Why choose Fiberspan Concrete Canales?
Ensuring the longevity of your home involves making wise choices in every aspect, including roof drainage. While it might be tempting to cut corners on canale/scupper drains to stay within budget, opting for cheaper options can prove to be a costly decision in the long run. The initial savings may be appealing, but the inevitable deterioration of low-quality drains will lead to replacements and potential repairs, causing water damage to your roof and walls around the parapet. Invest wisely to avoid future expenses.
Traditional canales/scuppers made of wood posed a rapid deterioration problem, often compounded by attempts to address it with sheet metal linings. Even the more expensive copper-covered canales couldn’t escape the impact of dampness and decay within the wood interior. It’s essential to prioritize durable materials like Fiberspan Concrete Canales, which provide a lasting and reliable solution to roof drainage, sparing you from future expenses and potential structural damage.

Maintaining the roof slope is crucial, and, if necessary, shimming the canale roof attachment flange is advised to enhance the slope and ensure optimal water drainage.
To ensure a secure attachment to the roof and parapet, a thorough assessment of the need for additional wood blocking is essential. If required, the addition of supplementary wood blocking provides a solid attachment, guaranteeing the effectiveness of Fiberspan Concrete Canales on membrane roofs and delivering reliable and efficient water drainage solutions
Spray Foam Roof: When installing Fiberspan Concrete Canales on a spray foam roof, follow these guidelines for proper installation:
