Lauxes Grates Waste Joiner 180° Pair is a precision-engineered anodised aluminium fitting designed for the structural extension of linear grate profiles in demanding architectural and coastal drainage systems. This mechanical press-fit system eliminates the need for primers or adhesives, preventing alignment drift and ensuring a rustproof connection that withstands chlorinated water and salt air exposure.
The colour-matched finishes including Silk Silver, Midnight Black, and Matte Gold provide seamless visual integration across long spans while maintaining the integrity of the designer anodised finish.
