A drainage channel is used to drain rainwater away from areas around the home including paths, driveways and patios. This prevents the water from stagnating and potentially causing damage to the home. A good quality low profile channel drain system should be built using long-lasting parts, including a well-manufactured channel with connectors and end caps.
What is a Drainage Channel?
A drainage channel is a channel that sits within the ground and helps to reduce the number of drainage points required. It has been designed to carry various loads but commonly water. The benefits of having a drainage channel are enormous. As previously mentioned it avoids the need for a large number.
Are there different types of drainage channels?
There are two forms of channel drain: the channels that are designed with built-in falls and those are those with built-in falls that maintain a consistent depth alongside their whole length. Drainage channels with built-in falls tend to be used to drain larger and flatter surface areas like car parks. The ‘regular depth’ design is most commonly used on falls or declining areas.
