⚡ At a Glance
  • Build Quality: Galvanised steel with a powder-coated anthracite finish
  • Best for: Homeowners and contractors needing a one-metre drainage cover with a tough finish
  • Not ideal for: Channels that require custom widths other than 1000 mm

Galvanised steel combines with a powder-coated anthracite surface and measures 1000 mm by 118 mm. Intended as a straightforward, durable grating to cover one-metre drainage channels.


Long-lasting protection – with galvanised steel and powder-coated finish

Galvanised steel provides a zinc barrier on the steel substrate while the powder-coated layer cures into a continuous polymer film, together reducing direct metal exposure to the elements.

Combined treatments improve resistance to corrosion and help maintain structural strength over time, reducing the need for early replacement.

Straightforward fit – with 1000 mm width and 118 mm length

Width of 1000 mm corresponds to a one-metre span; length of 118 mm describes the grating section size for each unit.

Covers a one-metre channel without cutting, simplifying installation and minimising on-site adjustments.

Low-maintenance finish – thanks to powder-coated anthracite

Powder coating produces a hard, even surface that reduces surface porosity and shields the underlying galvanised steel.

Surface cleaning is straightforward and the anthracite finish keeps appearance consistent with minimal upkeep.
