Drain Channel Cover

Drain channel covers are essential components in both residential and industrial drainage systems, offering a blend of functionality and aesthetics. At Build4Less, we offer a diverse range of drain channel covers, catering to various load capacities and design preferences. Our selection includes products from reputable vendors like Clark-Drain, ULMA, and EBP Building Products, ensuring quality and durability.

Types of Drain Channel Covers

Galvanised Steel Drain Channel Covers

• Features: These covers are known for their robustness and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for areas with moderate to heavy foot traffic. They come in standard sizes like 1000mm x 120mm x 75mm with Class A15 load rating, suitable for handling up to 1.5 tonnes of weight.

• Use Cases: Perfect for domestic environments such as driveways, patios, and pedestrian areas.

   

Polypropylene Drain Channel Covers

• Features: Lightweight yet sturdy, these covers are often more cost-effective compared to their metal counterparts. They come with different grating options like heel-safe and pave-slot designs, ensuring safety and compatibility with various surface finishes.

• Use Cases: Ideal for gardens, pool areas, and other residential spaces where aesthetics are a priority.

   

Polymer Concrete Drain Channel Covers

• Features: These are designed for industrial applications and are capable of withstanding heavy loads. The polymer concrete channels are combined with D400 steel grating, signifying their suitability for high-load environments.

• Use Cases: Best suited for industrial areas, loading bays, and other commercial spaces that experience heavy vehicular traffic.

   

Special Features

• Heel-Safe Grating: Specifically designed to prevent high heels or small wheels from getting caught, these gratings are a thoughtful choice for public spaces.

• Pave-Slot Grating: Blends seamlessly with paved or tiled surfaces, providing an unobtrusive drainage solution without compromising on functionality.

   

Choosing the Right Drain Channel Cover

Selecting the appropriate drain channel cover depends on several factors:

• Load Capacity: Consider the maximum weight the cover needs to support. Class A15 covers are suitable for pedestrian areas, while industrial areas may require higher load ratings like D400.
• Material: Galvanised steel offers durability and strength, while polypropylene and polymer concrete provide lightweight alternatives with varying aesthetic appeals.

• Design Considerations: The grating design can impact both safety and the integration of the cover with the surrounding area. Heel-safe and pave-slot options cater to specific needs and preferences.

   

By understanding the specific requirements of your project, you can select a drain channel cover that not only meets functional demands but also complements the aesthetic of the space.
