What is a linear gutter?

A linear gutter is part of a drainage system in which (precipitation) water is drained correctly. Two types of linear gutters can be distinguished:

• Gutter drainage : This is a gutter that transports water to the desired location, for example a drain or a location in which rainwater is collected for later use.
• Infiltration gutter : These linear gutters ensure a proportional and controlled release of water to the ground surface. This way you prevent flooding, puddles of water and improve soil quality.

A linear gutter on the terrace ensures that water does not cause any nuisance to the residents, with a linear gutter in the garden you ensure optimal watering of the plants and prevent puddles of water. The soil only has a limited capacity to absorb water, so with the use of linear gutters you can better regulate the water balance in the garden.
