The Bonded polyethylene Waterproof membrane system has the absolute best reputation in the tile and shower industry. The most popular know system is the Schluter Kerdi system. The Kerdi membrane is the orange color brand, while the Vapor-shield waterproof membrane is the green brand. Both companies have great reputations as being leak proof for 50 plus years. The Linear Drain has a 7/8" flange along the outside of the drain body. This is where the Kerdi or Vapor-shield Waterproof Membrane is attached to the Linear drain through the use of the TruSeal Adhesive Sealant.

The Barrier-Free (Curbless) TrendSome of the primary reasons that linear drains are a hot trend in these spa-like retreats, is because of the open spa-like bathroom design. The craze for the single-sloped floor toward the linear drains eliminating the need for shower curbs, shower curtains and shower doors results in a barrier-free, more relaxing spa-like atmosphere.
Barrier-free generally means the shower entry has no shower curb, curtains, or glass door. With the popularity of steam showers and steam rooms however, the presence of a glass door to trap the steam is necessary. So, showers with no curb, still qualifies as barrier-free. Barrier-free showers have absolutely become a must-have for today's elderly and aging baby boomer generation. The elderly have always craved for security, freedom of accessibility and mobility, especially when wheelchair accessibility is required. |
