Drainage Design Guide

Paver Drainage Channel (ACO Brickslot 100): A Discreet, High-Performance Slot Drain for Pavers

A paver drainage channel safely moves surface water away from paved areas to prevent pooling, joint washout, and freeze-thaw damage. The ACO Brickslot 100 pairs a slim, 0.47″ (12 mm) slot with the proven KlassikDrain K100 channel (4″ internal width) for efficient hydraulics and a clean, nearly invisible look—ideal for pedestrian plazas, courtyards, and high-end landscaping.

Why Choose a Slot-Style Paver Channel?

Seamless aesthetics: The 12 mm slot aligns with paver joints for a discreet, continuous reveal. In plain terms: you get strong drainage performance without a bulky grate disrupting your pattern.

  • Efficient hydraulics: 4″ internal channel manages rainfall events without compromising paving layout.
  • Durability options: Compatible with galvanized or stainless edge rails for the environment you’re in.
  • Heel-safe: Offset slot geometry helps protect shoes and reduces trip points.
  • Maintainable: Access units make periodic cleaning simple with standard tools.

How the System Works (In Simple Terms)

The narrow slot you see at the surface is the intake. Below, a K100 channel carries water to your outfall (a drain line or sump). Think of it like a curb inlet, but miniaturized and neatly tucked into the paver joint.

Key Specs at a Glance

  • Surface Slot: 0.47″ (12 mm) slimline reveal aligns to paver joints
  • Channel Body: ACO KlassikDrain K100, 4″ internal width
  • Edge Rails: Galvanized or stainless steel
  • Safety: Heel-resistant, offset slot geometry
  • Maintenance: Access units available for quick cleanouts

Planning, Sizing & Installation Tips

1) Estimate Flow & Select Layout

  • Catchment area: Measure the paved area draining to the slot (include roofs if tied in).
  • Slope & outlets: Use natural site grade where possible; plan outlet locations before excavation.
  • Continuous runs: The K100 system supports long, continuous runs with consistent slot alignment.

2) Bed, Set & Align

  • Base prep: Compact sub-base; set channels on leveled concrete bedding.
  • Alignment: Keep the 12 mm slot centered to paver joints for a seamless reveal.
  • Access: Include access units at logical intervals for future cleaning.

3) Backfill, Pave & Seal

  • Backfill & surround: Use specified concrete surround to lock channel in place.
  • Paver install: Lay pavers flush to the slot edges; check for even reveals.
  • Sealant (if required): Apply jointing per paver manufacturer to prevent washout.

Case Study: Courtyard Refresh with Invisible Drainage

Setting: A 7,500 ft² mixed-use courtyard with premium stone pavers suffered from ponding after storms. Traditional grated drains clashed with the design and created maintenance headaches.

Solution: Designers specified the ACO Brickslot 100 over K100 channels along primary flow paths, aligning the 12 mm slot with paver joints for a continuous, low-visibility intake.

  • Why it worked: The slim slot preserved the luxury look; hydraulic capacity of the K100 managed peak flows.
  • Install highlights: Access units were added near downspouts and changes in direction for easy jet-clean maintenance.
  • Outcome: Standing water eliminated; reduced maintenance versus multiple point inlets; no visual clutter.

Takeaway: For premium plazas and courtyards, a slot-style paver channel delivers performance without sacrificing design intent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 12 mm slot safe for heels?

Yes. The heel-resistant offset slot geometry helps reduce snagging risks while maintaining intake capacity.

Can I use stainless for coastal or de-icing environments?

Yes. Choose stainless edge rails to improve corrosion resistance in harsh or saline conditions.

How do I clean the channel?

Include access units along the run. Routine maintenance is typically a quick jet or vacuum clean via these points.
