Product Overview
1m surface water drainage channel designed for efficient collection and conveyance of rainwater from paved areas, paths, and driveways.
The ACO HexDrain system combines a lightweight polymer channel body with a durable black plastic grating to form a robust, easy-to-install linear drainage solution.
Manufactured from high-strength recycled polypropylene, the channel offers excellent resistance to weathering, thermal expansion, and corrosion. The honeycomb structure of the HexDrain body enhances rigidity while keeping weight low for practical handling on site.
Rated to A15 loading, the system is suitable for pedestrian areas, patios, gardens, and light-use driveways where only foot traffic or lightweight domestic vehicles occur. The black grating provides a discreet surface finish that blends cleanly with most paving materials.
Each 1m channel length features an interlocking end profile for fast connection and alignment, forming a continuous drainage run.
The design allows straightforward cutting and joining, and can be used with compatible ACO accessories including sump units, corner connectors, and end caps for complete system integration.

How delivery works
We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.

What to expect on delivery day
- Deliveries are typically kerbside.
- Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
- Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.
Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery
Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.
Returns
Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.
