Collection: Driveway Drains – Stainless Steel Linear Drainage for Driveways
A driveway drain is an essential part of modern property drainage design, preventing stormwater from flowing into garages, homes, and outdoor living areas. At Strip Drains, we manufacture premium stainless steel driveway drains designed to manage surface water efficiently while maintaining a clean architectural finish.
Our linear driveway drains are fabricated from marine-grade stainless steel and can be custom manufactured to suit residential driveways, commercial entries, car parks, and paved outdoor areas. Designed for durability and high water flow capacity, these drainage channels help protect your property from water damage while integrating seamlessly into modern paving, concrete, and stone driveways.

Stainless Steel Driveway Drains Built to Last
Strip Drains manufactures stainless steel driveway drains designed for long-term durability in demanding environments.
Unlike plastic or galvanised alternatives, stainless steel provides:
- Exceptional corrosion resistance
- High structural strength
- Long service life
- Minimal maintenance
- A modern architectural finish
Our drainage systems are fabricated using premium stainless steel, ensuring they perform reliably in outdoor environments exposed to rain, debris, and vehicle traffic.
Because our products are manufactured locally, we can offer flexible sizing and fast turnaround for custom projects.
Linear Driveway Drain Applications
A driveway drain channel can be installed in many residential and commercial situations where surface water needs to be captured and redirected.
Common applications include:
Residential driveways
Intercept stormwater before it reaches garage doors or entryways.
Sloping driveways
Prevent water flowing downhill toward the house.
Garage entrances
Install a linear drain across the threshold to stop water entering enclosed garages.
Commercial driveways
Suitable for retail developments, apartment buildings, and car parks.
Courtyards and paved outdoor areas
Provide discreet drainage while maintaining a clean paved finish.
Custom Driveway Drain Systems
Every driveway is different, which is why our driveway drainage channels can be manufactured in custom lengths to suit your project.
Our custom fabrication options include:
- Custom lengths
- Various outlet configurations
- Tile insert or grate options
- Powder-coated finishes (optional)
Stainless wedge wire grate designs
Custom manufacturing ensures the drain integrates perfectly with your driveway layout and stormwater system.
Linear Driveway Drain Installation
Driveway drains are typically installed:
- Across the garage entrance
- At the bottom of sloping driveways
- Along paved areas where water collects
The drainage channel is connected to a stormwater outlet, allowing captured water to flow safely into the drainage system.
Correct installation ensures the driveway surface falls slightly toward the drain so water flows efficiently into the channel.
