Product Specifications

Sleek Linear Design

The Strip Grate VL is designed to provide a discreet alternative to traditional shower wastes. Its slim linear profile integrates neatly into the shower floor, helping create a clean and contemporary appearance.

The Matte Black Chrome finish adds a distinctive modern look to the shower area and works particularly well with contemporary bathroom fixtures and fittings. The grate features smooth contours designed to help prevent hair and debris from becoming trapped.

Flexible Installation

The Strip Grate VL is designed to accommodate a range of shower layouts and installation requirements. The collection channel can be cut to the precise length required onsite, allowing installers to achieve the desired fit for the shower area.

The kits are available in 750mm, 900mm, 1200mm, 1500mm and 2250mm lengths and can be cut to length or joined together where required.

The outlet spigot can also be positioned wherever necessary along the collection channel. This provides flexibility when connecting the drain to new or existing plumbing.

20mm Snap-Off Upstand

A 20mm removable snap-off upstand runs along the collection channel to assist with waterproofing where the shower drain is installed against a wall.

The upstand provides a practical solution for installations where the grate is positioned against the wall, allowing the shower area to be waterproofed and tiled neatly. When the grate is positioned away from the wall, the upstand can be broken off to suit the installation.

20mm Waterproofing Flange

The collection channel features a 20mm flange, allowing it to be waterproofed into place as part of the shower installation.

After the shower channel has been installed into the shower base, the tiler can run the screed up to the drain. The waterproofer can then waterproof over the screed and grate system before the area is prepared for tiling.

Easy to Install

The Strip Grate VL is designed to make installation straightforward for tradespeople. The grate can be cut to the required size, while the end caps and spigot are glued into position before the system is installed into the shower base.

Once the screed and waterproofing have been completed, the shower area is ready for tiling. The unique spacer system allows the grate to be raised to the appropriate height, helping achieve a flush finish with the surrounding floor tiles.

Flexible Outlet Positioning

The Strip Grate VL provides flexible outlet positioning by allowing the spigot to be located along the collection channel where required. This makes it easier to work around different plumbing configurations and align the shower drain with the existing pipework.

The collection channel is designed to connect directly to a 50mm PVC S-trap, integrating the shower drain into the plumbing system.

Matte Black Chrome Finish

The Matte Black Chrome-plated finish provides a distinctive contemporary appearance while maintaining the smooth profile of the Strip Grate VL design.

The chrome-plated surface features a smooth, durable finish with resistance to wear and corrosion. Regular care and appropriate cleaning can help maintain the appearance of the grate over time.

Shower Grate Cleaning & Aftercare

To help maintain the appearance of the Matte Black Chrome-plated shower grate, clean regularly using mild soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth.

Avoid harsh chemical cleaning products and abrasive materials, as these may scratch or mark the surface of the grate. After cleaning, allow the grate to dry completely before placing it back into the channel to help minimise water spots.

Regular, gentle cleaning and appropriate aftercare will help preserve the finish and appearance of the shower grate for years to come.

A Stylish and Practical Shower Drain

Combining a slimline profile, flexible installation options and a distinctive Matte Black Chrome finish, the Strip Grate VL Linear Shower Drain provides a practical drainage solution for contemporary shower installations.

With its cut-to-length collection channel, adjustable spigot positioning, removable upstand, 20mm waterproofing flange and tile-height spacer system, the Strip Grate VL is designed to make installation efficient while delivering a clean, finished appearance.
