ACO
Building + Landscape has announced the launch of its new slimline doorway
drainage system, Threshold Drain.
Designed
to enhance property entrances leading onto driveways and patios, the system
offers contractors and landscapers a unique way to add a subtle yet highly
effective aesthetic finish to an installation.
One of the
key attributes of Threshold Drain is its ability to prevent water ponding,
which can diminish the overall appearance of the threshold and degrade masonry
if the water is allowed to collect over a long period of time.
The body
of the Threshold Drain system is made from extruded plastic that is compliant
with Part M of the Building Regulations for England and Wales and Section 4 of
the Scottish Building Standards. The channel is also CE marked, and fully
certified to load class A 15 BS EN 1433:2002.
Providing a slimline, discreet, and stylish finish to
exterior projects, Threshold Drain is easy to install and can be connected to domestic
soakaways and drainage systems. The system also features a removable aluminium
ACO Heelguard™ grating, to prevent footwear from getting caught in the product.
The grating is available in silver or black, allowing contractors to offer a
threshold drainage system that is aesthetically pleasing and suits a wide
variety of paving finishes.

comments: “The Threshold Drain is the latest addition to ACO’s Building and
Landscape range and demonstrates how easy it is to install drainage that can
provide an effective water management solution, without compromising on the
overall look of the project.
“Threshold
Drain is already proving popular with merchants given its unique market
positioning, and ability to provide a simple solution to the problem of
potential water damage in thresholds. Ultimately, it not only looks great, but
it also provides protection against water collection which can cause damage in
the long-run to buildings.”
