ACO Building Drainage, the leading European developer and manufacturer of advanced drainage technology, has launched a sophisticated range of shower, bathroom and wet room drainage solutions offering the ultimate in style, function and performance. Ideal for domestic, hotel, commercial and leisure applications, the new series of channel and gully drainage solutions has been designed to the highest standards, using superior components and materials to significantly reduce the risk of slipping, while providing an exceptional finish.  

Including linear shower channels and compact shower gullies, the new product line satisfies the demands of all house builders and architects for luxury design, inspiring creative bathrooms from classical styles and traditional bathing culture through to opulent modern spas. In particular, the compact gullies are ideal where capacity is a key factor, while the linear drainage channels feature clean lines and a finish that meets the requirements of contemporary bathroom design perfectly.

The new range has been designed to cope with the demands of the modern, busy bathroom, withstanding almost all wear and requiring minimal maintenance. The slip resistant surfaces of the new gratings guarantee safe drainage and hygiene in bathrooms, while also meeting the criteria of the 'lifetime home' standard. In addition, a fire protection insert is available to provide 2-hour protection to BS EN 1366 Part 3.

ACO's new wet room drainage solutions have been developed with quick and simple installation in mind. The gratings feature low profiles with no protruding features making them compatible with either flexible sheet flooring or ceramic tiles and are available in a range of lengths, from 700 - 1,200mm, ideal for most applications including both new buildings and refurbishments. Furthermore, both channel and gully options have an integrated bonding flange and seals ensuring robust waterproof performance over long service lives.

The range offers exceptional flexibility with the shower channels and gullies being ideal for use in bathrooms featuring ceramic or natural stone floor finishes as well as flexible sheet flooring. The electropolished stainless steel gratings are available in a range of attractive designs and there is even an option for automated in-channel illumination, while extra customisation can be achieved with the laser engraving of a logo or company emblem.
