  • Gutter System Installation Standards Product Specification
    Gutter System Installation Standards Product Specification Property of: Spectra Metal Sales Gutters and Leaf Protection Introduction A Rain Gutter System starts with a trough, called a gutter, which collects rainwater from the roofline of a house and diverts it away from the structure, using elbows and downspouts. • The purpose of this diversion is to prevent water flow off the roof edge which can cause structural damage over time to the walls and/or foundation of a house. • The gutter system is more important to the exterior of your home than the actual paint, siding, or even windows, because it protects your home from rot, mold, mildew, and flooding. • This water damage, without a gutter system, occurs slowly, spreads quickly, and is unnoticeable until the damage repair is substantial. • For your gutter system to work properly, it must be able to empty out the water faster than it fills up. In order to ensure the proper flow of water, a few are vital to the success of the overall gutter system: 1) Seamless gutters 2) Gutter and downspout sizing 3) Slope or pitch of gutter 4) Downspout placement 5) Keeping the gutters debris free 6) Using quality parts and accessories 2 Gutter Specifications Scope of Guide A) The Rain-carrying system consists of all necessary components to complete installation with products manufactured or endorsed for use by Spectra Metal Sales. System Components A) Gutters shall be made of 3105-H24 aluminum and shall be continuous and seamless with a minimum thickness gauge of .032” or .027” (+/- .002” nominal). B) All pre-painted components will have an approved SMS Finish and Color.

  • The Classic Rain-Gutter Loop Antenna – Is It Any Good?
    The Classic Rain-Gutter Loop Antenna – Is it any Good? A simple technical look at an HF horizontal loop of wire strung around your house at rain-gutter height, plus. some novel loop disguise techniques. By John Portune W6NBC Compromise disguise antennas are no strangers to hams, especially on HF. But which ones are worth the effort? We often just put them up and hope for the best. But when I moved to a CC&R restrictive mobile home park recently, I wanted better answers, particularly for the classic rain-gutter loop, Figure 1. I couldn’t put up more of an HF antenna without the neighbors noticing. But was it any good, or only little more than a dummy load? Figure 1: Classic rain-gutter-height loop, elevated on standoffs (stylized for emphasis) To find out, I challenged the rain-gutter loop with EZNEC antenna modeling software. This required best-case and worst-caswe models to encompass most house variables: (1) two loop heights, (2) two house types and (3) several bands. These would place most houses somewhere within these limits. Loop heights were: 10 ft. (rain-gutter height) and 25 ft. (a more conventional loop height). House types were: all wood (best case) and stucco/chicken wire (worst case). Bands were: 40M, 20M and 10M. Why didn’t I include 80M and 160M? Well, I did at first, but right up front, EZNEC revealed something very important about horizontal loops – Rule of Thumb 1. RULE OF THUMB 1 To be efficient, a closed loop must have a perimeter greater than one wavelength (1λ) on the lowest band in use.

  • Architectural Metals: Cast Iron, Steel, Pressed Tin, Copper, Aluminum and Zinc
    CITY OF GRANBURY Historic Preservation DESIGN GUIDELINES 10. ARCHITECTURAL METALS: CAST IRON, STEEL, PRESSED TIN, COPPER, ALUMINUM AND ZINC Evaluate the overall condition of architectural metals to determine whether more protection and maintenance may be required and if repairs are warranted. Most architectural features on Granbury's historic buildings were made of pressed tin. Most hardware on Granbury's historic buildings (before 1930) were made of brass, bronze and/or copper. Identify and Retain architectural metal features, such as columns, pilasters, soffits, cornices, capitals, window frames, awnings or stairways that are important to defining the historic character of a building, its finishes and colors. Protect and Maintain architectural metals from corrosion by providing proper drainage, preventing water from standing on horizontal surfaces or accumulating in curved, decorative features. Clean architectural metals, when necessary, to remove corrosion prior to repainting or applying other appropriate protective coatings. Do not remove historic patinas found on some metals such as copper or bronze. This will diminish the metal's historic character and may damage it. Prohibited: ¦ Removing or radically changing architectural metal features, so that, as a result, their character is diminished. ¦ Removing a major portion of the historic architectural metal from a facade instead of repairing or replacing only the portion(s) of deteriorated metal. ¦ Radically changing a metal’s type of finish, patina, historic color or accent theme. ¦ Failing to identify, evaluate and treat the causes of corrosion, like moisture from leaking roofs or flashing. ¦ Placing incompatible metals together without first providing a reliable separation material, thus causing a galvanic or corrosive reaction, and damaging the adjacent metals.

Podpis autora práce iii iv On the ancient peak of Ararat The centuries have come like seconds, And passed on. The swords of innumerable lightnings Have broken upon its diamond crest, And passed on. The eyes of generations dreading death Have glanced at its luminuos summit, And passed on. The turn is now yours for a brief while: You, too, look at its lofty brow, And pass on! Avetik Isahakyan, “Mount Ararat”, in Selected Works: Poetry and Prose, ed. M. Kudian, Moscow 1976. v vi My first sincere thanks belong to my thesis’ supervisor, prof. Ivan Foletti, for his observations, talks and patience during this time. Especially, I would like to thank him for introducing me to the art of Caucasus and giving me the opportunity to travel to Armenia for studies, where I spent five exciting months. I would like to thank teachers from Yerevan State Academy of Arts, namely to Gayane Poghosyan and Ani Yenokyan, who were always very kind and helped me with better access of certain Armenian literature. My gratitude also belongs to my friends Susan and colleagues, notably to Veronika, who was with me in Armenia and made the whole experience more entertaining. To Khajag, who helped me with translation of Armenian texts and motivating me during the whole process. It´s hard to express thanks to my amazing parents, who are constantly supporting me in every step of my studies and life, but let me just say: Thank you! vii viii Content Introduction.........................................................................1 I.

The system is suitable for roofs pitched between 3º and 90º, barrel vaulted roofs, conical and domed roofs, and in general almost any type of roof that can be clad in elZinc®. This is a proven traditional system that has been used to install zinc since the origins of zinc roofing itself and continues to be by far the most popular method today. The fine lines of the standing seams give the system its light, attractive appearance and contribute to its flexibility. Modern profiling and seaming technology makes quick work of large roo- fs, decreasing installation times and the associated direct and indirect costs. It can be installed over a ventilated or non-ventila- ted roof construction, allowing the best solution to be chosen according to the characteristics of each project. The fixing is hidden and indirect. It needs a continuous support behind it and normally uses elZinc® sheet thicknesses of between 0.65 and 0.8mm.

  • Rain Gutters Are Attached to Your Home and Run Along the Roof Line
    Rain gutters are attached to your home and run along the roof line. They collect the rain water that falls on the roof, and lead it into downspouts, which carry it away from the house or to rainwater collection barrels. Rain gutters help protect the foundation from wearing down and the roof and siding from water leaks that can cause the buildup of mold and mildew. They also help keep moisture out of the crawl space under the house. However, rain gutters also collect plant debris, such as pine needles and leaves, putting your home at risk from burning embers. If debris in the gutters catches fire, the house and everything inside is in danger. Cleaning rain gutters often removes debris buildup, keeps rainwater Rain flowing into the downspout and away from the house, improving the gutters are safety of your home. Plastic gutters are easy to install, but can melt traps for and ignite your home. Metal gutters however, won’t burn or crack, burning making them the best choice in fire hazard areas. embers, which can ignite your You can also increase your home’s safety by putting in gutter home long flashing, which will protect the roof’s edge and help stop fire from before the spreading to the attic. Gutter flashing is a thin layer of waterproof actual wildfire material that’s bent at a right angle and attached under the roof arrives. covering, inside the gutter. Rain gutter covers or guards can be added to block debris and reduce the number of times you need to clean them, but they must be kept up regularly to lower the wildfire risk.
