Drainage for the Open Plan House

Stormtech’s Threshold Drainage marries exquisite low-impact design with excellent drainage possibilities for today’s open-air home designs

The threshold has emerged today as a hallmark of chic, sleek and practical drainage, and a cornerstone of today’s trendsetting ‘bring the outdoors in’ design movement.

The low-profile design consists of an external lineal grate which sits flush beside the doortrack, in precise alignment with the ground surface. An integrated, concealed, subsill collects water flows and condensation around the doorway, conveying it to the external drainage system.

Threshold’s streamlined, low-impact, structure ensures excellent drainage possibilities between the indoor/outdoor divide.
