Introducing the Venice Clips: Raaft’s Innovative Solution to Water Drainage
Water pooling on rooftop terraces has long been a concern for construction professionals alike. The unsightly and potentially damaging effects of stagnant water not only compromise the aesthetic appeal of spaces but also pose a threat to the structural integrity of the underlying surfaces.
In response to this common dilemma, Raaft® proudly presents the Venice Clip – a revolutionary solution that breaks the water tension on the surface, ensuring efficient drainage within a remarkable 1-hour timeframe.
Addressing the Core Issue with Venice Clips
Raaft®'s Venice Clips are not just another band-aid solution, they are a meticulously designed product that tackles the water pooling problem at its core.
Aligned with NHBC 9.1.15 guidelines, this discreet and effective solution ensures that standing water does not exceed 5mm in depth or 1m2 in area, providing a comprehensive remedy to the persistent issue of water accumulation.
What is Water Pooling?
Water pooling refers to the accumulation or gathering of water in a specific area, typically on a flat or uneven surface. This phenomenon often occurs when water is unable to drain or flow away from a particular location, leading to the formation of puddles or standing water.
On rooftops or other flat surfaces, such as terraces or balconies, water pooling can become a significant concern. Factors such as inadequate drainage systems, improper slope, or the use of non-porous materials can contribute to water gathering in low-lying areas.
This accumulation of water not only poses aesthetic issues but can also lead to structural damage, erosion, and potential water-related problems over time.
To address water pooling, innovative solutions like Raaft's Venice Clip have been introduced to promote efficient drainage and prevent the adverse effects associated with standing water.
Venice Clips Benefits
Seamless Integration and Retro-Fit Design
One of the standout features of the Venice Clips is their inconspicuous design, crafted to seamlessly integrate with Raaft® specified tiles.
Available in transparent, the clip blends effortlessly with the overall aesthetic, maintaining the visual appeal of the tiled surface. What's more, the retrofit design allows for a quick and easy application, offering a lifeline to existing projects plagued by water pooling on porcelain tiles.
Versatility for Various Installations
The Venice Clips’ versatility extends beyond their compatibility with Raaft® tiles. The Venice clip also has a wind-uplift element too – we offer two clip options – suitable for both wind uplift and non-wind uplift installations.
The clips’ design shines during installation, ensuring a snug fit and acting as a protective 'buffer' against neighbouring tiles. This feature not only facilitates a smooth installation process but also allows for easy removal and reinstallation when needed.
