SLEEK 900 Linear Shower Drain - Gun Grey

Product detailed description

Linear shower drains are essential components in modern wetroom design, providing efficient water removal while maintaining a sleek aesthetic. This type of drainage solution is commonly used in contemporary bathrooms, wellness areas and commercial facilities where a seamless floor appearance is required. Installers working on such projects need to ensure proper slope calculation, waterproofing integration and mechanical stability during installation. The SLEEK 900 Gun Grey is specifically designed for wetroom applications where a continuous slot overflow system offers both functional and visual advantages over traditional grating systems.

The drain operates by allowing water to flow through a narrow continuous slot rather than multiple grates. This design minimises the risk of hair and debris accumulation in the overflow area and simplifies cleaning. The unit is installed in the finished floor surface after levelling and waterproofing, with the waste connection made to the building's standard drainage system. The three adjustable feet allow for precise levelling even on uneven subfloors, ensuring optimal water flow towards the slot.

The 900 mm length makes this model suitable for standard shower enclosures and wetrooms with typical floor dimensions. The fully metallic cover in gun grey finish provides consistent appearance without glass elements, which might require additional sealing. The stainless steel construction ensures resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure from cleaning agents and soap residues. The adjustable feet allow for fine-tuning of the slope during installation to ensure proper water runoff.Installation and connection The installation process begins with positioning the drain in the designated location within the wetroom floor. Three independent adjustable feet allow for precise levelling before the waterproofing membrane is applied and tiles are laid. The drain must be connected to the standard waste pipe system using appropriate fittings according to local plumbing codes. During tiling, the tiles should be sloped towards the slot from both sides to ensure complete water removal. After installation, it is important to verify that the overflow channel is unobstructed and the cover sits flush with the floor surface. Common installation errors include insufficient slope calculation and improper sealing around the drain body, which can lead to water retention and potential leaks.

Compatibility and accessories

This drain is compatible with standard waste pipe systems used in residential and commercial plumbing. For complete functionality, it requires proper integration with the building's drainage network. Additional waterproofing membranes and tile adhesives should be selected according to the manufacturer's recommendations for wetroom installations. No specific accessories are required for basic operation, but the unit should be tested for water flow after installation to confirm proper function.

Technical background for designers

The SLEEK 900 operates on the principle of gravity-driven water flow through a continuous slot. The stainless steel construction provides long-term durability and resistance to environmental factors such as humidity and chemical exposure. The absence of glass components eliminates potential points of failure associated with glass seals and reduces the need for maintenance. The design allows for seamless integration with modern wetroom aesthetics while maintaining efficient water removal. The longevity of the unit depends on proper installation, including correct slope calculation and waterproofing application. The three adjustable feet enable adaptation to various subfloor conditions, making it suitable for both new constructions and renovations.

Service and operation

Periodic maintenance involves lifting the cover manually to access the trap and remove any accumulated hair or debris. This maintenance task should be performed approximately once every one to three months to ensure optimal drainage performance. The cover can be returned to its original position without tools after cleaning. Regular inspection of the overflow slot for blockages and verification of the cover's alignment with the floor surface are recommended to maintain long-term functionality. No special cleaning agents are required for routine maintenance.
