Frequently Asked Questions
What is a heel guard grate?
A heel guard grate is a drain grate with a tight, narrow aperture pattern designed to prevent stiletto or narrow heels from catching. They're used in commercial and public spaces where standard slot drains would create a trip hazard.
What's the difference between a heel guard grate and a standard strip drain grate?
The gap between the bars. Heel guard grates have a much finer pattern. Standard grates prioritise drainage volume and have wider slots that aren't safe for heeled footwear. If your space sees a mix of foot traffic, the heel guard is the safer choice.
Are your heel guard strip drains WHS compliant?
Our grates are manufactured to meet relevant load-bearing and slip resistance requirements for commercial and government applications. Get in touch if you have specific compliance requirements for your project.
Can I order a heel guard grate to custom fit my project?
Yes. We manufacture to custom dimensions, so if you have an existing project or are working from an architect's spec, we can manufacture to order.
Do you ship outside Sydney?
Yes! We manufacture in Sydney and ship Australia-wide.
Who uses heel guard strip drains?

- Commercial bathrooms, change rooms, and amenities blocks
- Hotel lobbies, pool decks, and spa facilities
- Restaurant and hospitality venues

Why stainless steel?
All our heel guard grates are manufactured from 316L marine grade stainless steel. That means they handle moisture, vehicles, heavy foot traffic, and cleaning chemicals without corroding or degrading over time. They're built for the long term.
