBA Approved pipe system - the HDPE pipe is required to accommodate the flow and pressure of water in comparison to standard plastic pipe systems which do not comply with the necessary efficiencies or specification. We also offer aluminium downpipes which can be supplied in mill finish or a PPC finish. All pipes are specifically designed to suit the project requirements.
Design
As you would expect with a complete rainwater management system, CGL Systems will assist in the design of all aspects, provide details for incorporation into the project drawings and supply a fully detailed specification document for your project.
Benefits
Cost Saving Benefits are:
- Outlets
Expect reductions in the region of 50% in number required providing savings in material costs and site labour costs.
- Downpipes
Expect reductions in the region of 50% in number and a reduced pipe diameter ensures large savings in material costs, site labour costs and associated costs for plant and machinery due to reduced time periods required.
- Ground drainage
If incorporated early in the design then there can be savings in the ground drainage with fewer connection points.
RainPulse is a “patent pending” Rainwater Management System that consists of the most successful gutter in the last 30 years, an innovative outlet that maximises water flow and a downpipe system to cope with the water flow and pressures
