Garden drainage
Effective drainage for your garden
Optimise drainage in your garden and patio
Waterlogging in the garden is not always caused by too much decorative paving. However, it is essential that rainwater is drained away effectively. By collecting and draining rainwater within your own garden, you prevent strain on the sewer system and make your garden more self-sufficient. This is beneficial for your plants and contributes to a healthy garden.
ACO Easygarden: the solution for water drainage
Water drainage is a crucial aspect of garden design. Rainfall is becoming increasingly heavy and excess water can cause considerable damage. At the same time, prolonged periods of drought can dry out your garden. MBI recommends the use of ACO Easygarden drainage systems and drainage channels. Below you will find more information about effective water drainage for your garden and patio.
Effective drainage for your patio
Lay your patio on a slope
The first step in constructing your patio is to lay it with a slope towards the grass or borders. This ensures that water can be collected and drained away, possibly with the aid of drains or gutters. The extent to which the soil absorbs water determines what additional measures are necessary. Additional measures are essential for poorly draining soil.
Drainage channels for the garden
Euroline grating channel
Linear drainage prevents puddles from forming on your patio and driveway, resulting in less dirt and maintenance. With ACO Easygarden grating gutters, the entrance to your home, driveway, garage and patio remain accessible, even during heavy rainfall. The Euroline water gutter has a sleek design and fits perfectly with larger tiles.
Thin line gutter or slot gutter
Line gutters, ideal for large format tiles, are available in plastic, galvanised steel and stainless steel. Thin line gutters, also known as slot gutters, are largely covered and offer a minimalist and aesthetic appearance. Although they cannot be opened for cleaning, we recommend the use of inspection pieces at the beginning and end for necessary maintenance.
Slimline linear channel
The Slimline is a compromise between wide grating channels and narrow line channels. This channel has a narrow aluminium design grating and offers a sleek, modern look. With a width of only 6 centimetres, this channel is easy to install and connect to infiltration facilities or the sewer system. A perfect choice for a sleekly designed terrace.
Storing and infiltrating rainwater
Rainbloxx: sustainable water storage
After collecting rainwater, you can decide where it goes. With Rainbloxx, an environmentally friendly and sustainable infiltration system made of rock wool, you can keep the water in your garden to keep plants and trees moist. This system stores rainwater and gradually releases it into the garden during dry periods, reducing your need for drinking water. Rainbloxx makes your garden climate-proof and is easy to install and connect to line gutters, wells or a downpipe.
