I was wrong the drain is there I just did not see it.  I did not realize this shower has one of those linear drains.  You know the drain that’s in those trendy Aloft and Element Hotels.  Well it’s not only fashionable and luxurious it’s functional also.  Trench drains are superior to traditional drains for several reasons they install easily and take half the time it would take to install a traditional center drain system. 

When installing linear tile shower drains, the height can be adjusted to fit the unique needs of your project, making it easier for even novice DIY enthusiasts to install the system in their tile shower installation or wet room shower.

Another advantage of our trench drains for showers is that they are of universal design, meaning they can be used in an area that both able-bodied and handicapped persons can use with the same ease. If you have someone in your family who is bound to a wheelchair, the linear drain shower design creates barrier free showers for a bathroom making it easier to roll a wheelchair straight to the showers.

Top-of-the-line bathtub replacement shower pans make it easy to install a rear drain shower, low profile shower or other type of specialty shower conversion. Instead of relying on a center drain to carry water away from the floor, the shower conversion kit allows the design of a custom shower base that drains water through side outlet shower drains or back outlet with no penetration.

Apart from the obvious advantages of the design in creating handicap showers, the installation of the linear drains is also easier than the traditional center drain system. For contractors and developers, this makes building a wheelchair accessible shower easier on the budget and takes less time.
