The passive capillary surface drainage system
with unique special intelligent fleece for solid laid ceramic coverings.

AquaDrain® FE+ raises the whole area of the screed and surface covering, leaving no points of contact with the screed. Water that has seeped in through the joints flows in drainage channels to the roof or balcony gutter or to the ground-level drain – without causing damage.

Advantages of AquaDrain® FE+

  • Intelligent fleece protects against limescale.
    Once the laying mortar has hardened, the fleece gradually disintegrates. This avoids the pores of the fleece becoming blocked by limescale deposits.
  • Water shedding capacity up to 33 times better than other industrial drain mats.
    Leading to quicker, longer-term drainage of the structure. Damage due to accumulated water is avoided.
  • Capillary-breaking function provides reliable protection from frost damage caused by accumulated water and efflorescence
  • Can be also be used for low door threshold heights in a system with AquaDrain® drain grates.
  • Since its introduction in 1985, the AquaDrain® FE system has been in use with no instances of damage.
  • 6 year warranty for specialist companies.
