INNOVATIVE HERITAGE VALLEY TROUGH SHOWS ITS VERSATILITY
Having manufactured GRP valley troughs for around 40 years , Filon Products has continued to innovate
The addition of the Heritage Valley trough to the range has meant that traditional close mitred valleys in plain tile and slate roofs is now possible at the same price as a dry fix valley trough , does not require the high cost and labour-intensive installation of soakers beneath each course , and is no more difficult to fit or cut the roof tiles .
This design provides an elegant seamless transition from one roof slope to the next with a completely hidden valley gutter . Whilst we are familiar with the appearance of open valleys and the centre upstand of a dry fix valley trough , with the Heritage Valley , the only things visible are the tiles .
Not just for heritage projects
Whilst initially designed for heritage projects the simplicity of the installation of the Heritage Valley has meant it ’ s now finding favour in a wide range of ‘ nonheritage ’ applications – in fact , wherever aesthetics is a key consideration . A recent project using plain tiles was a Sainsbury ’ s convenience store , but it is also perfectly suited to most other flat format tiles including concrete and clay interlocking varieties along with man-made and artificial slates . Another recent project replaced a failed swept valley that used reconstituted stone tiles and gave a beautiful trouble-free solution and appearance to the roof .
A truly innovative British design that delivers further savings , too
The unique , dry-fix , ‘ S ’ profile design of the Heritage Valley maintains the
The unique ‘ S ’ profile provides a wide drainage channel but narrower span between tile support ledges . Below , Heritage valley in the rain
necessarily wide drainage channel but has a much narrower span between the tile support ledges so the quantity of slate / tile and a half going into the valley is significantly reduced : a significant cost saving . This design also removes the need to use costly valley roof tiles on plain tile roofs – a great looking roof without the normal expense .
