Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lifespan of the flexible rubble chute?
The flexible rubble chute is highly durable and specifically designed for dumping various types of debris. However, like any product, it is subject to wear and tear. Factors that influence its lifespan include the type, size, and weight of the debris, how the chute is installed, and how tightly it is secured. Naturally, the intensity of use also plays an important role.
Many customers report that the chute remains completely intact even after their projects. As a guideline, the chute will last for at least 4 to 5 cubic metres of rubble under normal use.
Can I use the flexible rubble chute without the funnel?
Yes, the flexible rubble chute can be used without a funnel. However, we strongly recommend using a filling funnel, as it simplifies both handling and installation. A compatible funnel is available in our webshop.
How many storeys can the flexible rubble chute be used for?
A single flexible rubble chute is 3 metres long and therefore suitable for approximately one storey. If you need to cover two storeys, simply purchase two sections and connect them together. We have tested the product ourselves up to a height of 27 metres. Some customers have successfully used it at over 30 metres, although we cannot guarantee safety beyond the tested height.
What types of rubble can the flexible rubble chute handle?
We have tested the flexible rubble chute successfully with concrete, glass, and wood demolition waste. It has also been extensively tested with sharp materials such as wood containing nails. Additionally, our product is frequently used for pouring gravel and sand.
To ensure optimal performance and durability, always make sure the chute is properly secured and free from kinks. It should be positioned as vertically as possible — especially when disposing of heavy or sharp debris — to prevent unnecessary wear.
Do I have to use the flexible rubble chute vertically?
We recommend using the flexible rubble chute in as vertical a position as possible. While some customers choose to install it at a more horizontal angle, this will lead to faster wear and tear.
What is the delivery time?
If ordered on a business day before 9PM, the order will be delivered within 2 days.
Can the flexible rubble chute be shortened if needed?
Yes, the flexible rubble chute has connection loops at three points: one set at the top, one in the middle, and one at the bottom. When connecting two or more sections, you can decide how far the second section overlaps the first.
If you attach the second section to the lower set of loops on the first chute, the total length will be longer than if you connect it to the middle set of loops.
What is the price of the flexible rubble chute?
All prices can be found here.
How do I connect the flexible rubble chute to another section?
The flexible rubble chute features loops that can be easily connected using carabiner hooks, sturdy rope, or heavy-duty cable ties. Other connection methods may also be used, as long as they ensure a secure and stable fit.
We include sufficient free connection materials with every order.
Can I pay on account?
An invoice is automatically sent after each order. If you represent a company and wish to pay on account, you can place your order via the contact form. We will then send you a purchase invoice.
What’s the best way to fix the chute to a frameless window?
You can attach the flexible rubble chute to the hooks on the funnel. A strap, chain, or rope can be threaded through these hooks and secured to a fixed point. If there’s no window frame available, you can attach it to another object such as a radiator beneath the window, a wall hook, or even a bed leg.
By adjusting the length of the strap, you can ensure the funnel — with the chute attached — hangs securely and correctly outside the window.
In short: a window frame is not required to install the product.
Can I dump the rubble in a wheelbarrow or Big Bag?
Absolutely! It is not necessary to use a debris container. However, we do recommend that you secure the rubble chute tightly.
