Shower drains are becoming an increasingly popular and essential element in modern bathrooms, as they combine both aesthetics and functionality. Shower cabins with floor drains bring elegance and simplicity while improving accessibility, which is particularly important for the elderly and people with disabilities.

What is a Shower with a Floor Drain?

A shower with a floor drain allows for a seamless surface without raised edges, giving the bathroom a clean, modern look. The drain is built into the level of the floor, enabling water to flow away smoothly while making the shower more accessible and safer.

Advantages and Disadvantages of a Shower with a Floor Drain

Advantages:

• Aesthetics: The modern and minimalist design contributes to a sleek and elegant bathroom appearance.
• Accessibility: Easy access, especially suitable for the elderly and people with disabilities.
• Cleaning: With no raised edges or corners where dirt can accumulate, cleaning is simple and quick.

Disadvantages:

• Installation: Requires professional installation, which may involve floor renovation.
• Properly Prepared Surface: To prevent water leakage and ensure efficient drainage, the floor must be properly sloped toward the drain, which may involve structural adjustments to the floor.

LIV Shower Drains: Elegance and Functionality

LIV drains from Fluidmaster stand out due to their quality, durability, and elegant design. Made from high-quality materials such as stainless steel and durable plastics, they ensure long service life and resistance to corrosion.

Installation

Installing a floor drain requires expert handling. It's essential to ensure the correct slope of the floor toward the drain to enable efficient water drainage. Proper installation prevents standing water issues and ensures the system’s long lifespan.

Maintenance

LIV drains require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners is recommended, along with removing any debris, such as hair or soap residue, to prevent blockages. LIV models also feature a removable hair filter, which makes cleaning easier.

Design and Sizes

LIV shower drains come in various grid designs (Vibe, Galaxy, Energy, Fusion, Standard/Custom, and the new Elegance) and in different sizes (from 350 to 1050 mm).

Standard/Custom Shower Drain: Perfect Integration

The Standard/Custom drain offers complete flexibility in meeting both aesthetic and functional needs. You can install the drain in two ways:

• Standard: A full stainless steel grid that provides a sturdy and elegant look.
• Custom: Flip the drain and install ceramic tiles (or another material) that match the bathroom floor tiles. This creates a seamless look, where only the stainless steel edge of the drain and the line for water drainage are visible..

Elegance: The New Generation of Shower Drains

We would also like to highlight the latest addition to our drain collection—the elegant and refined narrow Elegance drains. Available in stainless steel and black finishes, and in five different lengths, this model brings aesthetic sophistication and adaptability to meet various design requirements.
