When it comes to designing balconies or terraces reliable drainage is one of the most important aspects to consider in terms of the longevity, integrity and aesthetic of the structure.

Product Details
Due to their exposed position, balconies and terraces are very much open to the elements, i.e. precipitation. This has to be collected and safely directed away within the affected area, along balustrades and at the façade. Only by doing this will the structural fabric be protected from potential damage, leaving you to focus on the rest of your outdoor design.
Our standard range of products includes a variety of drainage channels, from subtle slotted channels for minimalist yet efficient drainage to façade channels with larger inlet widths, right over to special solutions such as particularly flat models for Bangkirai terraces.
Our “Bangkirai” channel is excellent for integration both in terrace flooring made of Bangkirai (also known as Balau) wood and in other flooring materials such as aluminium terrace floorboards. This type of channel quickly diverts the larger amounts of precipitation which can collect on window façades, for example, down to the sealing and drainage levels in the substrate. The low installation height of the stainless steel channel, which measures just 25 mm, matches the conventional material thickness of many terrace flooring options and therefore forms a consistent, flush transition in the flooring. Continuous rows of holes on the channel bottom make it very easy to screw the drainage system onto the substructure.
The Bangkirai channels are manufactured in 3 m lengths as standard and can be extended to any length desired using connectors. The standard inlet widths are 100, 140 and 160 mm. In addition, we also offer custom channel lengths according to customer requirements. The same flexibility also applies to custom inlet widths and heights.
There is a choice of 20 designer gratings available to cover the channel, creating a striking visual feature through the material contrast to the wood.
