| What is rainwater drainage system

Architectural rainwater drainage system, also known as architectural roof rainwater drainage system, consists of roof gutter, rainwater pipe and related components, can collect roof rainwater, organised rainwater reasonably discharged from the building, so as to complete the roof rainwater discharge at the same time well protect the external surface of the house and the foundation, as far as possible to prolong the service life of the building, and at the same time also play a certain decorative and aesthetic effect.

Here are some common materials used for downpipes:

Plastic: PVC pipe, PPR pipe, PE pipe

Metal: coloured aluminium pipe, galvanised iron pipe, copper pipe

Composite materials: aluminium-plastic composite pipe, glass steel

Coloured aluminium water system in North America and Europe has been widely used, has a history of half a century, since 2005 or so was introduced into the domestic market, due to the more durable, beautiful, easy to install, cost-effective, has become one of the building materials of the domestic building.

Why coloured aluminium drainage system can be widely used in the building materials industry？

1. By the electrostatic powder coating process to provide high-quality protection performance and decorative effect,Individualised colour customisation, and building colour matching natural coordination.

2. Roller coating aluminium sheet roller pressing process provides high efficiency in mass production and stable and consistent surface effect.

3. Seamless rainwater pipes are of better quality and cost-effective, with no worries about leakage and deformation.Durable, the surface of the oil antioxidant layer, not easy to oxidation does not rust, has a very high corrosion resistance, the colour is pure and does not fade.

4. Seamless rainwater pipes offer economical and flexible processing characteristics and edge nibbling effects.The integration of any angle elbow, S elbow and waistline bend fully guarantees installation reliability.

5. Flexible accessories and factory personalised design and production, at any time to solve the special requirements of the installation site.

| Color coated aluminium

Color coated aluminium is a material obtained by colouring the surface of aluminium alloy, the following is a detailed introduction about Color coated aluminium:

Characteristics

Light weight:

the density of aluminium is about 2.7g/cm³, much lower than many common metals, such as iron (density about 7.86g/cm³), copper (density about 8.96g/cm³), which makes coloured aluminium lightweight, more convenient and less laborious in the process of handling and installation.

High strength:

through the reasonable addition of alloying elements (such as magnesium, silicon, etc.) and the optimization of processing technology (such as heat treatment, cold processing, etc.), the strength of aluminium alloy has been significantly improved, and is able to withstand large external forces without deformation, which can meet the strength requirements of a variety of structural and decorative uses.

Corrosion resistance:

Aluminium is easy to react with oxygen in the air, forming a layer of dense aluminium oxide film on the surface, which can prevent the internal aluminium from being oxidized further, so that it has good corrosion resistance. After special surface treatment, coloured aluminium has stronger corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time in different environments.

Rich in colour:

The colouring process of coloured aluminium is varied, such as powder coating, electrophoretic painting, wood grain transfer printing, etc., which can present a wide range of colours and texture effects to meet the needs of different architectural styles and personalized decorations.

Strong weathering resistance:

the specially treated surface coating of coloured aluminium has excellent weathering resistance, which can resist the erosion of natural factors such as ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, wind and sand, and keep the colour bright for a long time without fading or chalking.

Easy processing:

Colored aluminium has good plasticity and processability, and can be made into various shapes and sizes of products, such as doors, windows, curtain walls, roofs, balconies and so on, through extrusion, stretching, bending, stamping and other processing methods, to meet different design and construction requirements.

Recyclability:

Aluminium has high recycling value, the energy consumption of recycling is only about 5% of the energy consumption of primary aluminium production, and the performance loss of recycled aluminium is small. Coloured aluminium products can be easily recycled at the end of their service life, which is conducive to saving resources and protecting the environment.
