Why Choose Lauxes Linear Drainage

Every Lauxes grate is made from anodised aluminium, engineered to hold up in both indoor and outdoor settings without rusting or corroding. That durability is backed by a lifetime rustproof guarantee, so once it's installed, it's one less thing to think about.

Lauxes grates are also designed for practical, on-site customisation, meaning installers can adapt them to fit the job rather than working around a fixed size, which is a big part of why the product installs quickly and sits flush with almost any flooring or tiling style.

Built for Tradies, Trusted by Homeowners

Whether it's a high-traffic outdoor entertaining area or a compact indoor bathroom, Lauxes drainage solutions are a go-to for builders, architects, tilers, and plumbers as well as homeowners renovating their own space. That popularity comes down to a combination of smart design, consistent quality, and a brand that keeps pushing the category forward with new innovations.

Certified & Compliant

Lauxes grates are certified under the Australian WaterMark Scheme (WMTS 040-2021), meeting the regulatory standards required for plumbing products used across Australia.

Anodised Aluminium: What It Means & Why It Matters

With over twenty years of combined trade experience, our developers have engineered anodised aluminium grates suited to every indoor and outdoor application.

What Is Anodising?

Anodising is an electrolytic process that converts the naturally porous surface of a metal into a hardened oxide layer. Rather than being a coating sitting on top, this oxide layer forms as part of the metal itself, thickening its natural protective barrier and significantly boosting its resistance to corrosion and abrasion.

Why Anodise Aluminium?

Anodising transforms raw aluminium into a stronger, longer-lasting material by building up an oxide layer with hardness approaching that of diamond. This layer is naturally corrosion-resistant, highly abrasion-resistant, and acts as an electrical insulator — a combination that makes anodised aluminium far more durable than the untreated metal.

Beyond performance, the process also delivers a design benefit: anodising produces a coloured anodic film that enhances and locks in aluminium's natural finish, rather than masking it. This blend of strength and aesthetics is what makes anodised aluminium such a reliable choice across residential, commercial, and industrial projects.

How to Clean Your Lauxes Grate

Linear floor grates are simpler to maintain than traditional grate styles. To keep your Lauxes grate performing and looking its best:

• Clean with warm, soapy water and a mild detergent
• Use a soft nylon brush or cleaning pad to clear debris from the drainage channel
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water
• Dry with a clean, soft cloth

Avoid: abrasive pads, acidic or harsh chemical cleaners, and excessive force on stubborn marks — these can damage the anodised finish over time.
