CREATING a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living areas takes a keen eye for design and attention to detail.
Bulky tracks and drainage for sliding and cantilevered doors can be a trip hazard and affect the aesthetic of a home's design.
Troy Creighton from linear drainage business Stormtech said it was not just aesthetics that need to be considered.
"While many people invest heavily in their home extension, creating generous open plan living spaces that combine the kitchen and lounge areas with the deck or patio, resolving the transition between the interior and exterior is sometimes an afterthought," he said.
"Selecting a narrow profile slimline drainage solution provides a level entrance to most thresholds and effectively clears rain water, with minimal impact to the overall design. It's a seamless transition that looks good and is also safer underfoot for the whole family."
Mr Creighton said Stormtech could finish its architectural grates to custom lengths, ready to combine with specialty threshold drain units, to suit any specific requirements.
"Stormtech accessories, such as waterproof LED lighting, offer a practical and elegant finish to an installation with added ambience for evening entertaining," he said.
"As an added tip, consider the unique design concerns or waterproofing requirements for your location and seek professional advice at the planning stage."
