Bodenausläufe

Bodenausläufe, also known as floor drains or trench drains, are essential components in many buildings and outdoor areas, designed to collect and remove unwanted liquids from surfaces. Their primary function is to prevent water accumulation, which can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and slippery, hazardous conditions.

These drainage systems are typically installed in areas prone to wetness, such as bathrooms, kitchens, shower stalls, patios, garages, and industrial facilities. They consist of a grate or cover that allows water to enter, leading to a drainage channel or pipe that directs the liquid away to a sewer system or other designated disposal area. The grate also serves to prevent larger debris from entering the drainage system, thus minimizing the risk of blockages.

Bodenausläufe come in various designs and materials to suit different applications. Common materials include stainless steel, cast iron, and plastic, chosen for their durability, resistance to corrosion, and aesthetic compatibility with the surrounding environment. The size and shape of the drain, as well as the capacity of the connected piping, are determined by the expected volume of liquid to be drained. Proper installation and regular maintenance are crucial to ensure the effective and long-term performance of bodenausläufe, preventing issues like odors and pest infestation.
