Modern office building — office floors, tea kitchens, restrooms with auto-flush valves. Weekend — everything quiet. Monday morning — complaints about "that smell" in the restroom on the 6th floor. The building owner is looking for a solution that won't require intervention every weekend.
Auto-flush systems are installed for water safety. But the floor drain dries out on weekends and holidays—because no water passes through it.
Zagreb and the regional centers have developed a building services scene over the past decades. Technical managers are winning maintenance tenders, and Type A tenants (IT, finance, corporations) are increasingly evaluating a building by details such as the absence of odors.

The building manager is requesting documentation for property management. We are sending the technical manual and the tender-ready specification.
EN 1253 spec, IPS data, ASSE 1072 report — covers PM tender.
One floor or wing — pilot, 90-day evaluation.
The facility manager adds the specification to the portfolio.
By floors — during regular nightly maintenance.
More modern BC buildings in Zagreb (Allianz Tower, Eurotower, Zagrebtower, Almeria, Vmd Centar) are constructed in accordance with EN 1253. Sanitary facilities and tea kitchens are predominantly DN50. Garages, technical rooms, and central kitchens (canteens) are sized larger.
Green Drain™ doesn't work alone — for maximum drain control it's combined with GD Uri-Tabs™ (urinals) and GreenSwirl™ (biofilm bio-cleaning).
Patented silicone seal for floor drains in office restrooms, kitchens, and mechanical rooms. EN 1253 compliant, contributes to LEED/BREEAM points.
Bio-enzyme urinal tablets for office restrooms. Fewer odor complaints from tenants, lower workload for the FM team.
Bio-cleaning of biofilm in kitchen and floor drains of common areas. Without harsh chemicals that could damage the system.
We come to the site, map the drains, and provide a written recommendation—no cost, no obligation.
