Lauxes Grates Standard Floor Grate is an anodised aluminium drainage system engineered for high-traffic residential and commercial wet zones. This 23mm deep profile features a Class B load rating of 10.2 tons and 100% UV stability, ensuring structural integrity in exposed coastal or outdoor environments.
The system eliminates subfloor plumbing modifications by allowing the waste outlet to be positioned anywhere along the tray, while its onsite trimmable design and seamless joiners accommodate continuous runs. When planning installations, account for 200mm of anodising wastage on 3m and 5.6m lengths and avoid acidic tile washes to prevent finish failure.
