Finding the Best Linear Shower Drain for Your Bathroom

We know it can be hard to find the perfect linear drain, but we have seen an increase in residential and commercial installations using linear drains, which makes designing and incorporating this streamlined and modern style type of shower drain a lot easier.
First with a linear drain you need to choose between small tile and large format tile. We recommend large format tile for linear drains because the install becomes easier and cleaner looking.
Where do you put a linear drain? The best placements are either at a barrier-free, walk-in, curbless, glass shower door shower entry or sloped toward the wall under the showerhead for best drainage and leak protection. But there are many other placements for a linear drain that will work as well. Lastly, to choose the size of the linear drain it is best to go with either the size of the shower entry, or the size near the chosen tile format to keep a clean design and modern look.
