About Us

Stormtech is an Australian family business that was started by John Creighton in 1989.John was asked by an architect to help design a hobless shower for a wheelchair bound client wanting to shower without a carer. A shower without a rim required a very special drainage grate, which John Creighton invented.

With it's elegant finish, and surface water removal efficiency, this drainage design was adopted as standard, patented, and is now the Stormtech 65A Slimline linear drain. John's son, Troy Creighton has been involved in the company since its conception and has been on board full time in 2002. Today, John is involved in consultation capacity.In 2004 Stormtech won a Design Mark at the Australian Design Awards for our drainage design. Since 2006, Stormtech has been a member of the Standards Australia Committee and has been involved in the writing of the code covering linear drainage in bathrooms.
