Gatic FacadeSlot Linear Drainage Systems are purpose-engineered to deliver effective water management at the interface between external surfaces and building structures. Designed to be installed directly adjacent to façades, thresholds, and glazing systems, FacadeSlot provides a critical barrier against surface water ingress while maintaining a refined architectural finish.
The system features a continuous narrow inlet slot that integrates seamlessly into paved or hard landscaped areas. This ensures minimal visual disruption while delivering reliable hydraulic performance, efficiently capturing and channeling rainwater away from sensitive building interfaces.
FacadeSlot units are available in multiple configurations to accommodate varying design requirements, including different depths and outlet arrangements. This flexibility allows designers to tailor the system to suit specific site conditions, from light pedestrian zones to more heavily trafficked environments.
Built for durability, the system is resistant to environmental exposure, mechanical stress, and long-term wear. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance with minimal maintenance, making it a dependable solution for both new build and refurbishment projects.
Ideal for schemes where drainage performance, building protection, and architectural integration are equally important, Gatic FacadeSlot provides a precise, low-profile solution that enhances both function and design continuity.
