Drexus Pave Drain
Set to Change the Face
of Landscape Design
Drainage has long been considered a purely functional
element of any design. So much so that it’s often something
landscape architects try to hide to ensure it doesn’t detract from
the overall look and feel of the space.
Essentially drainage is viewed as a necessary evil, with functional
grated systems being the traditional go-to solution. But that’s
all now set to change. In a huge leap forward for the industry,
landscape architects no longer need worry about how to
incorporate drainage or conc eal it from view. In fact, there’s now a
reason to actively embrace it.
Marshalls, the UK’s leading hard landscaping provider, now
supplies drainage that blends with concrete paving and natural
stone products.
With Drexus Pave Drain, Marshalls can provide a discreet natural
stone topped drainage solution in the exact same material as the
paving that surrounds it. This means the drainage can either blend
into the landscape to effectively hide it, or be contrasted to offer
some form of delineation to frame a public space and create a
design feature.
Delineation
In busy, multi-use spaces which require demarcation, Pave Drain
can be used as an effective delineator to distinguish between
pedestrian, vehicular and cycle areas instead of a prominent kerb
or edging.
A line of drainage can also be supplied in a contrasting colour to
be used as a border around a public space. As the product can now
be rendered in the same texture and material, it no longer looks
unsightly but instead functions as a design feature in its own right.
At a time when living space is at a premium and keeps having to
work harder, Drexus Pave Drain can provide subtle yet effective
demarcation, creating the sort of zoning that allows great public
areas to do all that’s increasingly being asked of them.
Blending
Where a landscape architect still wants to hide the drainage,
thanks to Pave Drain it can now be created in the same material
and colour as the surrounding paving – allowing it to be subtly
integrated into the paving design.
Marshalls’ Drexus Pave Drain provides the perfect solution,
offering a unique aesthetic for linear drainage. Utilising Marshalls’
