Product detailed description
Linear shower drains are essential components in contemporary bathroom design, particularly in applications where space efficiency and aesthetics are critical. This model is commonly used in residential and commercial bathrooms where a streamlined appearance is required. The square bar design integrates seamlessly with modern tiling and flooring systems, ensuring a clean, uninterrupted look. The adjustable cover allows for fine-tuning of the installation to match the finished floor surface, while the 2 cm perimeter collar ensures secure alignment with the surrounding tiles. The 55 mm mounting depth accommodates standard subfloor thicknesses, making it suitable for new builds and renovations alike.
Installers working with this model will typically encounter scenarios involving waterproofed shower trays or integrated shower areas. The stainless steel construction ensures durability in wet environments, and the design supports both direct floor mounting and integration with prefabricated shower bases. The 50 cm length is ideal for standard shower sizes, but longer variants are available for larger installations.

The technical parameters provided in the table are crucial for correct sizing and selection. The 50 cm length is suitable for standard shower areas, while the 55 mm mounting depth ensures compatibility with typical subfloor thicknesses. The 1.2 mm thickness of the channel provides structural rigidity while maintaining a slim profile. These dimensions are essential for ensuring the drain fits the intended space and functions effectively under normal operating conditions.Installation and connection
The installation process begins with marking and cutting the floor opening to match the drain's dimensions. The drain is then positioned with the 2 cm perimeter collar aligned with the edges of the opening. A level is used to ensure the drain is perfectly horizontal, and the adjustable cover is set to the desired height relative to the finished floor. The 55 mm mounting depth must be accounted for when planning the subfloor structure to avoid protrusion or misalignment. Common installation mistakes include incorrect alignment of the collar, improper adjustment of the cover height, and failure to account for the mounting depth during subfloor preparation. It is essential to verify the drain's position before final grouting and tiling.Compatibility and accessories
This linear shower drain is designed for use with standard waterproofed shower trays and tiled floors. It is compatible with square bar systems and can be integrated with prefabricated shower bases that accommodate linear drains. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, but it is recommended to use appropriate sealing compounds and grouting materials to ensure watertight integrity. The drain is not compatible with systems requiring higher
flow rates or non-standard mounting configurations.Technical background for designers
The operating principle of this linear drain is based on gravity-driven
water flow from the shower area into the drain channel. The
stainless steel construction provides resistance to
corrosion and ensures long-term durability in wet environments. The square bar design allows for even distribution of load and minimizes the risk of deformation under normal use. The adjustable cover height ensures the drain remains flush with the finished floor, preventing tripping hazards and ensuring a seamless appearance. The 55 mm mounting depth is designed to accommodate standard subfloor thicknesses, and the 1.2 mm channel thickness provides sufficient structural strength without adding unnecessary bulk. The 2 cm perimeter collar ensures secure alignment with the surrounding tiles and prevents water from bypassing the drain.Service and operation
Regular inspection of the drain is recommended to ensure continued functionality. The adjustable cover should be checked for signs of wear or misalignment, and the drain channel should be cleared of any debris that may restrict water flow. No specific service intervals are provided, but routine cleaning with a mild detergent is advised to maintain performance. The stainless
steel construction requires no special maintenance and is resistant to corrosion and staining under normal operating conditions.Frequently asked questions
