Linear shower drain SLEEK 90 cm, white glass

Product detailed description

This linear shower drain is commonly specified in modern bathrooms, wellness areas and compact residential wetrooms. It provides continuous water removal along the central or side axis of the shower tray, ensuring even flow distribution and minimising puddling. The unit is typically installed in conjunction with reinforced waterproofing membranes, sealed screeds or prefabricated trays. When setting up such systems, the installer must ensure correct slope alignment and hydraulic continuity with the building’s waste network.

The design allows for direct integration into tiled surfaces or customised walk-in enclosures. The stainless steel body ensures resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress during handling and long-term use. The inclusion of a tempered glass cover ensures a smooth, non-porous surface compatible with standard tile adhesives and grouts. The unit is supplied complete with all necessary components for immediate installation, reducing site preparation time and ensuring compliance with basic waterproofing standards.

Technical parameters

The nominal length of 90 cm defines the maximum horizontal coverage of the drain, which must be aligned with the overall dimensions of the shower area. The internal cross-section and trap geometry determine the hydraulic capacity, which should be considered when matching the drain to the expected water load from rainfall simulations or typical use patterns. The DN40/50 designation indicates the nominal size of the outlet connection, which must correspond to the pipe size of the building’s waste system.

Installation and connection

Installation begins with marking the position of the drain according to the layout of the room and the slope required for proper drainage. The stainless steel base is placed on the prepared subfloor, and the adjustable feet are set to create a minimum slope of 1:50 towards the drain. Once the slope is confirmed using a spirit level, the drain is fixed in place. The supplied waterproofing membrane is applied around the perimeter to prevent leakage during subsequent tiling. The trap must be connected to the building’s waste line using a DN40/50 PVC branch, ensuring tight sealing with appropriate couplings. A common mistake is incorrect slope adjustment, which can lead to stagnant water and reduced performance.

Compatibility and accessories

This linear drain is compatible with standard PVC drainage systems using DN40/50 connections. It is designed for use with waterproofing membranes and reinforced screeds typical of modern wetroom construction. The supplied PVC overflow connector and coupling tools assist in connecting to the main drainage line. Additional components such as extension modules or overflow units are available separately for custom configurations.

Technical background for designers

The drain operates via gravity-fed water flow through a continuous slot in the stainless steel body. The internal trap prevents backflow of odours and gases while allowing free passage of water. The choice of stainless steel ensures durability under fluctuating moisture levels and frequent cleaning. The unit’s low profile allows integration into thin-layer screeds or raised thresholds. Longevity depends on correct installation of the slope and regular cleaning of the slot to prevent clogging by hair or soap residue.

Service and operation

Periodic visual inspection is recommended to confirm the integrity of the seal between the drain and the surrounding tiles or membrane. The tempered glass cover can be removed using the provided key to access the trap for cleaning. Any signs of staining or wear should be addressed promptly to maintain hygiene and aesthetics. The trap should be cleared of debris at regular intervals depending on usage frequency.

Frequently asked questions

Can the drain be installed in a tiled shower floor?
Yes, the drain is designed for direct integration into tiled surfaces. The tempered glass cover is compatible with standard tile adhesives and grouts.

What is the purpose of the adjustable feet?
The adjustable feet allow the installer to establish the correct slope towards the drain to ensure efficient water removal.

Is a separate overflow required?
A separate overflow is not included in the standard package but can be added as part of a custom configuration if needed for larger installations.

How is the trap accessed for cleaning?
The trap can be accessed by removing the tempered glass cover using the provided key, which allows the trap to be emptied and cleaned as required.
