Traditional Pattern Grates | High-Flow Drainage | Vincent Buda & Company

For projects where hydraulic performance is the absolute priority, the Traditional Pattern Grate is the industry standard. At Vincent Buda and Company, we supply these grates with larger open apertures, either longitudinal slots or classic squares, providing a seamless solution for capturing high-velocity water.

Every grate is Hot-Dip Galvanised (R3) Unlike finer patterns that can become easily blinded by leaves or large debris, the traditional profile maintains a consistent flow rate during heavy tropical downpours or flash flooding. Since 1957, we have been the primary supplier for trade-quality drainage components that pass council inspections and site requirements. Available for same day (Sydney Metro) or next day delivery.

Four Primary Applications:

• Sloped Driveways: Capturing rapid runoff before it reaches garage thresholds or basement entries.

• Council & Public Works: Meeting standard specifications for high-volume stormwater pits and kerb drains.

• Industrial Wash-down Bays: Efficiently clearing large volumes of water and sediment in commercial environments.

• Rural & Large Acreage Drainage: Managing heavy debris and high water loads where "heel-safe" patterns are not required.
