Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

Threshold drains expanding design potential

Functional and unobtrusive, these drains do more than just remove unwanted water. They open up design possibilities and help improve both accessibility and liveability.


Stormtech, a leader in the field of bathroom innovation and the inventor of the linear drainage system, offers a range of threshold drains, designed for installation at entranceways, on patios, beyond folding doors, and more.

Thanks to their streamlined, linear design which includes a concealed channel, and importantly requires no step or raised lip, these drainage systems offer more than just an effective, safe, and reliable means to remove water from thresholds. They provide a smooth, seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Delivering design possibilities, improving accessibility

Indeed, as evidenced in homes across Australia and beyond, products like those in Stormtech’s leading ’65’ and ‘100’ ranges, are helping to blur the ‘interior/exterior’ distinction. Because of their effectiveness and their unobtrusive, sleek style, they have provided architects with previously unavailable opportunities to extend living areas outwards, invite the elements inside, and more.

On top of that, in line with the requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) to consider the needs of the ageing and people with ambulatory challenges and/or disabilities, these threshold drains help ensure the spaces in which they are installed are welcoming and safe. Eliminating potential trip hazards, they help ensure accessibility for all.

Suitable for applications involving sliding, hinged, bi-fold, top hung doors and more, Stormtech’s threshold drains feature an external linear grate which sits beside the door track. With an integrated, concealed sub-sill, they are designed to direct the flow of water that collects around the threshold to an external drainage system.

Compatible & compliant

Compatible with the products of major door manufacturers, all threshold drains in Stormtech’s ’65’ and ‘100’ ranges exceed the requirements of both the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant Australian standards, including the access and mobility code (AS 1428). Australian made and WaterMark certified, they are the only linear drainage products in the world to have earned Global GreenTag certification. As such, they meet the highest standards of environmental sustainability.

Available in a choice of eight grate designs (AR, AA, TR, Ti, MND, PS, PPS, and PAS), as well as a range of colours/finishes (including Stainless Steel/Aluminium, Gunmetal Grey, Black, Brass, Bronze, Copper, Brass Gold), there is a suitable product for most applications.

Available now from Stormtech, an Australian manufacturer with a proven track record as a leader in its field, they are helping redefine the once humble drain.
