Minimalist and efficient bathrooms have become the golden standard, particularly when it comes to residential and hospitality buildings. Designers pay meticulous attention to the visual continuities of wall materials, faucets, showerheads and other accessories, and there are two things that can ruin a great bathroom design: messy details and poorly designed drainage and plumbing systems. With standing water in the shower base, even the most elegant and responsive bathroom can become a nightmare, which is where companies like QuickDrain USA come in \u2014 offering low-profile channel drainage systems for showers and wet areas that not only do the job, but look as unobtrusive and sleek as you need them to be.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

QuickDrain provides solutions for high-end hotel chains, large metropolitan hospitals and everyday homeowners and spans typologies and demographics by creating solutions that address both the functional and aesthetic needs of its customers. Affordability is paired with efficiency in WallDrain, an easy-to-install product that frees you up to design without worrying about performance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

The cutting-edge new WallDrain is every designer\u2019s dream-come-true because it is practically invisible. This efficient product is engineered to sit flush along the wall and provide designers with the utmost creative freedom. No attempts at stylization, no visible steel plates that clash with the design of the showerhead or handles. WallDrain is discrete, quickly installable and efficient in removing water and debris after each use. The product adage \u201cThe Beauty of What You Don\u2019t See\u201d perfectly reflects the essence of WallDrain.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

The company\u2019s patented Sure Flow System is incorporated into WallDrain, which can be installed in hours instead of taking days to finish like traditional and other brands\u2019 linear drains. By installing it in the wall and sloping the shower floor to one channel, the overall design remains undisrupted. Other hallmark QuickDrain elements are also part of the WallDrain system \u2014 ensuring complete water runoff and a smooth installation process. With conventional linear drains, standing water disappears after a while but leaves deposits that are difficult to clean and that can cause bacteria growth and buildup. With QuickDrain, these issues are practically nonexistent.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

WallDrain consists of a 316L stainless-steel channel body and a grate assembly that can be adjusted to the thickness of ceramic tiles and stone covering. It can accommodate shower lengths of 26 to 72 inches with the use of one drain and 56 to 96 inches with two drains linked together. And it can be installed with topical liquid waterproofing or a sub-drainage system (hot mop, copper or PVC pan liners). WallDrain can be installed in both curbed and curbless designs utilizing vertical and horizontal waste outlets, with the cover remaining removable for maintenance. It is possible to adapt WallDrain to different job site conditions, to ensure a high degree of customization and versatility. All sizes are available with a standard vertical drain waste outlet or a side waste outlet configuration. Like all QuickDrain USA products, WallDrain is ADA-compliant and in line with modern construction methods.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

Homeowners can use the company\u2019s online planning configurator to explore what works for the space. Before ordering WallDrain, one can simply measure the required length from finished wall to wall and, then, determine the size of the drain, outlet configuration and water volume.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

Last year, QuickDrain USA won the Architizer A+ Popular Choice and Jury Award for this innovative system, proving that both industry leaders and users appreciate the versatility, efficiency and smart design solutions offered by QuickDrain products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
