Outdoor drains must combine water evacuation with clean architectural aesthetics. Stainless steel 304 is specified for pool environments and outdoor exposure; the project and maintenance requirements must be considered.
Concealed Linear Trench Drain
The Concealed Linear Trench Drain in 304 stainless steel is suitable when the drainage slot should blend into the deck. Its recessed tray accepts the same porcelain tile as the surrounding area, leaving only an 8mm drainage perimeter slot.
Pool Coping & Curved Decks
The Pool Coping Drain captures wave splash along the pool perimeter. For organic curves, the Flexible Segmented Drain follows freeform contours seamlessly.
Perforated Stainless Steel Designer Drain
The Perforated 304 Stainless Drain is specified when a visible metal grate is desired, with laser-cut geometric patterns that contribute to the floor design.
How to Specify Outdoor Drains
DRAIN TYPE | MATERIAL | SLOT/GRATE WIDTH | PRIMARY APPLICATION |
|---|---|---|---|
Concealed Linear Drain | 304 Stainless + Tile Inlay | 8mm perimeter slot | Pool surrounds & outdoor patios |
Perforated Linear Drain | Laser-cut 304 Stainless | 50mm to 150mm grate | High-volume storm drainage |
Pool Coping Drain | Reinforced 304 Stainless | Continuous slot grate | Deck boundary interception |
Flexible Radius Drain | Segmented stainless body | Custom curved segments | Curved pool decks & organic shapes |
Record the total linear length, drain outlet diameter (50mm, 75mm or 100mm), and deck slope direction. Removable grates ensure easy seasonal hose cleaning.
