Linear Drain Covers
HIDE Linear Drain Covers (also known as strip drains, channel drains or trench drains) deliver premium strip drainage with a clean, seamless finish—without a visible drain grate. Each tile insert drain kit is supplied in 1210mm modular lengths, designed for tile, stone or paver inlays to blend the drainage line into patios, pool surrounds and landscaped areas.
Why 1210mm? It aligns naturally with common tile set-outs: 3 × 400mm tiles + grout, or 2 × 600mm tiles + grout. Need a custom fit? The 316 stainless steel lengths are easy to trim on-site to match your layout, and the finishing kit includes a stainless cutting disc for a clean result.

Installation overview
Set out the ED or SM channel at slab level (tile fixing height). Install the HIDE Linear Drain System above the channel at the finished tile height.
The tabs allow up to 10mm height adjustment—bend down tabs at either end to centralise the system and maintain even spacing. If required, use the supplied level adjusters and adhesive to secure components.
If your tile/stone layout doesn’t land neatly on the 1210mm modular length, you can trim the stainless cover for a perfect fit. As a guide, 1210mm suits 3 × 400mm tiles plus two 5mm grout joints (400 + 5 + 400 + 5 + 400 = 1210mm). If your set-out differs—or you’re using crazy pave / irregular stone edges—cut the cover length to suit the tile widths and edge lines. A stainless-steel cutting disc is included in the finishing kit for this adjustment.
Finishing kit & tip
One finishing kit is required per project. Each kit includes a lifting/tab key, stainless steel cutting disc, and two end caps for a clean finish at each end.
TIP: You only need one key hole per multi-length drain run—the remaining covers can be lifted once the first length is removed. The supplied key also helps bend down the tabs.

BACKED BY A 20 YEAR WARRANTY!
You know you are purchasing a quality product when you receive a 20 year warranty.
And that’s exactly what you receive with a HIDE kit. We offer such a long-standing warranty because we’ve designed our lids to be set-and-forget. Hide lids are 100% safe, constructed of high-grade materials with a beautiful finish, and maintenance is required only occasionally. HIDE warranty covers the Safety Key, the Inlay Lid and the Edge Protector.
Meanwhile, other traditional landscape lid options can have durability issues which require regular, and often costly, lid replacement. Due to these durability issues, the homeowner usually receives little to no warranty coverage.
So which option would you rather?
