The Harcon range of valley troughs and gutters are manufactured in GRP as an economic and long lasting alternative to using lead. They can be used on either slate or tile roofs and with any combination of double lap or interlocking slates, clay or concrete tiles – with BBA approval.
The Harcon valley troughs are used as a durable substitute to lining valleys with lead. The Harcon joining gutter provides a weatherproof seal between roofs of terraced houses or where a new roof needs to join to an existing roof. The HARCON abutment soaker produces a weatherproof seal where the verge of a sloping roof meets a vertical abutment.
Lead Replacement
GRP lasts as long as lead, is tougher, cheaper, more resistant to accidental damage, and is less prone to theft or vandalism. Using preformed GRP valley troughs saves significant installation time over traditional methods. Roofers report elimination of many problems with valley troughs when changing from lead to Harcon GRP. Coloured lead grey as standard (other colours available on request).
Durability
Made with high quality un-filled polyester resin with glass fibre reinforcement for maximum strength. A tough bonded melinex film gives excellent weathering performance. Minimum life of 30 years.
Manufactured in UK
Manufactured to ISO9001:2000 quality standard, our automated continuous pultrusion plant in Coventry. All available from stock for rapid delivery to site.
No Maintenance
The inherent qualities of the materials make the valleys UV light and acid rain resistant, and the smooth surface finish inhibits the growth of moss, lichen and the build up of debris.
