BATHROOM DESIGN & BUILD
The linear drain market is exploding. Drains from all sorts of manufactures. Lets look at which drains work. Which drains rust. And Which drains collect the most hair.
ACO makes the best drain. This is why it s the only drain I choose to sell anymore.
Have a peak at a recent install....
ACO is the world leader in drainage products. Look at the stainless steel. Electropolished - not off gray in colour but closer in look to your plumbing fixtures. Look at the sides of the channel body. Sealed from the thin-set and mortar. The simple act of shower will not allow water to wick from the grate location back under the tile. That is something you can not say about many of the leading drains out there.
And these pictures don't even show the grill yet!
Now before you buy a shower drain ask someone to show you close up pictures where the drain meets the tile. From the side like this. You might see some nasty thin-set. You might see the waterproof material. There might be metal stand offs or hair catchers I call them. Look close.
It was not for two years before the other drains flaws became visible to me as an installer and salesman. In the end - how easy the drains are to clean - how much hair they collect inside the grate and channel body are the two biggest reasons to choose an ACO shower drain.
