Linear Shower Drains + Expert Advice

Linear Shower Drain projects can be confusing. Save time, money & frustration with expert advice from EZ Able® - fast, knowledgeable & great prices too.

What is a linear shower drain?

A linear shower drain is a type of shower drain that has a long, narrow shape and is typically installed along one wall or the entrance of a shower or bathroom. Linear shower drains come in a variety of materials, such as stainless steel or PVC, and have a decorative grating on top. They are also great for creating barrier-free showers and wheelchair access showers.

Why do people like linear shower drains?

Linear Shower Drains provide an easy way to create a barrier free shower because the shower pan only slopes in one direction. The one direction sloping allows for the use of large format tiles, which is popular in modern design.  Contractors like using linear drain systems for the ease of use, quick installation and reliable drainage given by the pre-sloped underlayment panels.

Linear Shower Drain Overview

The concept of the linear drain system centers on the idea of creating a one-way slope to a single line which extends completely between two vertical surfaces. It is critical that wherever the linear drain is placed in the shower pan, it must extend completely between two vertical surfaces to avoid standing water “dead spots”.

It is important to note that there are two basic categories of linear drain available on the market today. One makes achieving the look of a linear drain possible with a decorative cover, yet still retains the old two-part clamping ring drain system beneath. This adds additional labor to installation and is not as efficient. The second category of linear drain – to which the QuickDrain system belongs – is a true drain in that it includes a drain body beneath with a waste outlet that connects directly with the plumbing.

The QuickDrain system does not just look like a linear drain – it is a linear drain. With our patented Sure Flow SystemTM, not only can you count on a beautiful shower design, you can count on its being easier to install and functioning more efficiently for years to come! 

One Direction Floor Slope

The one-way slope in the shower pan, combined with a 100% sloping linear drain trough allows for the most complete drainage of any linear drain available. Once standing water dries in a drain trough, it leaves deposits which make the drain nearly impossible to clean. The QuickDrain system eliminates standing water and resulting mold and bacteria. A one-way slope in the shower pan provides a stable surface for wheelchairs and prevents slippage. Clean design, clean shower.  The one direction floor slope also makes possible the use of large tiles.  No longer are mosaic tiles required to accommodate the multiple sloping surface of a standard shower with a center drain.
