You just had a nice warm shower. Washed away all the tiredness. Turned the shower off. You’re about to leave the bathroom and notice – it’s all clogged!
One of the most important things in your washroom is the floor drains. So, choose wisely from the various shapes and sizes, and mechanisms! Also, it is important to have the correct sloping angle of the washroom towards the drain.
Let us share a few pointers as your guide for buying floor drains for your bathroom.
1. Round & Square Floor Drains
The round and square drains are the most common and economic choice, even though there are costlier versions available in the market which look sophisticated & elegant. You also have the choice of buying from the silver or the golden colour categories, matching your existing bathfittings.
2. Based on Architecture of the Washroom
Understand the architecture of your washroom and make the correct decision. The compression type shower drains are attached to the pipe via compression washers and nuts. These can be fixed over any of your steel, fiberglass or plastic bases.
Then there are the glue-on shower drains which can be easily glued on to your existing base of steel or fiberglass or plastic. But you have to take the measurements correctly, before you place an order!
Last but not the least, the tile shower drains are customised and will need to be positioned and installed beforehand.
3. Flow Rate
Check the water pressure of your washroom, your duration and intensity of usage and how big or small your showerhead is. The flow of shower drains with the maximum efficiency varies from 8 ki he 10 gallons per minute. You will have to choose accordingly or take a professional’s help.
4. Sloping Angle
Going for a normal square or circular cockroach jail will mean that the slope of your complete washroom will have to be towards one single corner. Whereas, if you choose a linear drain, the slope of your washroom can be towards that particular wall.
5. Maintenance
Maintenance of shower drains is an integral part of the whole system and it is quite a regular affair. So, choose a drain system that can be easily cleaned because it is natural for hair and other debris to get the drains clogged.
As there are many bath fitting manufacturers selling different kinds of waste drain therefore, taking the right decision is difficult. But Viga makes it easier for you, with suggestions and a wide variety of best products to choose from. We hope that you find this guide useful for your next purchase of floor drains.
