Linear drains and custom pans that move water efficiently and look clean

A linear drain places a slim channel along a wall or entry so the floor can slope one way, which suits large tile and curbless showers.

Linear Drains & Custom Pans

The drain and the pan under the tile decide how well a shower works. A linear drain runs along one edge, so the floor slopes in a single plane, which suits large-format tile and makes curbless entries easier. A center drain with a four-way slope is the traditional choice, and a custom pan can be shaped for any size or layout.

We build pans with the right slope, a continuous waterproof membrane and a drain set at the right height. Across Nashville and Middle Tennessee we install stainless, tile-in and decorative linear drains and test every pan with water before we tile.

FAQ

Common questions about linear drains & pans

Are linear drains hard to clean?

No. Most have removable covers or grates that lift out for cleaning.

Do linear drains work with any tile?

They suit large tile especially well, because the floor needs only one slope.

What is a custom pan?

A pan built on site to the size and shape of your shower, instead of a prefabricated base.
