FAQs

What is the load rating of the LUXE Threshold Drain Channel?

The LUXE Threshold Drain Channel has a Class A15 load rating, which means it can support a load of up to 1.5 tonnes. This is suitable for pedestrian traffic areas.

Can this channel be used for driveways or areas with cars?

No, due to its Class A15 load rating, this channel is not suitable for areas subject to vehicular traffic. It is designed for pedestrian walkways, patios, and entrances.

How do I connect multiple channels together?

The Luxe threshold channel drains are designed for easy connection. Simply push the end of one channel onto the start of the next until they click securely into place, ensuring a 100% watertight join.

What materials are the channel and grating made from?

The channel itself is manufactured from polypropylene, and the grating is made from silver aluminium.

What is the overall size of the channel?

Each 1-meter channel measures 1000mm in length, 58mm in width, and has an overall depth of 100mm. The slots on the aluminium grating are 8mm thick.

Are end caps and corner units available for this system?

Yes, end caps and corner units are available to create a fully integrated and sealed drainage system, allowing for custom configurations.

How should I clean the drainage channel?

Periodically remove any debris from the grating. Annually, remove the grating and flush the channel with water. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent and a soft brush.

Troubleshooting

Water not draining effectively.

Ensure the channel has a slight slope (minimum 1% fall) towards the outlet. Check for any blockages within the channel or at the end outlet. Verify that the end outlet is correctly connected to the main drainage system.

Channel appears to be leaking at joints.

Confirm that all channel sections, corner units, and end caps are fully engaged and clicked into place to ensure a watertight seal. Check for any damage to the sealing mechanism on the connection points.

Grating is loose or rattling.

Ensure the grating is correctly seated within the channel profile. If it is still loose, check if any locking mechanisms are present and properly engaged, or consider using a suitable sealant if designed for such.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for preventing water ingress at doorways and thresholds.
  • Aesthetically pleasing with its slim design and silver aluminium grating.
  • Simple to connect and install, reducing labor time.
  • Durable construction ensures long-term performance.
  • Suitable for a range of light-traffic outdoor areas.

Cons

  • Not suitable for areas with vehicular traffic due to its A15 load rating.
  • Requires careful installation to ensure a level surface and proper connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the trench according to the channel dimensions (1000mm L x 58mm W x 100mm D), ensuring a slight slope away from the building for gravity flow.
  2. Place the channel drain into the prepared trench, ensuring it is level or sloped correctly.
  3. Connect multiple channel units, corner units, or end caps as needed. Ensure all connections are pushed together firmly until they click into place, confirming a watertight seal.
  4. Secure end outlets to connect the system to existing drainage or a soakaway.
  5. Backfill around the channel with concrete or suitable aggregate, ensuring the top edge of the grating is accessible.

Compatibility:

  • This system is designed to work with Polycon Luxe accessory components like corner units and end outlets for a complete drainage solution.
  • End outlets are typically designed to connect to standard 110mm drainage pipes, but always verify compatibility with your specific plumbing system.

Care:

  • Periodically check the grating for debris and remove any leaves, dirt, or other obstructions.
  • Clean the channel interior annually or as needed by removing the grating and flushing the channel with water.
  • Use a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent if significant dirt accumulates. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
