Are you looking for a durable, low-maintenance, and easy-to-install solution for rainwater drainage along sidewalks, parking lots, or driveways? Then a PVC tiled drain is exactly what you need. This type of drain offers a perfect solution, especially for projects where reliability, speed of installation, and longevity are paramount.
At DWTN, we understand the importance of good drainage in public spaces and industrial applications. With a wide selection of PVC tile drains, we offer the right solution for a variety of situations, from smooth paving to heavily used areas.
What is a PVC tile path drain and when do you use it?
A PVC tiled gully is a compact version of the traditional street gully, specifically designed for installation in or along sidewalks, paved paths, or narrow lanes. Thanks to the use of a PVC base, this gully is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install. Tiled gully gullies are used to quickly and efficiently drain rainwater into the sewer system, preventing flooding in areas where large gullies traditionally wouldn't fit. Here are the main advantages:
-
Lightweight PVC base : easy to handle and install
-
Corrosion resistant : resistant to moisture, chemicals and dirt
-
Quick installation : ideal for serial installation of street drains
-
Efficient drainage : prevents stagnant water and nuisance
-
Suitable for various applications : including sidewalks, driveways and parking lots.
A street drain for tiled paths is often combined with a fine-mesh cast iron grate, so that sludge, leaves and coarse dirt have no chance to clog the sewer.
Commonly used designs and sizes
Tiled path drains are available in several versions. The most popular version is the PVC tiled path drain complete with a 125 mm spigot, featuring a sturdy PVC base and a robust cast iron grating. The most common sizes are:
-
Base diameter : 250 mm or 315 mm
-
Exhaust : spigot 125 fits on standard PVC pipes
-
Grill : hinged cast iron, for easy inspection
The correct size depends on the expected volumes and the installation situation. For intensive applications or larger surfaces, it is best to choose A model with a 315 mm base . At DWTN we supply, among other things:

Want to know more about the applications? Visit our page on rainwater harvesting and reuse . What applications is a PVC tiled path drain ideal for? Think of public sidewalks and pavements, parking lots and driveways, areas with light traffic, or near facades or walls where a standard drain is too large.
Note: A standard PVC gully is less suitable for heavy traffic. In that case, we recommend a reinforced version or a model with a concrete base.
