To be functional as well as to look nice have been the design standards for drain grates. The chief purpose of these architectural features is to help structures against flooding, however. Nowadays, architects have stopped debating which between function and aesthetics matters most. Building manufacturers such as Jonite provide drain grating design that goes beyond mere functionality. Jonite grates offer artistry as well as numerous other benefits over standard grates.

The ingredients used in manufacturing Jonite reinforced stone grates include substrates of natural stones and recyclable ingredients. This type of building product is formed through a process of vacuum and compression. Testing has been done on all products for durability, slip resistance, and bacterial resistance to assure their customers. Jonite's compliance with the BS EN124.1994 international standard gives building designers the assurance of the quality of its products.

And then there is the form, which complements the function of every Jonite reinforced stone grating product. Jonite develops a team of designers and architects of stone grates to work together in formulating different patterns, colors, and cuts of drain grates. As a result, Architects can customize Jonite decorative drain grates, keeping in mind the uniqueness of each structure they are building.

With this unique building product, people can follow architectural design requirements easily. The texture can be used for designing, and it can even be custom-manufactured. Colors and hues can go with design specs. Patterns can follow a building structure's visual design. Jonite decorative drain grates are also eco-friendly. In fact, Jonite products sport the MR Credit 4 rating and Green Label certification from the LEED Label and the Singapore Building Construction Authority, respectively. These certifications means that a building product is recyclable and emits low levels of carbon dioxide as well.

A few years ago, the material that was utilized around a property for protection against flooding were nothing more than steel grates. These gratings made of steel were definitely durable, but it did nothing to improve the aesthetics of a place. But with the innovation that Jonite product provides, property developers now have option to choose a drainage grating that is not only durable and decorative but also sustainable.
