TDS Exclusive Grates Add a Decorative Touch

Decorative grating takes another step forward with Trench Drain Systems Bronze Age™ decorative drainage grates. Designed for a variety of drainage systems. The grates are available in several patterns with many providing ADA-compliant and heel-friendly options.

Bronze grates are available in a natural or brushed (polished) finish. Aluminum grates are available in a natural cast finish.
