Linear drains appear to be a new trend, but in fact, they have been used for many years around the world. They are experiencing a revival in recent years because of their advantages in design and usage. Here are a few reasons to fall in love with linear drains.
Aesthetics
Linear drains are a great choice for any home or commercial space because they allow you to place the drain in a location of your choice. Most linear drains are put into showers but they can also be installed in garages or other areas with drainage needs. Most linear drains are installed against the side or back walls instead of conspicuously located in the center of the space. These drains are a hit in today’s design world because they allow for a beautiful and clean appearance.
Safety
Linear drains are installed level with the floor. The lack of curbs or ledges is not only visually appealing but also safer. The walk-in and walk-out capabilities are convenient for children, people with movement disabilities, and seniors. As you age with your home, your linear drain will allow you ease of movement in years to come.
Tile Installation
Center drains require that all the sides of the floor slope towards the center so water can flow downwards. On the other hand, linear drains demand only one slope towards the location of the drain. This allows for the selection and use of larger tiles than center drains because fewer cuts to the tiles need to be made.
Simple Maintenance and Cleaning
The floors can easily be cleaned with regular floor cleaning products. The drain can also be cleaned with a simple water and soap mixture. The drain cover can be removed and wiped down when necessary. These steps require little effort and allow you to spend your valuable time on the things that truly matter. So, rest assured that a linear drain is a great option for you.
