While ACO is the most well-known brand of channel drainage, but that doesn't mean there aren't good quality alternative options. Alternatives to ACO drain include ULMA channel drain and Clark drain. Whether you're looking for an equivalent quality or a lower-priced choice, we hold good stocks of all types of channel drainage.
What is ACO drain?
People sometimes call channel drainage ACO drain, however in reality, ACO is just one brand of drainage channel system. Channel drainage is an effective system for collecting rainwater in a linear channel with a grating over the top, often installed in paved areas or other hard landscaping.
Why do we recommend ULMA as an alternative to ACO?
Here at Drainfast, we've been supplying ULMA channel drainage since 2016 and have been impressed with how well their range of products perform. The range includes all load classes from A15 for pedestrian areas up to F900, suitable for use at airports. A variety of gratings are available to suit different aesthetics and includes a range of heel-proof options that prevent stiletto heels from getting trapped in the channel drains grating! Here is an example of how the product ranges compare:
- ULMA MultiV is similar to ACO M100,
- ULMA F system is similar to ACO S100
- ULMA U Kompaq is ULMA equivalent to ACO Road drain
In terms of pricing, ULMA is also competitive and, in some cases, more cost-effective. We hold good stock levels here at Drainfast, so get in touch today for a quotation, or send us your drawings and we can complete a take-off free of charge for you!
