Heelguard, also known as wedge-wire, is our most popular and versatile grate pattern. It features narrow gaps that are safe for high heels, walking sticks, and paws, while still moving a massive volume of water. At Vincent Buda and Company, our Heelguard is built from premium materials to provide a luxury finish that lasts a lifetime.
Heelguard is the standard for modern architecture. It looks expensive, feels solid, and is significantly safer than traditional wide-slotted grates. Whether you need it for a driveway, a pool, or a public plaza, it is the professional's choice. Vincent Buda and Company stocks Heelguard in multiple materials and classes, available for same day (Sydney Metro) or next day delivery.

Swimming Pool Areas: Comfortable for bare feet and safe for small children.
Commercial Lobbies: Stylish drainage for hotel and modern office building entries.
