Freestyle

Integrating external surface drainage design into Architecture.

The ACO Freestyle offering is a unique customer-led grating design solution, which gives Architects and commercial property owners the freedom to create fully-bespoke drainage grating designs for the external environment

ACO are world leaders in the field of Surface Water Management and our knowledge in designing and manufacturing a wide range of grates for our drainage channels, has allowed us to offer our customers a chance to utilise this expertise.

With ACO Freestyle you have the freedom to create your own drainage designs that integrate into the architecture and materials of the building envelope, that extend and emphasise different aspects of the building, compliment the paving and landscape choices, all while keeping the ground free from surface water.

Freestyle grates are manufactured at ACO’s foundry in Germany from Ductile iron. Freestyle grates are compatible with standard ACO MultiDrain MD/PPD channels, are load class D 400 and incorporate ACO’s Drainlock™ boltless locking system.

With the option to access a number of pre-moulded designs, as well as create something completely unique, which ACO will manufacture for you, Freestyle allows greater creative control of the external landscape.

Whilst drainage is largely built for the outside environment, ACO Freestyle means that channel drainage is no longer an outsider to the world of design.
