We proudly offer strip drain solutions from leading brands Grated Drains and Hide. These products are engineered for durability, performance, and style, making them suitable for both homeowners and trade professionals.

Grated Drains: Modular and Customisable

Grated Drains products are fully modular, allowing you to create a drainage system tailored to your project’s needs. Choose from two channel depths—45mm or 100mm—to suit various installation requirements. Select your preferred grate type, including anodised aluminium and stainless steel strip drain grates, for a modern, corrosion-resistant finish.

For a seamless look, Grated Drains offers tile insert strip drain kits. These kits come with stainless steel lids and are suitable for 13mm, 22mm or 32mm tile thicknesses. The 13mm and 32mm lids are available with both 100mm and 45mm deep channels, while the 32mm thick tiles are only available with the 100mm channels. They’re perfect for patios, pool surrounds, and outdoor shower strip drain installations where aesthetics matter.

Our collection also features tile inserts and concrete pour lids from Hide, designed to fit perfectly into the Everhard channel. These options provide flexibility for custom finishes, whether you’re working with tiles or concrete, and ensure a flush, professional result.

Applications for Every Outdoor Space

Landscaping and Gardens

Strip drains are essential for effective water management in landscaped areas. They prevent soil erosion, protect plant beds, and keep pathways dry.

Driveways and Patios

A strip drain driveway system efficiently channels water away from hard surfaces, reducing the risk of puddles and surface damage. Our concrete strip drain options are robust and built to withstand vehicle traffic.

Pools and Outdoor Showers

Install a strip drain shower or poolside to keep wet areas safe and slip-free. Stainless steel strip drain grates are ideal for these environments due to their resistance to rust and corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a strip drain and a traditional drain?

A strip drain provides a long, narrow channel for water collection, making it more effective for large or linear areas compared to a single-point drain.

How do I choose the right channel depth?

The choice between 45mm and 100mm deep channels depends on the expected water flow and installation height. Deeper channels are ideal for areas with heavy rainfall or high water volume.

Can I install a strip drain myself?

Many of our strip drain systems are designed for straightforward installation. However, for best results—especially in driveways or pool areas—professional installation is recommended.

Are your strip drains suitable for outdoor showers and pools?

Yes! Our stainless steel strip drain and tile insert strip drain options are perfect for outdoor showers and pools, offering excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

What maintenance is required?

Regularly remove debris from the grates and channels to ensure optimal water flow. Stainless steel and anodised aluminium grates are easy to clean and maintain.

Are the tile insert kits compatible with all tile thicknesses?

Our Grated Drains tile insert kits are available for 13mm, 22mm, and 32mm tile thicknesses. Please check your tile size before ordering.

Can I use Hide lids with other channel brands?
