Which System Is Right for You?

Choose pro P when…

Residential & light commercial

  • Class D 400 is sufficient — driveways, car parks, entrances
  • Corrosion-free rail with zero maintenance is a priority
  • Discreet aesthetic — edge must blend with paving
  • Budget is a key constraint
  • Coastal or chemical exposure (no metal to corrode)

Choose tec V when…

Roads, car parks & public infrastructure

  • Class E 600 needed — roads, car parks, terraces, airports landside
  • Compact NW 100 footprint desired — low excavation
  • Wide grate selection matters (Class A–E, multiple materials)
  • Built-in slope is needed for longer drainage runs
  • Cost-effective galvanized protection is sufficient

Choose pro G when…

Heavy industry, airports & F 900 sites

  • Class F 900 required — the only BG-FILCOTEN® system that achieves it
  • Extreme dynamic loads — industrial vehicles, aircraft, race tracks
  • Wider channels needed — NW 100 to 400 mm
  • Maximum flow capacity required (up to 96.5 L/s)
  • 4-point bolt-down grates are specified for safety

What is FILCOTEN® HPC?

High Performance Concrete.

Technology in harmony with nature

BG-FILCOTEN® HPC (High Performance Concrete) is a high-density micro-structure concrete material which allows the construction of drainage channels in a lightweight design with the same stability and load class as conventional concrete systems.

BG-FILCOTEN® HPC is unique when it comes to environmental friendliness thanks to the sparing use of raw materials and due to the fact that it is tested for hazardous materials⁴⁾ guaranteed as harmless in terms of the biological standards of construction, as IBR certified³⁾, 100% recyclable²⁾

BG-FILCOTEN® is still unrivaled in the market place, being admired for its sustainability and its unique channel strength. FILCOTEN® complies with the EN 1433 standard and the ASTM A1 12.6.8.2001 floor and trench drain standard.

The high impact resistance and stability of FILCOTEN® ensures easy, quicker installation, and greater safety when installing the channels.

Key benefits/ features:

  • High-performance mineral concrete (dense, low-capillary, optimized structure)
  • High strength and frost resistant
  • Fire protection class A1
  • Expansion coefficient identical to concrete
  • UV resistant
  • Compressive strength far exceeding the requirements of EN 1433
  • Low water absorption and penetration
  • 100% recyclable – quality class U-A²⁾
  • IBR certified³⁾, free from: VOCs, styrol⁴⁾ and biozides, heavy metals, radioactivity.

High Compressive Strength

A high quality cement mixed with a great proportion of fibers enables thin-walled channel design while yielding a very high compression strength. BG-FILCOTEN® channels are therefore lighter yet easily out perform most competitors.

70% Lighter

FILCOTEN® channels are up to 70 % lighter than conventional concrete channels. This is a huge savings in terms of fuel consumption. BG-FILCOTEN® is committed to conserving resources and decreasing its -40°F (-40°C) proportional CO2 emissions. The lower weight also facilitates on site installation.

Non-flammable

While plastics/ polyester resin are both flammable and often emit hazardous fumes when ignited, the complete absence of these resins, catalysts and bonding agents make BG-FILCOTEN® completely non-flammable. BG-FILCOTEN® has a Fire Rating of A1.

0% VOCs

100% recyclable, BG-FILCOTEN® is free from artificial resins and solvents. This means that it is harmless to the environment, our employees and the installation team.

BG-FILCOTEN® channel bodies have been bioconstructively tested and are recommended by the IBR (Institut für Baubiologie Rosenheim GmbH)

No harmful substance, heavy metals or VOC's.

Lock Mechanisms

Grate Locking Mechanisms & Compliance Features
  • 4-point snap-on (fiX) – For locking to the edge rails and absorb noise. Easy maintenance.
  • 4-point bolts – For heavier application that need a totally secure locking system. For a better system longevity,
    our nut cages can be replaced.
  • Anti-vandalism device – To secure the grates to the trench drain bodies.

Health & Safety Compliance:

Heelproof – We offer grates with less than 5/16 inch (8mm) openings to protect the pedestrians.

ADA compliant – Some of our grates are wheelchair compliant for a totally safe

Bicycle compliant – Most of our grates have openings allowing their crossing with a bicycle.

Light traffic rated – All our grates are crossable with a car.

Theft protection – Anti-vandalism locking system for our grate selection.
