Fascia is an important aspect concerning roofing. Fascia holds guttering in place and is a point to attach the eves lining and the roof sheeting. It also creates a smooth and tidy finish. |
Downpipes
Lidoran Architectural roofing offers a wide range of downpipes, available in various sizes.
As a general guide, in non cyclonic areas, for every 10 square metres of roof area drained, 700 square millimetres of downpipe is required, whether round or square. This calculation is based on the assumption that the maximum rainfall does not exceed 125mm per hour.
It is considered the best practice to drain to different points, using smaller downpipes rather than to one large outlet. Where possible, downpipes should be spaced at not more than 12000mm centers.
