Intuitive joint

Joint system allows for minor obstacles to be avoided without the need for 45 degree units. A radius of 13-15 m (Left and Right) can be created by using only straight units.
Straights, 45 degree angle trough, gradients and T-junctions all available in 6 sizes, together with accessories and an elevated system to meet any requirement.

Secure lid

GREEN TROUGH reliably prevents lid movement as a result of tilting, vibration, and wind.

3 types of lid fixation

Clasp

Screw

Band

Load bearing

It is possible to walk on GREEN TROUGH.
Withstands 4.9 kN/500 mm.

Impact resistant

GREEN TROUGH sustains only minor damage when dropped from a height of 0.7 m.
GREEN TROUGH can still be used even if dropped during installation as it receives no structural damage.

After a free fall test

Flame resistant

GREEN TROUGH will self extinguish in under 60 seconds after flame source is removed.

* The confirmation method is based on JESC E7003.
Non-halogen.

Extremely durable

Resistant to salt damage and snow melting agents.
Excellent weather resistance.
Equivalent to 50 years in compliance with our original accelerated UV test.

Processing

Significantly reduces labour time. GREEN TROUGH can be easily manually handled, installed and processed using basic hand tools. Overall ‘installed cost’ is reduced when compared with concrete alternatives.
