We answer your questions about our terrace drains

A terrace drain is a drainage system specifically designed to channel rainwater or any other type of wastewater from a terrace. Its main function is to collect water that accumulates on the terrace surface and direct it towards the drainage system, thus preventing the formation of puddles and damage to the building structure or outdoor finishes.

Stainless steel is the preferred material for these drains due to its corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring that the drain continues to function efficiently for many years, even in adverse weather conditions.

There are several types of terrace drains depending on the design, size, and drainage needs of the space. Among the most common are:

  • Point drains: These are ideal for collecting water at a specific point on the terrace where water tends to accumulate. They are usually small and designed for confined spaces or to complement a larger drainage system.
  • Linear drains: These drains are designed to evacuate water more efficiently on larger or more regularly shaped terraces. Their elongated design allows them to cover a larger surface area, making them perfect for large terraces or rooftops with slopes.
  • Hidden drains: These are designed to integrate perfectly with the terrace flooring or cladding, offering a clean and modern aesthetic. They are often used in contemporary terrace designs.

Yes, terrace drains can be both horizontal and vertical, depending on the design and specific needs of the drainage system:

  • Horizontal drains: These are installed at ground level and are usually more suitable for terraces with flat or slightly sloped surfaces. Their design allows water to flow into them efficiently without the need for steep slopes.
  • Vertical drains: These are used when water needs to be channeled more deeply, especially on terraces with a greater slope or in cases where water needs to flow into an underground drainage system.

Both types of drains are effective, but the choice between them will depend on the structure and characteristics of the space where they are to be installed.

Although terrace drains, garden drains, and rooftop drains have similar functions—namely, collecting and evacuating water—there are some key differences in their design and application:

  • Terrace drains: These are specifically designed for building terraces, where rainwater is collected at specific points or distributed across the entire surface. Their installation usually requires a more structured drainage system.
  • Garden drains: Garden drains are used to evacuate water from landscaped areas, often in gardens with lawns, paths, or small slopes. They are smaller and tend to be more decorative.
  • Rooftop drains: Rooftop drains must handle large volumes of water, as rooftops typically have large, flat surfaces. Additionally, they are designed to withstand the impact of harsh weather and more severe conditions.

It is advisable to replace a terrace drain when:

  • Drainage becomes ineffective, i.e., when water no longer flows correctly or accumulates on the terrace.
  • There are frequent obstructions that cannot be easily cleaned, or if the drainage system is permanently damaged.
  • Corrosion or visible damage in the drain. Despite being made of stainless steel, wear and tear on the seals or grates may occur over time.
  • Changes in the terrace structure that require an update or redesign of the drainage system.

Preventive maintenance can help extend the lifespan of the drain, but when its functionality cannot be restored, it is advisable to replace it promptly.

How stainless steel terrace drains work

Stainless steel terrace drains work by collecting rainwater or any other water accumulation on the terrace. As water flows over the terrace surface, it enters the drain through the grate or cover. From there, the water is directed through a network of pipes that evacuate it to a drainage or storage system.

Stainless steel provides exceptional resistance to wear and corrosion, ensuring that the drain functions correctly for years. The grate design allows for the filtration of large debris, preventing it from obstructing the drainage system pipes.

Advantages of terrace drains

  • High corrosion resistance: Stainless steel ensures that the drain will maintain its functionality for a long time, even under constant exposure to water, sun, and humidity.

  • Durable and easy-to-maintain design: Stainless steel drains are easy to clean and require little maintenance, ensuring efficient drainage without frequent obstruction issues.

  • Modern and functional aesthetics: Their design is not only practical but also visually appealing, adapting perfectly to the aesthetic of any terrace.

  • Drainage efficiency: They are highly effective at quickly evacuating water, preventing the risk of accumulation that could damage the space.
