A 21mm deep tile insert drain kit for floors where there is no height to spare: renovating over existing slabs, shallow screeds, balcony thresholds. The anodised aluminium tray takes floor finishes up to 10mm thick, so the drain reads as a line in the tile, not a grate.
The pop waste can be positioned anywhere along the tray, which means the existing plumbing does not dictate the drain position. UV-stable finish and a lifetime rustproof guarantee for coastal and high-sun work. The mechanical fixing system needs no chemical adhesive, so you can walk the floor straight away and waterproof straight over it.
