About Pro-Line linear drains

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 system, 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!

 

QuickDrain linear drain bodies also feature a 100% sloping drain trough, allowing 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 this issue with the fully-sloped trough.

 

Why Linear Drains (ADA)

ADA Compliant Showers

Linear drains are the ideal design solution for creating ADA compliant showers and wet spaces that are universally accessible. The one-directional shower floor slope provides a more stable and even surface for accommodating wheelchairs and less possibility for slippage. Imagine trying to steady a wheelchair in a bowl – linear drains eliminate that issue. With a linear drain, the shower entry can be even with the rest of the bathroom floor – no curbs or bumps to negotiate. Lastly, because the one-directional slope allows for use of large format tiles or even solid surface material, such as concrete or marble, there will be less mold and bacteria harboring grout lines. This makes the linear drain system the easiest to access and maintain.

A part of the preparation process may include envisioning how to make the area work as a zero entry shower for wheelchair access and ADA compliance.
