The Stainless Steel Heelguard Trench Grate and Frame brings Class B channel drainage to driveways, pool surrounds, and pedestrian paths without the need for a pre-formed box drain. Available in 200mm wide profiles in 2-metre and 3-metre lengths, the frame is cast directly into the concrete and acts as permanent formwork. You control the channel depth on-site. The 316 marine grade stainless steel grate drops in on top, secured by one lockdown mechanism per linear metre.
