Exclusive FlowPlumb distributor for Kenya, Space & Style ltd, has supplied a huge housing project in Kitengela just outside Nairobi with FlowPlumb 125mm Deep rainwater gutter system. The 300+ houses are aimed at the middle class sector and so a high quality, reliable system was sought.
Unlike painted metal gutters, the developer wanted a system that wouldn’t rust or scratch, or need repainting regularly. With FlowPlumb’s lightweight PVCu system, the through-colour is UV stable and system requires little to no maintenance.
As is recommended, the client chose to use the compete system including downpipes whilst Space & Style supplied installation supervision and periodic inspections. “With any kind of guttering, it’s important to install it so it can breath – that is to leave room between the gutters in the joint brackets for the gutter to expand into. Without this the gutter would buckle and be ruined. The FlowPlumb system has built in features to help the installer achieve this so it will always perform and look its best” said James Kimotho, Business Development Manager at Space & Style.
The 125mm profile chosen for this project has a flow rate of 4.9 litres per second which is more than enough to handle the rainy season, and is available in a choice of white, black, brown or grey.
