Stormtech releases Wave Grate, a residential and commercial aluminium drainage solution
Architectural drainage designer and manufacturer, Stormtech, has launched its first aluminium grate; designed to provide an affordable, high-performance drainage alternative for residential and commercial bathroom applications.
The Stormtech Wave Grate is an anodised aluminium solution designed and manufactured in Australia, from 100% local materials. Featuring a wave pattern previously unseen in the market, Wave Grate is certified under WaterMark WMTS:-040:2021 to comply with the Plumbing Code of Australia and exceeds Australian Building Standards for quality and safety.
To ensure Wave Grate meets the high-performance expectations of all Stormtech products, an insulator has been invented to ensure the aluminium grate and stainless-steel channel are separated to eliminate the potential for corrosion.
Wave Grate features an easy-to-clean grate design with a silver, brass/gold or satin black finish, and is available in modular kits, made-to-length and fixed-length units in both uPVC and stainless-steel channels.
Stormtech managing director Troy Creighton says Wave Grate will change the game for modern drainage and provides architects, specifiers and industry professionals with an Australian-first solution for those looking for a high-end product at a mid-range price.
“Wave Grate is 100% Australian in every sense. It’s designed and manufactured in Australia for Australians and will give excellent performance suited to our harsh environment,” he says.
“Everything about the Wave Grate is aimed at making life easier. It is comfortable to walk on and more aesthetically pleasing in a bathroom as you can’t see dirt in the channel, whilst maintaining high flow rates. It’s resistant to corrosion and will never fade. The design also provides a safe wet area finish as it ‘grabs’ water using surface tension and keeps it off the grate.”
