BLÜCHER provides drainage solutions removing water from
bathrooms, utility rooms and basements in single- as well as
multi-storey housing, preventing bad smell and standing water
from becoming a concern. The stainless steel also ensures a
classic and aesthetic look.
Hospitals, schools, restaurants and fitness centres are some
of the places where you will find a vast number of drainage
solutions from BLÜCHER. The smooth stainless steel surface
and high capacity prevent settlements and standing water in
public areas. The modular systems provide an easy and quick
installation.
BLÜCHER specializes in drainage solutions for large industrial

Specialized in stainless steelBLÜCHER is synonymous with stainless steel for a number of
good reasons. Stainless steel is highly corrosion resistant with
outstanding longevity. When it comes to constantly draining
water, stainless steel has no equal. In addition there are a
number of other important characteristics that make stainless
steel a reliable material to be depended upon over time.
Low weight high strength
Stainless steel is a strong, durable, pressure and chemical-
resistant material. It can withstand a high degree of vibra-
tions and it functions within a wide scale of temperatures.
The high strength of the material enables the design of thin-
walled low-weight products. Durability, ease of handling and
installation are also part of the cocktail that makes stainless
steel so popular.
Flow, hygiene and maintenance
Properly treated stainless steel has a unique smooth surface
that guarantees maximum flow capacity, which in turn makes
it possible to keep dimensions to a minimum. Shaped without
rough corners and edges, cleaning and maintaining stainless
steel takes minimum effort and time.
Quality, longevity and whole life costing
An increasing number of people have come to realise that
stainless steel solutions are highly competitive, also when
it comes to price. Figuring installation time, maintenance
and longevity into the equation, say over a realistic 50 year
period, stainless steel solutions from BLÜCHER have no equal.
Environmentally safe
Stainless steel is 100% recyclable and non-toxic. If a system
needs replacements or replacing, the disposal of the old
material is of no harm to the environment.
Fire safety
Being able to withstand temperatures over 800° Celsius,
stainless steel is a highly fire resistant material.
Design
If design is a parameter, which is becoming the case in more
and more aspects of life, stainless steel is a durable timeless
classic material that also stands the visual test of time.
BLÜCHER® Drain is a comprehensive product range covering
light- to heavy-duty drains for all types of floors. DOMESTIC is
the classic product line for showers and bathrooms, INDUS-
TRIAL is for industrial facilities, and MARINE targets the entire
maritime industry. The DESIGN line represents BLÜCHER’s com-
mitment to blending invention, design and function. Due to
a range of features including height adjustment, rotation, tilt
and a removable water trap, our products are easy to install.
BLÜCHER® Channel represents a large number of standard,
modular and custom-made channels delivered from stock or
customized according to any given specification. The products
are widely used in industrial and commercial environments,
where the smooth surfaces with no sharp edges make clean-
ing and keeping a high hygienic standard easy. In this range
you will also find commercial kitchen channels in a variety of
dimensions and gratings for all loads.
BLÜCHER has the most extensive range of pipes and fittings in
stainless steel. BLÜCHER® EuroPipe is produced in a variety of
dimensions from OD 50 to 250 mm, and we offer a complete
program of bends, branches and brackets. Products like access
pipes, the rat stop and double ring-seal sockets are also part
of this range. The pipes can be used above as well as below
ground where the low weight and the push-fit system make
installation fast and easy.
With their large flow capacity and a minimum need for brackets,
stainless steel pipes save real time in the installation process.
The pipes can also be used for black- and grey water sanitary
discharge systems onboard ships.

YesterdayBLÜCHER was founded by the Danish plumber Johannes
Blücher Skibild. A man with visions and both his feet solidly
on the ground, looking for a sophisticated grating for drainage
installations. Outside business hours he and his wife started
operating out of their barn producing stainless steel gratings.
Since then the BLÜCHER group has continuously expanded its
products and services.
TodayAs BLÜCHER challenges yesterday with new designs and
solutions, we stay true to the basics of good craftsmanship,
quality and a down-to-earth-spirit. Therefore it is always easy
to do business with us regardless of how complicated a project
might be.
Most standard products are kept in stock and our terms of
delivery are flexible. We provide organized documentation
like catalogues, mini guides and an extensive on-line product
database.
Customized projects are supported with extensive documenta-
tion and CAD drawings. All products are of course delivered
with a detailed step-by-step guide to installation, and to the
extent that our products need maintenance, guides can be
found on our website.
TomorrowWe intend to keep up the flow and continuously improve and
increase our range of products, documentation and communi-
cation.
We also intend to expand our worldwide services and repre-
sentations, always adapting to local requirements and your
specific needs.
