Modern office building — office floors, tea kitchens, washrooms with automatic flushing. Floor drains that see little use run dry within two to four weeks, and the odour is most noticeable on Monday morning after two days without ventilation. The building owner needs a solution that does not call for constant intervention.
Auto-flush systems are installed for water safety. But a floor drain that sees no water runs dry within two to four weeks.
Dublin's Silicon Docks and Sandyford, and the tech parks in Cork and Galway, have built up a mature building services market. Facility managers win maintenance contracts on service quality, and Grade-A tenants in tech, finance and professional services increasingly judge a building on details like the absence of odour.

The building manager asks for documentation for the property file. We send the technical manual and a tender-ready specification.
EN 1253 spec, product data sheet and the ASSE 1072 report — enough for the PM tender.
One floor or wing — pilot, 90-day evaluation.
The facility manager adds the specification to the portfolio standard.
By floors — during regular nightly maintenance.
Modern Irish office buildings are built to EN 1253. Washrooms and tea kitchens are predominantly 50–58 mm, while garages, plant rooms and central staff canteens are sized larger.
Green Drain™ doesn't work alone — for maximum drain control it's combined with GD Uri-Tabs™ (urinals) and GreenSwirl™ (drain unblocking).
Patented silicone seal for floor drains in office washrooms, kitchens, and mechanical rooms. Compatible with drains built to EN 1253; may contribute to LEED and BREEAM points.
Bio-enzymatic urinal tablets for office washrooms. Fewer odour complaints from tenants, lower workload for the FM team.
Biological cleaning of biofilm in kitchen and common-area floor drains, with no harsh chemicals to damage the system.
We come to the site, map the drains, and provide a written recommendation — no cost, no obligation.
