Cast Iron Drain Covers
Our cast iron channel drain grates combine traditional charm with modern engineering. Featuring intricate patterns and heel-proof designs, these durable covers are ideal for both residential and commercial applications. The natural oxidation process creates a protective patina that enhances their appearance over time while maintaining structural integrity. Available in various widths and configurations to suit different architectural styles.
Corten Steel Products
Corten steel drainage solutions offer a unique aesthetic with inherent corrosion resistance. The material develops a distinctive rust-like appearance that requires minimal maintenance while providing exceptional durability. These products bridge the gap between traditional cast iron and modern materials, offering cost-effective alternatives without compromising on quality or design flexibility for contemporary projects.
Aqualevel Threshold Drainage
The patented Aqualevel system provides complete protection against water ingress at door thresholds. Its innovative design features an internal water-stop chamber that prevents backflow while maintaining a flush, accessible threshold. Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, this solution addresses common drainage issues in modern buildings by combining effective water management with seamless architectural integration for both new constructions and renovations.
Stainless Steel Grates
Precision-engineered stainless steel drainage solutions offering superior corrosion resistance and longevity. These sleek, modern grates maintain their appearance with minimal maintenance requirements. The material's durability makes them suitable for high-traffic areas while the contemporary design complements various architectural styles. Available in multiple configurations to meet different load-bearing specifications and aesthetic preferences.
