FLAT ROOF DRAIN
A flat roof drain is an essential component of any rainwater drainage system, designed to efficiently drain rainwater from flat or low-slope roofs. Unlike traditional gutters, flat roof drains are installed directly on the roof surface, allowing rainwater to flow smoothly into the drainage system without pooling or causing water damage. Equipped with a dome-shaped grate, these drains prevent debris, leaves, and other materials from entering the system, reducing the risk of clogging and ensuring consistent performance. By effectively managing roof runoff, flat roof drains help protect both the structure of the building and its surroundings from water-related issues.
