The Schluter-KERDI-DRAIN is a point drain system featuring an integrated bonding flange that creates a secure, watertight connection with the KERDI waterproofing membrane. This makes it ideal for traditional showers where the floor is sloped to a single center point. These drains come in various grate designs and materials, such as stainless steel, to complement bathroom aesthetics while ensuring the drain-to-floor transition is perfectly sealed. Proper installation requires selecting the correct flange type based on your plumbing configuration (ABS, PVC, or stainless steel). Alternatively, the KERDI-LINE is a low-profile linear drain that creates a modern, sleek appearance. Because linear drains collect water along a channel, they allow the shower floor to be sloped in a single direction, which is the perfect solution for homeowners wanting to use large-format tiles or stone slabs on the shower floor. Both systems are designed to provide a robust, leak-free assembly when installed according to the manufacturer's strict guidelines. Always coordinate your drain choice with your plumbing layout and local building codes early in the project to ensure structural compatibility.
