DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–QuickDrain USA brings the spa-like luxury and high-end aesthetics to
American home and facility owners everywhere with its ShowerLine linear
shower drain. The drain’s high-end look and high-quality PVC
construction allows designers and contractors to create stunningly
beautiful showers without breaking the bank.
Ideal for tub-to-shower conversions in single-family, hospitality and
multi-family spaces, the drain system features a fully sloped trough
where water exits through either a vertical or a side waste outlet,
making it easy to accommodate existing plumbing. Seven separate
stainless steel drain covers (available in brushed and polished
finishes) compliment the economical, yet stylish series, ideal for both
new and remodel applications.
It’s a perfect solution for both curbed and curbless showers, easily
accommodating universal designs in accordance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
Use of linear drains also offers labor savings, as installers need to
only create a one-directional slope, compared with a conventional
four-way compound slope used with center point drains. This improves
drainage, giving water one uniform path to the drain, minimizing
installation errors and hazardous standing-water “dead spots.”
The integrated PVC drain, combined with pre-sloped shower panels and
waterproofing accessories, represents a total shower solution for
promoting effective and efficient drainage. Other features of the
ShowerLine drain include:
-
On-site adjustability: Perfect for almost any existing plumbing
application, stackable spacers allow installers to adjust the height
of the drain cover to ensure it is flush with the shower floor.
Likewise, trough extensions and covers may be trimmed onsite, after
the PVC body is installed, making it easy to provide wall-to-wall
coverage, which helps to minimize standing water or water traveling
beyond the curbless shower entry. -
Field flexibility: ShowerLine drains allow for the construction
of accessible showers that do not have to be recessed into the floor.
Instead, shower pans can be set flush to the subfloor, resulting in a
great-looking curbed or curbless shower without the expense. -
Lower maintenance: The ShowerLine drain can be integrated with
larger format tiles, reducing the number of grout joints and seams
where mold, mildew and grime can take hold. And, using large tiles
throughout the room, from the floor into the shower, can make a small
bath appear larger. -
Superior adaptability: ShowerLine can accommodate a poured
shower pan or QuickDrain’s Quickslope PET (polyethylene terephthalate)
rigid-foam shower floor panels. The latter is an environmentally
friendly option, fabricated from recycled, plastic water and soda
bottles, that also considerably reduces installation time and labor
cost.
REMODEL READY
The transitional styling of ShowerLine lends itself
to both traditional and contemporary décors. And, because ShowerLine
doesn’t require the use of a two-piece clamping collar, this PVC linear
drain allows for the rapid construction of curbless or curbed showers,
with minimal impact to the subfloor. The system creates wall-to-wall
coverage, promoting the effective and efficient drainage of water.
MICHAEL GRAVES-DESIGNED COVERS
The late Michael Graves, one of the
most prominent and prolific American architects of the late 20th
century, felt that every home should have at least one curbless
shower—and its affordability should not be a hurdle.
He collaborated with QuickDrain on two ADA compliant drain covers that
reflect his iconic Postmodernism outlook. Grave’s Cosmo and Stream cover
designs are crafted from durable 18-gauge, 304 stainless steel. The
removable, slim-profile covers are both offered with a brushed stainless
steel finish, while the Cosmo is also available in a polished stainless
finish. Five additional cover designs round out the seven available
options for the ShowerLine drain series, including a TileIn cover.
Key specifications: The ShowerLine drain body is made of PVC and is
available in six standard sizes and four outlet configurations.
ShowerLine drains accommodate finished shower dimensions between 32
inches and 72 inches. ShowerLine is ADA-compliant and is Compliant with
Uniform Plumbing Code, International Plumbing Code & ASME A112.18.2/CSA
B125.2. List prices start at $225.
