Premium PVC Threshold Drain with Aluminium Grating - 1 Metre Length for Effective Water Management

Product Overview

This high-performance PVC threshold drain is a slim doorway drainage channel designed for domestic projects in non-trafficked zones such as patios, pathways, and walkways. It effectively collects and redirects accumulated water, eliminating ponding around entrances, patios, and pedestrian open spaces.

The linear drainage channel is perfect for managing water runoff at doorways or entrances, making it suitable for both commercial and residential buildings facing a high risk of water ingress. It helps prevent water damage and maintains a safe environment, reducing surface runoff in urban areas and lowering the risk of flooding around a building's entrance.

Technical Specifications

This threshold drainage strip is fully compliant and certified to load class standard A 15 BS EN 1433:2002, making it capable of withstanding up to 1.5kN (approximately 15 tonnes) of force in soft ground and around 25kN in concrete. This makes it suitable for light-duty internal and external applications such as skirting the base of indoor pools and patio thresholds, or along pedestrian footpaths and bridleways.
