ACO materials
In the design of components and structural elements, the choice of suitable material determines the aesthetic and
functional qualities of the product. The materials used by ACO are characterised by their strength, ageing resist-
ance and their resistance to aggressive media, frost, heat and sunlight. Thanks to their long life and recyclability,
they are equally sustainable and environmentally compatible and are used in an application-orientated way.
Polymer concrete
With 30 production locations worldwide,
we consistently implement our ideas of
product quality, economic efficiency and
on-time delivery to our customers. Each
of our factories has special materials
expertise, from which the entire ACO
Group profits. Keeping our production
technology and ecological performance
up-to-date and in line with the latest
standards is part of our standard of act-
ing responsibly as a company and to be
a worldwide leader.
ACO polymer concrete –

a better idea
The special material composition and state-of-the-art produc-
tion technology give polymer concrete its outstanding proper-
ties profile. ACO polymer concrete products have high strength
values and a low weight. ACO polymer concrete is waterproof.
Water dries quickly. Frost damage is excluded. The smooth
surface of ACO polymer concrete allows water and dirt parti-
cles to run off quickly and is easy to clean. Polymer concrete
is also resistant to aggressive media without requiring addition-
al coatings and can be used versatilely and durably even under
extreme conditions.

For some years now, drainage channels disguised as narrow

addition of another design dimension: the new ACO Sideline
stands out with its sophisticated symbiosis of drainage and
LED technology. The enhanced feeling of safety is an important
plus point in addition to the highly effective design character.
ACO DRAIN® Lightpoint

The LED Lightpoint is available in various colours (e.g. white,
blue). 18 lightpoints can be run from a modular plug-in power
supply unit. The lightpoints are interconnected by a simple plug
arrangement.
The LED Lightpoint is simply inserted into the special opening
in the ductile iron grate and fixed into place to retain the drai-

ACO Eyeleds
Light and expressive – the LED points are installed in a high-

powerful lighting effect even though the lights are only 2 cm
in diameter. Garage drives, squares, footpaths, pedestrian

all be attractively highlighted by ACO Eyeleds. In addition to
decorative effects ACO Eyeleds can also improve overall
safety in busy areas.

ACO Stormbrixx – a modular infiltration system
ACO Stormbrixx is a modular infiltration system made from synthetic materials, which on the one hand
provides storage of water from storm water and on the other hand is used to provide infiltration of the
storm water. The basis of the system are the building blocks which are laid in bonded patterns using an
intelligent snap lock system, and give the overall system its structural rigidity.
44
The dimensions of the ACO Stormbrixx
infiltration system can be customised.
System structures can be square,
elongated or even around corners.

The basis of the new ACO Stormbrixx
system is provided by the basic compo-

an interconnected system of blocks.

ACO Self® point drainage system
Point gullies are often used under the tap of a standpipe in the garden or yard, or as point drainage in suitable
terrain. They work just like drainage channels while doing so. In other words, the gullies always drain the
waste water and rainwater reliably, so that puddles and sludge do not have any chance to form.

Cobblestones, flagstones or asphalt are
the customary coverings that are used
nowadays for paving the areas around
the house, as well as the large areas
around public buildings and commercial
buildings. Rainwater and waste water
cannot soak away naturally because the-
se pavings usually seal the ground. The
pavings must not only be laid skilfully
but they must also ensure that the sur-
face water will collected and drained in
order to prevent puddles from forming.
The ACO Self® Point gullies are a simple
and practical solution for draining the
surfaces of yards, driveways and large
areas. The frostproof gullies for waste
water and rainwater, which are passable
by vehicles and resistant to thawing
salt, reliably ensure that the surface
water is collected quickly and drained
via the point gullies from these areas or

ACO Rain4me – Rainwater harvesting for home and garden
Clean water is a very precious resource. Worldwide groundwater consumption is fifteen times larger than its
regeneration. That is why the groundwater declines continuously. The heavy rain of short duration leads to
an excess of water. You can collect and store the rainwater in your garden and consume it as required.

wildlife
Amphibians and small animals occupy
a wide range of habitats which are
often divided by roads. Amphibians in
particular undertake seasonal migration
between land habitats and their vital
spawning grounds. Because they move
slowly, and can spend a relatively long
period on the roads that they cross, ma-
ny amphibians and other small animals
are doomed to join the countless victims
of road-kill. Animals undertaking mass
migrations at the end of winter, or in the
summer after thunderstorms, experi-
ence a very high risk of being hit
by vehicles. There is even a danger of
complete eradication of local animal
populations. In addition to animal pro-
tection is the risk to drivers and pas-
sengers from animals on roads, when
vehicles swerve to avoid them. Public
safety and species protection are mutual

Roof Drainage
ACO gravity and siphonic roof drainage
Flat roofs are sensitive architectural areas. That is why it is especially critical to plan their drainage systems
professionally. When rain falls onto a flat roof, large volumes of water can collect rapidly. Unless there is an
effective way of draining off precipitation, this can lead to excess loads being placed on the building's structure.
ACO Haustechnik offers functional solutions which are specially designed for flat roof areas and which ensure
the water is drained effectively. For smaller surfaces, gravity drainage systems are the solution. For larger roofs
of 150 m2 or more, siphonic systems can be installed.

With the Lipulift-C, ACO offers a 3-in-1

standard-compliant solution for confined

benefits for building contractors, oper-
ators and planners. Instead of having

attach themselves to the light liquid

the coalescence filter. As a consequence
the element must be cleaned at regular
intervals to prevent blockaging and thus

Not the case with the Oleosmart Pro:
Thanks to the filterless multi-channel

ACO backflow stops – compact design for versatile utilisation
Previously an occasional hazard, the risk of backflows will undoubtedly increase in future in line with the
predicted greater frequency of heavy rain storms. This is because sewers are only designed to cope with ave-
rage rainfall volumes for economic and technical reasons. Mixed water sewers can therefore very quickly fill
up completely during major cloud bursts. It therefore only makes sense to permanently protect all rooms and
areas in single family houses lying below the backflow level from the risk of backflow from public sewers.
