NEW 300mm Addition to Allproof Commercial Channel Range

Allproof has expanded its Commercial Channel Drain range with the addition of a 300 mm clear opening channel. This larger option increases surface water catchment and capacity, complementing the already popular 200 mm clear opening channel introduced in 2021.

The Allproof Commercial Channel is manufactured from 100% recycled polypropylene, delivering a durable, long-service-life product that reduces landfill waste and supports sustainable construction practices.

Recycled polypropylene provides excellent physical performance while extending the life cycle of plastic and lowering embodied carbon. Allproof’s zero-waste ethos includes on-site recycling processes to ensure all production scrap is reused.

Allproof also powers its main production facility with 449 solar panels, generating clean energy and preventing approximately 50 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually. These initiatives further reduce the environmental impact of the recycled commercial drainage range.

High-Capacity Surface Water Management
The 300 mm wide clear opening provides excellent catchment performance for large areas with impervious finishes, such as:

  • Commercial plazas
  • Car parks
  • Industrial yards
  • Large-scale pedestrian areas

The channel features a 150 mm depth, striking the right balance between hydraulic capacity and reduced excavation labour, lowering both installation time and costs.

Lightweight & Durable
Recycled polypropylene creates a lightweight yet strong channel system. Benefits include:

  • Faster installation times
  • Reduced manual handling risks
  • Lower transport emissions and costs
  • Less risk of product breakage on site

The channel is designed to utilise the surrounding concrete for structural strength, ensuring a long-lasting, reliable solution for high-traffic commercial applications.

Grate Options for Any Application
Allproof offers a variety of grate options designed for safety and performance:

  • Wedge Wire (WW) – 316-grade stainless steel, excellent corrosion resistance for coastal and marine environments, R11 slip resistance (AS 4586), and Load Class B (AS 3996) rating for light vehicle traffic.
  • Heelproof Cast Iron (HCI) – Load Class D (AS 3996) rating for heavy commercial vehicles, P5 slip resistance, and high durability for demanding traffic areas.
  • Galvanised Steel (GAL) – economical solution with Load Class B rating and excellent hydraulic performance thanks to a large open area.

All grates are heelproof, mobility aid-friendly, and bicycle tyre safe, with secure fixings to prevent unauthorised removal or movement under vehicular loading.
