SCUPPER ROOF DRAIN
A scupper roof drain is a crucial element in modern roofing systems, designed to channel rainwater safely away from flat or low-slope roofs. Unlike traditional drainage methods, a scupper drain is integrated through the parapet or wall, allowing water to exit efficiently and preventing pooling or leaks. Installing a scupper on flat roof structures helps reduce water-related damage, enhance durability, and maintain structural integrity. Both roof drains and scuppers work together to create a complete drainage system that supports proper water management.
In some cases, a floor scupper drain may also be used to handle overflow or surface water, adding another layer of protection. Whether for commercial buildings or residential projects, choosing a high-quality scupper roof drain ensures effective and sustainable rainwater drainage.
