PolyDrain Shallow

Economical Polymer Concrete Channels

When performance matters on your project, our PolyDrain® Shallow polymer concrete drainage channels offer a practical and economical drainage solution. The initial cost of plastic and fiberglass trench drain may look attractive; however, the different thermal expansion coefficients between dissimilar materials and surrounding concrete repeatedly introduce extreme thermal stresses. These stresses can lead to fracture or deformation of the drainage channels. Most fiberglass and plastic materials are also extremely susceptible to UV degradation.

Under serviceable design loads and proper installation, polymer concrete can often outlast the life of the concrete slab. This superior quality makes our shallow-depth polymer concrete drainage channels top-of-the-line.

POLYDRAIN SHALLOW – Polymer Concrete Drainage Channels

FORMERLY KNOWN AS PICCOLO CHANNELS

PolyDrain Shallow Channels are a shallow polymer concrete trench drain channel system that offers a practical and economical drainage solution where slab depth restrictions dictate the necessity of a shallow drainage channel. PolyDrain® Shallow features our exclusive “Red Dot” locking blocks and can accept any standard PolyDrain grate. Special support legs attach to channel sides, expediting installation. Numerous outfall options are available, including solid end plates and vertical outlet connectors.

IMPORTANT ISSUES

NFPA REQUIRES NONFLAMMABLE TRENCH DRAINS

Selecting a fire-resistant shallow polymer concrete trench drain channel system should be common practice for any interior application. Trench Drains are often the collection points for flammable fluids and heavier-than-air vapors. As a result, even when empty, trenches can act as a pathway for flame spread. For more info, see our Flame and Smoke page.
