Custom Orders and Enquiries
Our stainless steel tile insert drains are manufactured to order in our workshop located just south of Sydney NSW Australia. We deliver our custom linear drains Australia wide and pride ourselves on delivering our superior product on time at a competitive price.
All materials used in manufacturing our Aussie made linear drains and grates use high quality 316L stainless steel. We don’t use any plastic fittings, meaning your drain product is built to last.
Fabrication of our strip drains, grates and linear drains is completed using a TIG welding process and passivated (coated to protect) upon completion, resulting in a stainless finish, with high quality welded joins and fittings that will last.
Any exposed edges on your drains are polished to a 600G finish to ensure your quality strip drains are also great looking with an aesthetic finish to suit your bathroom, shower or swimming pool, balcony, or driveway drain project.
We’re 100% Australian owned and operated, and you’ll be dealing direct with the owners, who will complete your order from your first enquiry, to production and then despatch.

FAQ
A linear drain is a long, narrow channel that efficiently collects and directs surface water to a single outlet. It provides a modern, minimalist look and allows for superior water flow compared to traditional point drains¹.
Where can I install a linear drain?
Linear drains can be installed in bathrooms, walk-in showers, wet rooms, balconies, patios, pool decks, and driveways — anywhere effective surface drainage is needed.
Why choose stainless steel?
Stainless steel is strong, hygienic, and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for both indoor wet areas and outdoor environments exposed to moisture and chemicals.
What grades of stainless steel are available?
- AISI 304 stainless steel is sometimes used indoors but is not offered by Strip Drains due to its inferior quality.
- AISI 316 stainless steel (marine grade) is ideal for outdoor or coastal areas due to superior corrosion resistance.
Are stainless steel drains rust-proof?
They are highly resistant to rust and corrosion. With proper care and cleaning, stainless steel drains maintain their finish and performance for many years.
Are Strip Drains available in brass?
Yes. We also manufacture custom drains from 2mm brass. Brass is highly corrosion-resistant and selected for its premium aesthetic appeal.
Design & Installation
What sizes are available?
We custom manufacture each drain to exact requirements. We offer four standard stainless steel profiles and one brass profile, available with either tile insert or wedge wire trays.
Can I design a drain with a custom profile?
Yes. With in-house laser cutting, CNC folding, welding, abrasive blasting and powder coating, we can manufacture virtually any custom drainage solution.
What is the maximum tile thickness for tile insert trays?
Standard trays accept up to 12mm tiles, we also offer a tray for 20mm tiles.
- 70mm x 24mm
- 97mm x 25mm
- 115mm x 25mm profiles.
The 100mm x 40mm tray accepts up to 14mm tiles.
Tile insert trays for thicker tiles are available on request. We also fabricate tile insert drains to fit 20mm tiles.
Can the drain be cut to size on site?
We do not recommend site modification. Our stainless steel trays are thick and difficult to cut with hand tools.
Where should the drain be positioned?
Along the wall, at the shower entrance (barrier-free), or centrally depending on slope layout and design.
What floor slope is required?
A single-direction recommended slope minimum of 2% (20mm per metre) toward the drain is recommended. Installers should seek advice on local council requirements.
Can it be used with any flooring?
Yes. Suitable for tile, stone, resin, vinyl, or concrete floors (with correct waterproofing).
Performance & Maintenance
How much water can it handle?
Depending on size and outlet, drains handle approximately 30–60 litres per minute, suitable for high-flow showers and outdoor use.
Are they easy to clean?
Yes. Grates can be lifted with the supplied key for easy cleaning.
How do I clean a stainless steel drain?
Use warm water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads.
Can it withstand outdoor weather?
Yes. 316 stainless steel resists UV, salt corrosion, and freezing conditions.
