Drains for shower trays and effective drainage systems
We know perfectly well that when you get to work on a bathroom renovation, the last thing you want is for a small detail to ruin a job well done. At Brikum, we like to take care of those elements that aren't always visible but make the difference between a relaxing shower and a headache caused by damp problems. Here you'll find drains designed to let water flow as it should, with models to suit any space and the guarantee that you're buying professional-grade materials. We make sure your order arrives quickly, usually within two to five days, so you don't have to leave the work unfinished because you're missing parts.
Everything you need to know to choose the perfect drainage system for your bathroom
Sometimes it seems as though all drains are the same, but nothing could be further from the truth. When you start looking at options for your home, you realize that choosing the right drain for your shower tray is almost as vital as choosing the tray itself or the tiles. Ultimately, it's the component that ensures water doesn't remain stagnant and that unpleasant odors stay where they belong: in the pipes and away from your nose.
In our online store, we've seen everything from simple renovations to mineral-cast shower trays with slate textures that require special care. That's why we want to help you make the right choice, so that price doesn't stand in the way of achieving the highest quality.
Types of drains and how to get it right the first time
Renovating an old bathroom is not the same as designing one from scratch in a new house. Depending on how many centimeters of space you have beneath the floor, you'll have to choose one solution or another. The drains in our catalog are designed to meet all these needs:
siphonic systems: they're the kings of the house because they include that small water reservoir that acts as a natural barrier against odors:
extra-flat models: the solution when the floor slab is thin and you can't dig very far down:
linear solutions: those long grates that look so elegant and drain an amazing amount of water:
If you're looking for a drain for a walk-in shower, the kind that sits flush with the floor and creates an incredible sense of visual continuity in the bathroom, pay close attention to its drainage capacity. There's nothing more frustrating than seeing water run towards the sink area because the drain can't cope.
The importance of the cover in the final finish
Sometimes people think a shower drain cover is merely decorative, but it plays a fundamental role. In addition to preventing things that shouldn't from getting into the pipe, it's what you step on every morning. At Brikum, we choose durable materials that won't deteriorate over time or with the use of strong cleaning products.
A good shower drain cover should be easy to remove. It may seem trivial, but when you need to clean away accumulated soap residue or hair, you’ll appreciate being able to remove the piece smoothly and fit it back perfectly without having to wrestle with it.
Practical advice before buying
Before you jump at one of our offers, I recommend measuring a couple of things. First is the diameter of your shower tray outlet, which is usually ninety millimeters in modern models, but it never hurts to check. Second is the actual depth of the space you have available.
If you have any questions while browsing our models, remember that at Brikum, we’re tradespeople. We know what it’s like to be on a job site, and we know the tools and accessories we sell because we’ve been working with top-tier brands for years. We’re not here just to sell you a box, but to make your renovation a complete success.
Why trust us for your plumbing supplies
Shopping online can sometimes make you worry about whether the item will arrive in good condition or whether it will be what you expect. At our store, we work hard to make the experience feel like going to the local hardware store, but with the convenience of not having to leave your sofa. We work with leading brands such as Makita, Dewalt, and Black&Decker for tools, and we apply that same high standard to our bathroom section.
Our drains are selected to last for years. We don’t want you to have to lift tiles after six months because a joint has failed or the drain’s plastic has deteriorated. We prefer to offer products we trust ourselves, with a quality-to-price ratio that’s fair for your budget.
Installation and small details that can save the day
If you’re going to install the drain for your walk-in shower yourself, make sure the waterproofing around the drain opening is perfect. Always use high-quality bonding materials and don’t skimp on sealing. It’s better to take ten extra minutes to leave it looking perfect than to have to call the neighbor downstairs next week because they have a leak.
Remember that, although a shower tray drain may seem like a small component, it is the heart of the wet area. Choose carefully, check compatibility with your current installation, and if you have any doubts about which model is best for you, we’re here to lend a hand with whatever you need.
