WATER MANAGEMENT
Made from Vienite – ACO’s polymer concrete material with recycled content – ACO RainDrain is described as the ideal system to complete a sleek and modern garden. Each individual channel fits with a simple interlocking system, which allows for a quick and easy installation. Its enhanced V-shaped profile also ensures a faster flow of water to minimise silt build-up.

PUSH FIT DRAINAGE
It’s the multi-layer technology in Polypipe Building Services’ Terrain Q that provides resistance to attack from UV radiation, fire and impact damage. The polypropylene, easy-to-install push fit system, also exhibits high stability, noise insulation and fire resistance, as well as high chemical and abrasion resistance and to high temperature waste of up to 97ºC.
ACOUSTIC SOIL
Purpose-designed with acoustics in mind, the Marley dBlue acoustic soil drainage system is proven to reduce noise to 10dB at 2 l/s, when using the Phonoklip bracket. This patented acoustic body bracket, encompasses a unique body section which works to absorb noise generated from the pipework into the building structure.
