Linear drain a perfect fit for wet room bathrooms

Removing the need for a conventional water stop at the shower entry, the Stormtech 120SCS shower screen support drain is ideal for installation in these increasingly popular residential spaces.

Linear drain a perfect fit for wet room bathrooms

Right now, wet room bathrooms (i.e. bathrooms that are entirely waterproofed) are experiencing a surge in popularity.

Beyond the emergence of new technologies that have made them more viable, the reasons for this trend include the move towards smaller homes (coupled with the fact that they require less space than traditional bathrooms), along with an increased understanding (and acceptance) of inclusive design principles.

Architects have become more aware of their responsibility to design residential spaces that are sympathetic to the needs of those with ambulatory challenges, while at the same time, homeowners have begun to realise the benefits of spaces that will meet the evolving needs of them and their families.

Stormtech 120SCS shower screen support drain

Designed to remove the need for a conventional shower tray or raised curb at the shower entry and allow the use of a single drain for the entire room, the Stormtech 120SCS Shower Screen Support Drain is ideal for installation in wet room bathrooms.

A unique system that facilitates dual-sided drainage (on either side of the shower screen), the 120SCS is suitable for wall-to-wall installation and can function as the bathroom’s sole drain.

Ideal for use by those with mobility impairments or disabilities, it delivers a sleek, uncluttered appearance, simplifies tile installation and expands bathroom design possibilities. To put that another way, the 120SCS delivers greater design flexibility without detriment to performance or functionality.

On top of that, the drain’s integrated (and unobtrusive) support allows for a shower screen to be fixed, minimising splash outside of the shower area, whilst still maintaining the minimalist aesthetic appeal and open feel that is characteristic of wet room designs.

Ensuring access & promoting mobility

Made from marine grade 316 stainless steel and featuring a patented design, the shower screen support drain is available in a choice of grate designs and a range of colours to suit individual applications. Specifiers can choose between made-to-length units or, alternatively, the drain can be customised in terms of width, length, and outlet position.

Designed with an understanding of the importance of access for all, the 120SCS delivers a consistent level surface across the whole bathroom area and helps ensure the entire space can be considered a Category 1 wet area.

WaterMark certified and exceeding all Australian Standards, it helps solve the spatial challenges of apartment living, while embracing the notion of inclusive design.
