Overflow Grating: Choosing Between Designs
The Role of Overflow Gratings
Overflow gratings serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. They channel surface water to the balance tank while providing a safe, comfortable edge for swimmers.
Design Options
Standard Grid Pattern
The most common design, offering good flow capacity and easy maintenance. Ideal for competition and public pools where function takes priority.
Nefertiti Model
Waterstar's signature design combines elegant aesthetics with superior flow characteristics. The unique pattern is inspired by ancient Egyptian artistry, making it a statement piece for luxury residential and hotel pools.
Anti-Slip Considerations
All overflow gratings must meet anti-slip requirements. Look for ratings of R10 or higher for barefoot wet areas. Waterstar gratings exceed international safety standards.
Material Selection
Our gratings are available in UV-stabilized PVC and PP materials. Both offer excellent chemical resistance and decades of service life.
Installation Tips
- Ensure level installation for even water distribution
- Allow for thermal expansion in long runs
- Use corner pieces for clean transitions
