Where Should a Linear Shower Drain Be Positioned?

The placement of a linear shower drain depends on both the existing plumbing layout and your design preferences. Common positioning options include:
- Along the wall: This placement is popular for its ease of installation and compatibility with various shower sizes and shapes.
- At the threshold or entrance: Ideal for barrier-free showers, placing the drain here can help contain water within the shower area.
- In the center: Center placement can be effective for larger shower areas, ensuring efficient water drainage from all directions.

What Are the Differences Between Stainless Steel and Brass Finishes? Can I Mix and Match?

- Satin Stainless Steel: Also known as Brushed Steel, this finish complements Brushed Nickel or Satin Nickel fixtures well.
- Polished Stainless Steel: Offers a mirror-like appearance similar to Polished Chrome and Polished Nickel.
- Brushed Brass/Champagne Gold: Matches Satin Gold or Bronze fixtures and pairs well with Oil-Rubbed Bronze (ORB) fixtures and Black accents.

Mixing and matching finishes can enhance your bathroom's aesthetic appeal, depending on the distance between fixtures and the overall design theme. A perfectly matched finish is not always necessary; creative combinations can elevate the design.

Does the Drain Come with a Flange?

Our standard linear drains do not include a clamp-down drain base (flange) in the kit. This component is essential for installations using plain edge base linear drains and can be found in the Parts section of our website. We offer clamp-down drains in PVC, ABS, and Cast Iron to suit various plumbing requirements.

How Do You Remove the Grate for Cleaning?

Each kit includes a lifting key designed for easy removal of the grate, facilitating straightforward cleaning and maintenance.

Is There a Hair Catching Grid Accessible by Lifting the Grate?

Yes, our standard linear drains feature a completely removable grate that comes with a hair strainer. This accessory is designed to fit inside the drain, capturing hair and other debris to prevent clogs.

What Waterproofing Methods Are Compatible with Your Standard Linear Drains?

Our standard linear drains are designed for use with traditional waterproofing methods, including PVC liners, CPE (chlorinated polyethylene) liners. For optimal results, pairing our drains with a clamp-down drain body ensures a secure and watertight installation.

Can Your Linear Drains Be Used in Custom Shower Configurations?

Yes, our linear drains are versatile enough to be installed in a variety of shower configurations, from standard rectangular showers to custom shapes. The key is to ensure proper slope towards the drain for efficient water removal.

What Maintenance Is Required for Linear Drains?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the grate and hair catcher to prevent buildup and ensure smooth water flow. We recommend checking and cleaning the drain every few months, depending on usage, to maintain optimal performance.

Are Your Linear Drains ADA Compliant?

When installed correctly, our linear drains can be used in ADA-compliant showers. The low profile design allows for barrier-free entry, and when placed at the shower entrance, can effectively contain water within the shower area.
