ROOF TERRACE DRAINAGE DETAIL
Drainage system will be lead through inside structure
Rigid insulation thickness acc. u-value
(This insulation from outer layer has a corten
steel panel cladding)
Wooden oak lumbers
of at least 20 mm thick
Wooden battens
Base and venting sheet
Fillet
Damp proof membrane
NOTE: Drainage is leaded through inside structure.
Sizes of materials varries, depending on manufacturers
specificationsand in order to meet BR15 requirements
of energy efficiency (u-value) further calculations are needed.
(structural openings) to avoid having pipes on exterior
of the building. Terrace will have required slope where
water will go into trenches and be transfered into syphonic
drain system.

The pedestals are made
of high density polypropylene,
so they are impervious to water,
mold or rot. When the rainfall is heavy enough, the gullies
create reduced pressure in the pipe sys-
tem. This means that increased drainage

Syphonic drainage systems operate with
specially designed flat roof drains which,
unlike gravity drainage systems, are
configured to work with completely full
pipes.
This can only be achieved by assuring

A siphonic roof drain is designed to operate
at full capacity when water is vacuumed
from the roof into the drain at higher velocities
when compared to flat drains. These roof
drains allow the designer to install a minimal
number of roof drains and have them
connected to a single rain leader.
The siphonic roof drain utilizes siphoning
Rigid insulation 300 - 150 mm as a mechanism to drain water faster than
any other roof drain. It normally costs more
than a regular roof drain but it works smoothly
and reduces the need for maintenance. This
type of drain can be connected using
horizontal rain leaders instead of having
sloped or downward pipes.
