A floor drain is an important part of the bathroom’s function, but it also plays a role in the overall impression of the room. Today, there are many design options that combine effective drainage with a sleek look. Whether you are renovating an existing bathroom or building a new one, the right floor drain can contribute to comfort, hygiene, and aesthetics.

In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to consider when choosing a floor drain, as well as an introduction to different types and brands that offer modern solutions for all home styles.

The article presents a selection of floor drains that represent different types, designs, and price ranges. The aim is to provide an informative overview of the features and characteristics you can find on the market. The information is based on publicly available product descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and has been summarised to give a clear picture of the possibilities.

Factors to consider when buying a floor drain

When choosing a floor drain, it’s important to consider functionality, design, and installation. Here are some of the most important factors to keep in mind.

1. Material and durability

Floor drains are usually made of stainless steel, plastic, or brass. Stainless steel is popular for its durability and resistance to corrosion, while plastic drains are often cheaper and easier to install. Brass and other metals are often used in design solutions where aesthetics play a central role.

2. Design and placement

A modern floor drain can be much more than a round grate in the middle of the floor. Linear drains, corner drains, and wall-mounted drains provide greater freedom in bathroom design. Consider the placement in relation to the floor slope and the desired tile layout so that water is drained away effectively.

3. Water trap and odour barrier

A good water trap prevents odours from the drain. Many newer models have removable traps that make cleaning easier. There are also dry traps that are particularly suitable for rooms that are rarely used, as they do not dry out.

4. Cleaning and maintenance

A floor drain should be easy to clean. Choose a model where the grate can be removed without tools and where you can easily remove hair and soap residue. Some drains have integrated filters that collect dirt and make maintenance quicker.

5. Price and quality

The price depends on the material, design, and manufacturer. A simple plastic drain may be sufficient in a utility room, while an exclusive stainless steel linear drain can be an investment in the bathroom’s overall impression. Consider how much you want to prioritise design in relation to function.

Different types of floor drains

There are several types of floor drains, each with its own advantages depending on the bathroom’s layout and design preferences.

1. Point drain

The classic point drain is the most common type. It is usually placed centrally in the shower area and requires a slope towards the middle from all sides. It is a simple and reliable solution that suits most bathrooms.

2. Linear drain

Linear drains, also called channel drains, have become popular in modern bathrooms. They are often placed along the wall or by the shower enclosure and provide an elegant, minimalist look. They also make it easier to lay large tiles since the slope only needs to go in one direction.

3. Corner drain

Corner drains make efficient use of space and can be a good solution in small bathrooms. They provide a discreet appearance and can be integrated almost invisibly into the tiling.

4. Wall drain

Wall drains are a newer solution where the water is drained through a grate in the wall instead of the floor. This gives a very clean look and makes cleaning easier since there are no joints in the middle of the floor.

Different brands of floor drains

There are many manufacturers offering floor drains in different designs and qualities. Here are some of the best-known on the market.

Unidrain

Unidrain is known for its elegant linear drains that combine functionality with Scandinavian design. The brand focuses on quality, safety, and aesthetics and offers solutions suitable for both private and professional bathrooms.

Blücher

Blücher manufactures robust drainage systems in stainless steel and is particularly known for its durability and high hygiene standards. The range extends from classic point drains to modern design drains.

Purus

Purus offers a wide range of floor drains in both plastic and stainless steel. They are known for their user-friendly solutions and innovative water traps that make cleaning easier.

Viega

Viega combines German quality with modern design. Their floor drains are often equipped with smart technical details that make installation and maintenance easy, while fitting into today’s minimalist bathroom style.

Geberit

Geberit is one of the most recognised manufacturers in plumbing and offers both traditional and wall-mounted drainage systems. Their products are known for reliability, high functionality, and clean design.

Frequently asked questions

How often should you clean your floor drain?

It depends on how much the bathroom is used. As a rule of thumb, you should clean the drain every two to four weeks to avoid blockages and bad odours. Remove hair and soap residue and rinse with hot water.

Can I replace a floor drain myself?

Replacing a floor drain often requires work on the floor structure and should be carried out by an authorised plumber. However, smaller parts such as grates and water traps can usually be replaced by yourself.

What is the difference between a wet room-approved floor drain and a regular one?

A wet room-approved floor drain is tested and approved for use in bathrooms and other areas with high moisture exposure. This ensures that the drain can be installed watertight and meets the requirements for wet room safety.

How do I avoid odours from the floor drain?

Odours usually occur if the water trap dries out or is clogged. Make sure to clean regularly and pour some water into the drain if it’s not used often. Alternatively, you can choose a model with a dry trap.

Can I get a designer drain that matches my tiles?

Yes, many manufacturers offer grates that can be tiled so that the drain becomes almost invisible. This gives an exclusive and uniform look in the bathroom.
