Eaves constructions utilising an external
gutter system are usually based around a
purpose designed cold formed eaves
member. These sections are formed to
the roof pitch of the building, thus
ensuring a good bearing surface for the
roof and wall panels. In a normal eaves
condition the end of the insulated roof
panel features a cut back of the insulation
to attain a drip edge and accommodate
the external gutter detail.
In the case of the Ward Roof - Low Pitch
or Curved DR1000 panel the
recommended insulation cut back
measurement is 65mm.
This dimension provides a practical
distance for erecting and fixing the eaves
gutter while ensuring access for cleaning.
To maintain continuity of insulation around
the eaves member, the wall panel is
detailed to form a close joint with the
underside of the roof panel.
A compressible seal or canister foam is
used at this junction.
In order to obtain clean building lines the
Streamline range of cladding supported
gutters is used. This purpose designed
gutter section integrates with the
standard verge flashing and pre-engineered
corner units to provide an unbroken
shadow line around the roof to wall
junction of the building. Constructed in
plastisol colour coated steel, the range of
roof gutters covers roof slope increments
from 2° to 24°. The inner lip of the gutter
is fixed to the underside of the insulated
panel outer skin using 6 fixings per panel,
the front lip is supported on arms fitted to
the profile corrugations at 1 metre centres.
