OCTOBER 06 - TWO IN ONE VALLEY

Stockholding of valley troughs is halved with Glidevale’s Univalley 125 system.

Unlike competitor valley troughs, which traditionally suit either slates or tiles and therefore require stocking of two different products, Glidevale’s Univalley 125 can be used with both slate and tile, with roofs of varying pitches, and can be dry- or wet-fixed with all natural slates, concrete and clay tiles.

Manufactured from AB fire rated GRP, Univalley 125 has been purpose-designed to give a 125mm clear water channel to ensure optimum performance and secure protection against water ingress, to LSA and Brunel University requirements.

An innovative gel coating provides increased durability. Available in 3m lengths as standard, the system can be easily cut to size on site. It includes an integral mortar retention check to prevent slippage during fixing and to provide a secondary weather barrier against rain penetration, and a 25mm vertical weather check which simultaneously provides a fast fix to the valley batten. Resin bonded wide mortar grips ensure maximum adhesion when wet fixing. Univalley 125’s integral water slew prevention bar has been tested to enhance water discharge, allowing use with roofs of up to 10° pitch variation.

Nick Beswick, Glidevale national sales director, comments, “The Univalley 125 gives advantages of both economy and performance over valley tiles and lead valleys. One product does the job of several, reducing merchant stockholding, and simplifying installation and reducing wastage for his customer.”

Glidevale is part of the Building Product Design Group, which specializes in roofing and ventilation products. A continuous programme of research and development ensures the company brings to market innovative yet practical products in line with changing requirements.
