Frequently Asked Questions
What does moving the drain to the wall gain?
A floor with nothing in it.
No aperture, no cut, no upstand.
The whole floor falls one way to the wall.
And can be tiled wall to wall.
In the largest format the room takes.
Is that different from a floor-set channel?
Yes, though both need only one fall.
A floor-set channel still leaves a slot.
Which has to be tiled around.
This leaves the floor completely uninterrupted.
The difference is visible.
How does it simplify the waterproofing?
The junction is one you must make anyway.
Wall to floor is tanked in every wet room.
Every membrane system details that corner.
Putting the drain there merges the two.
Instead of adding a flange mid-floor.
What does it do for the floor void?
It often empties it.
Pipework can run in or behind the wall.
Rather than under the floor.
Which suits joists and shallow build-ups.
Sometimes it is the only way to fit one.
What must the wall accommodate?
The channel body, recessed into it.
Straightforward on a stud or battened wall.
A real question on solid masonry.
Check the wall build-up before choosing.
Not after the tiles are ordered.
Does it constrain the layout?
Yes - it fixes the shower to a wall.
The fall runs towards that wall.
So the shower zone is set by it.
A floor-set channel can sit anywhere.
This one cannot move afterwards.
How is it cleaned?
The grating lifts out along the wall.
Access is at floor level, at the edge.
Which is easier than kneeling mid-floor.
Debris still collects in the body.
Check the trap can be reached.
