Stormtech has been providing inspiring architectural drainage solutions to architects and designers for the last 20 years. Used in bathrooms, showers, thresholds, paved areas, driveways, pools and pool surrounds, Stormtech grates and drains are known for sleek design, innovation and practicality.
Linear drain systems play a vital role in ensuring adequate drainage in internal and external locations. The use of grated drains is very popular in shower recesses, especially in designs using frameless screens and no step downs or hob designs.
As the pioneer of linear drains in Australia, Stormtech has been a Member of the Standards Australia Committee and involved in the writing of the code covering lineal drainage in bathrooms since 2006.
Stormtech linear drainage systems are made of high quality stainless steel and are manufactured in Australia; the system is modular which means they can be cut, on-site, to different lengths as required, and come in three different standard widths - 38 mm, 65 mm and 100mm. For site specific requirements, custom fabrication is also available. The system connects directly with all standard plumbing fittings and all products have a Watermark Standards Australia International certification.
Stormtech drains are used in prestige residential and commercial projects in Australia and internationally, such as the Crown Metropol in Melbourne, the Olivia Newton John Wellness Centre at the Austin Hospital in Melbourne, or the recent QT Hotel in Sydney.
The product range of Stormtech for residential and commercial applications includes:
