Abstract:
A method of forming a threshold drain  31  is disclosed. The drain  31  extends alongside an exterior wall  4  of a building and is formed in an exterior surface  36 . The building has an interior floor  21  with the exterior surface  36  and the interior floor  21  being substantially flush to permit traymobile, wheelchair and invalid access. In a single concrete pour, the drain gutter  31 , exterior surface  36,  interior floor  21  and a gutter  40  are all formed. The gutter has an exterior side wall  39  which supports a plurality of triangular cantilever arms  43 . A support frame  42  having two longitudinally extending rims  51,52  is supported by the arms  43  and releasably receives a grate  32  between the rims  51, 52 . The inner rim  51  is spaced from the wall  24  of the building, preferably by 10-12 mm (⅜-½ inch), so as to provide a barrier to moisture in accordance with the Building Code of New Zealand standard set out in Clause E2 External Moisture. The drain  31  is also disclosed.
