Square Drains for Tiled Shower Installations
Square drains are floor drain assemblies designed for use in tiled shower systems where clean lines, reliable drainage, and compatibility with modern waterproofing methods are required. A square shower drain integrates directly into bonded waterproofing membranes and tiled assemblies to help manage water flow and support proper shower floor slope. These drains are commonly selected for contemporary shower layouts that prioritize precise alignment and consistent performance.
This collection includes square drains, square drain covers, tileable drain covers, drain grates, drain connectors, and drain risers used in residential and commercial shower installations. Square drains are available in multiple configurations to accommodate different plumbing layouts, cover styles, and installation preferences.
Square shower drain assemblies are designed to work as part of a complete shower system, supporting waterproofing continuity and long-term durability.
Types of Square Shower Drains & Components
- Tileable Drains (Tile-In Drains): Allow tile to be installed into the square drain cover for a nearly seamless appearance
- Square Drain Grates: Visible grate-style covers designed to allow water to pass through while maintaining a finished look
- Drain Connectors: Used to connect drain bodies to plumbing waste lines
- Drain Risers: Used to adjust drain height to match floor thickness
How to Choose a Square Drain
- Waterproofing System Compatibility: Confirm the drain is designed to work with your bonded waterproofing membrane
- Outlet Size & Orientation: Match the drain to the plumbing connection size and layout
- Cover Style: Choose between a tileable drain cover or exposed drain grate
- Material: Stainless steel and similar corrosion-resistant materials are commonly used
