Functional, Sustainable, Economical And Decorative: Ideal Quality Standards For A Grating

By Linda Robbins


Usability and aesthetic value have been the design standards for drain grates. The principal purpose of this type of architectural product, however, is to help structures against flooding. Nowadays, architects have stopped debating which between function and form matters most. Landscape products such as Jonite are used for drain grating design that goes beyond mere functionality. Jonite grates provide artistry as well as numerous other advantages over standard grates.

Jonite reinforced stone grates consist of mineral oxides and substrates of natural stone. This product is formed through a process of vacuum and compression. Furthermore, testing has been done on all Jonite products for durability, sustainability and safety to assure their buyers. Property developers can rest easy with the fact that Jonite holds a certification to BS EN124.1994 international standard.

And then there is the form, which complements the function of every Jonite reinforced stone grating product. Jonite employs a team of creative designers of stone grates to work together in designing different patterns, colors, and cuts of drain grates. Thus, property developers can customize Jonite decorative drain grates, keeping in mind the uniqueness of each structure they are building.

People can follow architectural design requirements easily with this unique product. The texture can be used for designing, and it can even be modified. Colors and hues can go with design specs. Patterns can follow a building structure's visual design. Furthermore, Jonite decorative drain grates are eco-friendly. In fact, Jonite products sport the MR Credit 4 rating and Green Label certification from the LEED Label and the Singapore Building Construction Authority, respectively. These are for recycled content as well as low carbon emissions.

Not so long ago, building manufacturers utilized steel as the primary material for creating drainage grates. These gratings made of steel were definitely functional, but it did nothing to improve the visual aspect of a place. Luckily, Jonite reinforced grating is not just functional and decorative but also sustainable.
