ACO gives drainage systems a face of their own

Line drainage is the core business of ACO worldwide. For more than half a century we have been a leader in this particular field of drainage technology. Despite the apparent simplicity of the product, innovation remains our greatest strength. In recent years, the application of slotted channels and special design gratings has taken off. 

Urban Design

Whereas traditional grating gutters do not always match the intended appearance of a project, slotted gutters or gratings with a special design actually provide a clear signature. The practical must of drainage thus turns into Urban Design and contributes to a project's own identity. 

Everything under one roof

Urban Design gutters occupy a prominent place in our line drainage program. Such an important place, in fact, that a product specialist and draftsmen take care of these tailor-made solutions. Your idea is the basis for our work. This is what we get to work with. We think of everything, down to the smallest detail. Because we have a good knowledge of materials and know what is technically possible and what is not, you will not encounter unpleasant surprises. On the contrary! By a complete guidance of your project, from beginning to end, you are sure of the final result! We provide you with a 'tailor-made' suit of only the best quality. That is what we stand for!

Freestyling with ACO!

With the Freestyle grate, we offer you the unique opportunity to freely design the visible surface of a cast iron grate. You design - we take care of the details! In a simple way, imaginative design sketches can be realized. All you need is an idea. We can supply the gratings according to your wishes, for example with a non-slip surface texture and slot widths of only 8 mm. So safety is not neglected either!

Cost savings with the ACO PowerDrain-I Sealin

Under the Freestyle gratings, as well as our slotted gutters, we increasingly apply the (r)evolutionary polymer concrete PowerDrain-I Sealin gutter. This more than meets the water tightness requirements of EN1433 and BRL5211 (KOMO). No concrete sheathing is required on a sufficiently load-bearing substrate, so processing this line channel saves a great deal of time during the construction phase. But there is more. Because thanks to the EPDM seal of the Sealin, sand and water can no longer seep between the channel elements and damage to structures and contamination of groundwater is prevented. Moreover, sealing the elements together is no longer necessary thanks to this Sealin technology. This also saves time and therefore money during the construction phase.

#askACO

We are happy to make our knowledge available, so that better thought-out and feasible solutions can be implemented more quickly. "AskACO" is what we call that. Designers, contractors and clients may use this "way of working" free of charge. ACO provides the drainage expertise and you keep final control. So do you have a question about water monitoring, collection, cleaning, retention and drainage? #askACO.
