Lindab Rainline
Lindab Rainline is a steel rain drainage system which has been developed to combine durability, flexibility and ease of installation. The system is designed to coordinate with large or small, traditional and contemporary products and is available in ten fade-resistant standard colours including galvanised steel and copper finishes. No specialist tools are required to install the system, the gutters and drainpipes simply push together without the need for sealants. Rainline is vandal-resistant and can be fixed flush to a wall to prevent anyone from climbing it.
Steel is an ideal material for roof drainage systems and in order to provide long-term rust-proofing it is coated with 275g zinc per square metre. The galvanised coating will naturally self-heal and any scratch or cut is sealed by zinc ions which migrate to re-coat the steel. Rainline is thoroughly tested and is compliant with existing European standards. The system incorporates all the required associated components to create a complete system and includes:
- Rainline R gutters in 3 metre lengths
- Gutter joints, brackets and end stops
