Collection: Threshold Channel Drains

Channel drain covers are linear drainage systems used to capture rainwater and surface runoff before it can pool on hard standings, door thresholds or paved areas. Installed at low points or across openings, they direct water into a suitable drainage outlet and help protect surrounding surfaces from excess water.

They are commonly used at garage entrances, front doors, patios, driveways, garden rooms, commercial doorways and pedestrian walkways. In these areas, threshold drains help reduce slip risks, limit water tracking indoors and prevent water collecting against buildings.

This category includes complete channel drain systems, replacement grating covers, corner units, end caps, outlets and connectors. Grating options may include galvanised steel, aluminium, composite or decorative finishes such as Corten effect, allowing the drainage run to suit both practical and visual requirements.

For domestic paving projects, channel drains are often installed along patio edges, in front of bifold doors or at the base of sloped driveways. In commercial settings, they are used where frequent runoff needs controlled collection and discharge.

When selecting a channel drain, check channel width, outlet compatibility, grating material and expected loading. Pedestrian areas may suit lighter systems, while vehicle trafficked areas require products rated for the intended load. Correct bedding, fall and outlet connection are key to reliable drainage performance.
