Project Design Brief
The owners of the quality home had large areas around the swimming pool that requireddrainage and wanted a discreet drainage system that harmonised with the large terrazzotiles selected for the pavement. The designer worked with ACO to develop a customstainless steel tile insert drainage system that would operate in an external application.

- ACO’s Technical Service Department provided designers with grate intake data to ensure the grate would capture all the water run-off
Benefits

- Custom-made stainless steel tile insert to ensure the tile would be secure
- Continuous intake slot around the perimeter of the pool area, for efficient drainage
