MOSAICS could be a big PROBLEM with Linear Drains. SOLUTION
SUBSCRIBE Learn how to tile the right way.
Linear drains, also known as line drains, or trench drains, are becoming more and more popular, because they open up possibilities for tile that are not available with a regular point drain. With linear drain, the shower floor will be flat, but inclined or pitched to the drain. This means that large format tiles can be used on the shower floor, small mosaics are still an option, but not a necessity. It is important to choose a suitable tile that will not become slippery in a wet environment like a shower, if large tile sizes will be installed on the shower floor. The problem with using mosaic tiles on these types of drains, is that water can puddle just in front of the drain if steps are not taken to accommodate the double thickness of membrane where they overlap to ensure a watertight shower floor. In this video I show how to overcome this problem and how to install mosaic tiles on the shower floor and the tileable drain grate. A Schluter Kerdiline drain is the product used for this shower floor.
