Our vinyl floor wet room drains are top quality in both function and design, so you get a seamless finish with your bathroom floor. Vinyl flooring is perfect for barrier-free showers, commonly used in home renovations, but also suitable for public spaces like hospitals. Our linear drains for vinyl floor series comes in eight lengths and three modern designs, offering seamless, efficient drainage.

Why Vinyl Flooring for a Wet Room?
Vinyl flooring is great for wet rooms, it’s durable, water resistant and looks good. It’s a seamless wet room floor, no seepage and hygienic. Vinyl flooring is often used not only in residential projects but also in public facilities such as fitness centres, swimming pools, and hospitals. This type of flooring is also becoming increasingly popular in hotels. However, since not only the type of floor plays a role but a shower should also be visually appealing, we recommend choosing a linear drain instead of a classic point drain. A vinyl floor linear drainage system, also known as a shower channel, offers a sleek modern design along with efficient water flow.
The "Wiper VF" shower channel series has been specially designed for vinyl floors and is available with three stylish design covers:
- Ponente: Timeless and minimalist full stainless steel cover
- Sirocco: Modern stainless steel cover with punched squares
- Mistral: Perforated stainless steel cover with unevenly sized circles

What material is a shower channel made from?

For special applications drains can also be made from stainless steel AISI 316. Stainless steel not only looks elegant and modern but also resistant to corrosion and oxidation, against chemical and weather influences. Also great results in various surface finishes, high-gloss polished, brushed and matt.
