How to Maximise Value from High-Demand Drainage Products

Investing in high-quality drainage products is essential, but proper installation and maintenance can significantly extend their lifespan and maximise their value. Here’s how you can get the most from your threshold drains, ductile iron covers, and other drainage solutions.

Choosing the Right Product

• Match the product’s load capacity to its intended application (e.g., A15 for pedestrian use, B125 for light vehicles).
• Opt for materials suited to the environment—aluminium for coastal areas, ductile iron for heavy-duty use.

Installation Tips

• Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper placement and securing of drainage systems.
• Ensure a stable sub-base to prevent shifting or settling over time.
• Seal recessed covers properly to prevent water ingress or odour leaks.

Maintenance Advice

• Regularly inspect drainage grates and covers for debris or blockages.
• Clean aluminium and ductile iron grates periodically to maintain appearance and function.
• Check for wear or damage, especially in high-traffic areas, and replace components as needed.
