Get ready for the ‘ downpour ’ of guttering work

»»
AUTUMN IS TRADITIONALLY A time for consumers to get home improvement jobs done before the winter sets in . With the lack of rainfall this summer gutters have been sitting idle but been subject to massive changes in temperature from highs of 30o to lows of 10o . With the inevitable expansion and contraction this brings it ’ s likely that with the first downpour gutters will have developed leaks .
Freefoam has now launched a new version of their rainwater brand Freeflow ® brochure . Showcasing the full range of Square , Round , Ogee , Deep and Cast-Iron effect PVC guttering and illustrating the major benefits of their innovative system the brochure is a great selling tool for all fitters .
Whilst guttering is often seen as a commodity , with one brand very much like another , Freefoam has developed a series of clever innovations to raise the bar on guttering and solves the usual niggling issues – such as scratches on the outside , discolouration over time and call backs to leaks – making life easier for installers .
COEXTRUDED TO REDUCE MAIN CAUSE OF LEAKS
Each rainwater system is co-extruded with a white interior and a range of exterior colours . This innovation means that while the interior is exposed to sunlight as normal , it absorbs significantly less heat from the sun and expands far less along its width and length . This dramatically decreases the probability of leaks - and creaks .
WATER-TIGHT JOINTS
Freeflow features pioneering long-life compressible seals which create flexible watertight joints when lengths of guttering are connected . The seals allow gutters to move without making a noise and without creating the gaps which cause leaks .
PROTECTED FROM FACTORY TO FITTING
All Freeflow gutters and downpipes come covered with protective film so they can survive knocks in transit and can be installed without scratches .
‘ the brochure is a great selling tool for all fitters ’
COLOUR DESIGNED TO LAST
Freefoam is the colour specialist . Offering White , Black , Brown , Caramel and Grey rainwater ranges using Freefoam ’ s patented ColormaxTM technology ; an advanced master-batching process with a blend of natural PVC and pigments that are simultaneously co-extruded to produce built in colourfastness , colour variety , and reliable colour matching , all guaranteed for up to ten years .
