Linear shower drain SLIM 70 cm ROUND BAR

Product detailed description

Linear shower drains are essential components in modern wetroom and shower installations, providing efficient water removal while maintaining a sleek, integrated appearance. This model is suitable for residential and commercial applications where a linear drain of 70 cm width is required. Installers working on new builds or renovations will find this drain suitable for use with standard waterproofing membranes and tile systems. The design allows for precise alignment with the shower floor, ensuring proper water flow and minimal risk of water accumulation.

When planning the installation, it is important to consider the overall layout of the shower space, including the slope of the floor towards the drain and the positioning of tiles. The drain must be installed at the correct depth to ensure compatibility with the finished floor level and to allow for proper sealing. The adjustable cover height is particularly useful in accommodating variations in tile thickness and finishing layers.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation begins with preparing the subfloor and ensuring the correct slope is achieved towards the drain. The drain is then embedded into the waterproofing layer, with the flange secured to prevent water leakage. The adjustable cover height allows for fine-tuning during the final stages of installation. It is important to verify that the drain is level and properly aligned with the surrounding tiles. Common mistakes include incorrect slope settings and improper sealing around the flange, which can lead to water ingress and long-term damage.

Compatibility and accessories

This drain is designed to integrate with standard waterproofing membranes and tile systems. It is compatible with most tile types and grouting methods. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use a waterproofing membrane that covers the entire drain area and extends beyond the flange. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, but it is important to ensure that the surrounding tiles are cut and placed to accommodate the drain's dimensions.

Technical background for designers

Constructed from stainless steel, this drain offers high resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. The material ensures long-term durability and minimal maintenance requirements. The drain operates by allowing water to flow into the channel and then through the internal outlet. The design of the channel and flange ensures that water is efficiently directed away from the surface while maintaining a clean aesthetic. The service life of the drain is influenced by the quality of the installation, the slope of the floor, and the effectiveness of the waterproofing system.

Service and operation

Regular visual inspections are recommended to ensure the drain remains free of blockages and that the cover remains properly aligned. No specific service intervals are required for this model. If water accumulation is observed, it may indicate a problem with the slope or a blockage in the channel. In such cases, the drain should be inspected and cleaned as necessary to restore proper function.
