Plastic drainage system
Plastic - versatile material.Its main advantage is that it is not exposed to the corrosive effects of corrosion and resistant to alkaline environments.Material has excellent resistance to temperature, and can withstand the run from -50 to +50 degrees.Manufacturers of plastic pipe tried to make the material almost no fuel, it also easily withstands heavy loads, but only in a positive temperature.Installation is very simple plastic drainage pipes connected to each other using a special glue or sockets - connection with rubber seal.Plastic does not require special care, and its slippery surface allows the pipe is not clogged.Such systems are available in different colors and shapes.The service life of approximately 25 years.
Metal drainage system
systems of galvanized steel or with the presence of the polymer coating is not subject to corrosion.Also, there are copper systems which exhibit excellent decorative properties.They have a wider temperature margin and kept from -50 to +110 degrees.A more complex installation due to increased durability.Available in two types - round and rectangular shape.The color palette is more diverse, so if you can not find a suitable color systems made of PVC, you are sure to find it in metallic systems.The service life of these pipes - more than 15 years.
Brass drainage system
Installation is done by soldering.Despite the high cost of a sound system, it will serve you for a long time - up to 150 years!
Remember that drainage should be chosen with the roofing material, and the cost of metal is also not small.
