Complete the Look
Elegant gratings to deliver an aesthetic surface finish and effective drainage
Select from ACO’s Complete the Look gratings and combine with an ACO channel to deliver both an aesthetic surface finish and effective drainage for your paved surfaces.
- Select a grate to complement your aesthetic: Make your ACO channel drainage disappear, stand out or blend in against your paving.
- Effective surface drainage: All gratings are compatible with ACO’s HexDrain® and RainDrain® channels, which deliver effective surface drainage for most domestic installations.*
- Carrying the load: Each grating is tested to withstand either pedestrian (A 15 load class) or vehicle traffic (B 125 load class).
*A 10m run of HexDrain or RainDrain could drain up to 145m² paved area during a 50mm per hour rainfall event (in accordance with the guidance in Building Regulations for England 2015 Section H3 2.4).

We want more from the outdoors. Outside is the new inside, with gardens replicating interior living spaces for cooking, dining and relaxing. We craft these spaces from a broad plate of porcelain and natural stone.
Yet we live in a changed world of increased rainfall. If we pave over the rain-absorbing ground, we need effective drainage to manage the rainwater runoff from paving.
Experience the art of modern drainage with ACO’s Complete the Look gratings. The drainage channel is elevated into an architectural and artistic component of garden design while delivering effective drainage. Explore how technical excellence generates artistic drainage.
Morph drainage into paving joins to realise minimalism.

Complete the Look gratings fit both ACO HexDrain® and RainDrain® channels. These are supplied without gratings, to which the grating of choice is added from the range above.
Ensure the load class of the grating and channel match for either pedestrian (A 15) or vehicle (B 125) installation. HexDrain channels are rated A 15; RainDrain channels are B 125. An A 15 grating on a B 125 channel will only be rated for pedestrian use.
