We have a wide selection of Roof, Floor and specialised application drain products, as well as the ability to custom-build new products or adapt current products to suit unique requirements.

We have however, several Roof and Floor Drain products that our customers regularly use as `go to` drains for outdoor areas; roofs, podiums and balcony areas, as well as internal area floor surfaces.

To assist with your selection, we have provided a page of our more frequently requested Roof and Floor drains.

Feedback provided to us from our customers indicates that these selected drain products are chosen for their proven performance, visually pleasing looks, long lasting functionality, and ease of installation, as well as being well priced for their purpose and comparative to other suppliers.

Flowrates

When selecting a drain for your application you will need to have knowledge of the maximum amount of water that the drain will be exposed to. Roof and Floor Drains may not be continuously exposed to water, however consideration should be given for times when abnormal conditions may exist.

The flow of water for most indoor Floor Drain uses can be anticipated. Outdoor Roof and Podium drains have the added complexities of the maximum rainfall anticipated for the area, size of gutter and down piping, as well as the slope and strength of affected surfaces.

Your Engineer or Architect will be able to provide information relating to the drain capacity for your application.

The primary development focus of the SPS range of drains, roof drains especially, is the water flow through the grate and upper drain body system.

To assist with your selection of Roof or Floor drains, and the number of drains required for the area being serviced, we have tested the water flow rates for a range of our SPS roof and floor drains.

The testing has been completed using dedicated Flow Rate testing equipment. The results have been independently certified using recognised AHSCA Gutter Outlet Testing procedures.

Within the Flow Rate section of our website, flow rate testing data results for varying levels of water are detailed and graphically displayed for each of the tested drains.
