A 26mm deep tile insert drain kit for renovating over existing slabs and shallow screeds. The tray takes tiles up to 11mm, so the drain reads as a line in the floor finish, and the grate top rolls out for cleaning without tools.
The waste outlet can be positioned anywhere along the tray, so the existing plumbing does not dictate where the drain goes. UV-stable anodised aluminium with a lifetime rustproof guarantee, and the anti-tracking underside keeps water in the channel instead of under the tiles.
