Prices vary by material, size, length, and project volume. Typical pieces or meters start around SAR 150 to SAR 700, depending on specifications. Matkel offers clear pricing for different sizes, and you can compare options based on required drainage capacity and project quantity.
Size depends on roof area, pitch, expected rainfall in cities like Riyadh or Jeddah, and drainage points. Choose a drain with enough inlet width and flow capacity per square meter, while accounting for low spots and distance between outlets. Matkel engineers can help select the correct size from your drawings and required discharge rate.
They are not waterproofing by themselves. Scuppers move rainwater quickly off the roof edge, reducing ponding and intrusion risk. For best protection, install them with proper waterproofing, water-resistant seals, and careful detailing at walls or metal panel joints. This is important in heavy rain and high Saudi heat.
Roof scupper drains sit at the roof edge to discharge water outside the building. Side drains are usually internal or on walls, collecting water from higher areas and directing it to a lower point. The right choice depends on roof design, building slope, and water flow layout.
Yes. Clean them regularly from dust, leaves, and debris, especially after rain and wind seasons. Inspect joints, gaskets, and connections for blockages or moved waterproofing. Blocked scuppers can cause backflow, edge overflow, and leaks in walls or the roof. Simple maintenance extends system life and protects the building.
