What is the difference between a one-piece and two-piece floor drain?
A one-piece floor drain has an integrated basket and body — easier installation, lower price, ideal for new builds. A two-piece drain features a detachable frame and grate — simplifies future replacement and height adjustment after floor pouring. Choose two-piece if you plan grate swaps or floor renovations.
Which industrial floor drains to choose for a car wash?
For car washes we recommend drains with large sediment baskets (catch sand and mud), load class D400 or E600 (cars and trucks) and V4A steel — resistant to road salt, detergents and acids. DN 150 or DN 200 outlet for high flow. See our
car wash drainage range.
What load class for a hall with forklift trucks?
For forklifts up to 5 t — load class D400 (400 kN). For 5–10 t or heavy traffic — E600. F900 for the heaviest loads (machine foundations, steel warehouses). Always consider maximum point load per wheel and select a higher class than needed.
Do you offer floor drains with trap?
Yes. A trap prevents odours from the sewer — recommended for breweries, dairies, pharma and staff areas. We supply factory-fitted traps and retrofit adapters. Free advice available during quotation.
What sizes of floor drains are available?
Standard outlets: DN 100, DN 150, DN 200, DN 250. Body sizes: 200×200, 250×250, 300×300, 400×400 mm (square) and Ø200, Ø300, Ø400 mm (round). Custom shapes (oval, rectangular) made to order from your drawings.
How to install a floor drain in an existing floor?
Two options: (1) cut out a section of floor, install the drain with rigid connection to the sewer and repair with resin or stainless steel; (2) use a surface-mounted drain with top outlet for temporary solutions. We advise after site visit or photos of the substrate.
