Bring clean, minimal drainage to any tiled surface with the Slimline Heelguard Slot Drain - a narrow-profile channel that keeps only a 30mm heelguard grate visible at the surface. The drain body is 70mm wide x 38mm deep overall, designed to sit flush against a wall or edge so tiling can run up to one or both sides. The 316 marine grade stainless steel construction makes it at home at pool surrounds, apartment balconies, and coastal courtyards. Sold in standard 1.5-metre lengths with a V-shaped base that channels water efficiently to the 65mm outlet, cut on-site to suit your plumbing layout.

Vincent Buda and Company has supplied quality drainage products since 1957. Accessories including joiners, end caps, and outlets are sold separately for on-site modification. The system is easy to clean with a high-pressure hose - the V base keeps water moving toward the outlet and prevents pooling. Vincent Buda and Company stocks the Slimline Heelguard Slot Drain for Same-day or next-day delivery within the Sydney Metro. Courier delivery available Australia-wide.

Key Features at a Glance

• Slimline Heelguard Profile: Only the 30mm heelguard grate is visible after installation, giving a refined, low-profile look without sacrificing drainage performance.
• Corrosion-Resistant 316 Steel: Built from 316 marine grade stainless steel for genuinely stainless steel performance at pools, coastal sites, and outdoor entertaining areas.
• Flush-Against-Wall Design: The one-sided slot means the drain can be pushed directly against a wall or threshold, with tiling running up to one or both sides.
• V-Base Water Flow: The V-shaped base directs water towards the outlet, reducing debris build-up and making pressure-wash maintenance quick and easy.

Primary Applications

• Pool Surrounds: Runs along the pool edge to collect deck water. The heelguard grate is heel-safe and pool-chemical resistant, blending neatly into the surround tiles.
• Apartment Balconies: Manages water runoff on tiled balconies where a compact, refined finish is required. The slim 70mm body fits tight spaces.
• Modern Courtyards: Set against a garden edge or perimeter wall to drain paved and tiled outdoor areas cleanly, without a bulky grate breaking up the surface.
• Commercial Thresholds: Provides continuous, heel-safe drainage at hotel entries, retail spaces, and hospitality venues where aesthetics and safety both matter.
