Drain Center’s new product
guide is now available
for download
DRAIN Center, Wolseley’s specialist
supplier of above and below ground
drainage products, has introduced a
new and improved product guide. The
guide includes new product sections
for the civil and utilities sectors, and
all items are in colour-coded sections,
clearly categorised by supplier.
The 225-page guide features newly
expanded product ranges in above
and below ground drainage, including
a wider range of rainwater harvesting
systems and the new Marley Waterloc
250 in the Stormwater Management
section. This reflects the growing
demand for these systems in light
of legislation such as The Code
for Sustainable Homes, which sets
ambitious targets for water efficiency
standards in new-build housing.
Daniel Cheung, Drain Center marketing
manager, commented: “Throughout the
newly designed guide we have included
helpful profiles on key suppliers and
their product ranges in order to provide
as much information to our customers
as possible and to help them select
the most suitable product for their
requirements.”
The free Drainage Product Guide is
available fromall Drain Center branches,
and is also available for download from
the Drain Center website.
