If you’ve ever noticed rainwater pooling around your patio doors or creeping towards your home after heavy rainfall, a threshold channel drain could be the solution. At Trusted Building Supplies, we supply high-quality Threshold Channel Drains designed to manage surface water efficiently and protect your home from damp and flooding.
What Are Threshold Channel Drains?
Threshold channel drains are low-profile drainage systems that sit neatly in front of doors, patios and external entrances. They collect excess water and divert it away from your property, preventing moisture from seeping inside. Designed for domestic areas with light foot traffic, most threshold drains fall under the A15 load class, making them perfect for garden patios, paths and doorways.
Why You Need a Threshold Drain at Your Patio Doors
Without proper drainage, rainwater can quickly build up against door frames and cause long-term damage to your property. Threshold channel drains provide a simple and effective way to prevent this. Their sleek design ensures a flush finish against paving or decking, reducing trip hazards while improving water flow away from your home.
They’re especially useful beneath bi-fold, sliding or French doors where water runoff tends to accumulate. A well-installed threshold drain not only keeps your home dry but also helps protect expensive floor finishes and timber frames from damp or rot.
Key Benefits of Installing Threshold Channel Drains
- Protects your home by stopping surface water from entering through door thresholds
- Discreet and low-profile design that blends seamlessly into patios, paths and decking
- Easy to install with interlocking channels and matching accessories
- Durable A15 load class for pedestrian areas and garden entrances
- Made from recycled plastic and fully recyclable for an eco-friendly choice
Where to Use Threshold Channel Drains
These surface water drainage systems are ideal for any outdoor area where rainwater collects near doors or walls. Popular uses include:
- Along patio doors and garden entrances
- In front of bi-fold doors opening onto decking or paving
- Across terrace or balcony doors
- Below garage or conservatory doors where water can pool
For light-duty applications such as patios and pathways, our A15 Standard Channel Drains provide additional options. If you’re working on driveways or areas where vehicles pass, we recommend our B125 Channel Drains for a stronger, heavy-duty solution.
