A floor drain is an essential but often overlooked part of a bathroom’s function and design. It ensures efficient water drainage, prevents moisture damage, and can also contribute aesthetically to the overall impression of the room. Today, there are many types and designs – from classic round drains to modern linear drains in stainless steel or tile inserts.

In this article, you’ll get an overview of the most important considerations when choosing a floor drain, as well as an introduction to different types and manufacturers on the market.

The article presents a wide selection of floor drains representing different designs, materials, and price ranges. The aim is to provide an overview of the most relevant solutions so you can more easily find a drain that suits your bathroom’s style and functional needs. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide an informative and neutral overview.

Factors to consider when buying floor drains

When choosing a floor drain, there are several technical and aesthetic aspects to consider. A good choice ensures both efficient drainage and a harmonious look in the bathroom.

1. Material and durability

Floor drains are typically 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 easy to install. Brass and designer drains can provide an exclusive look but require more maintenance.

2. Design and placement

Consider whether the drain should be centrally placed or integrated as a linear drain along the wall. Linear drains provide a modern look and make it easier to work with large tiles, while traditional central drains are easier to install in older bathrooms.

3. Water trap and odour barrier

An effective water trap prevents unpleasant odours from the sewer. There are both mechanical and water-based solutions – some models even have dry odour barriers, which are ideal for bathrooms that are not used daily.

4. Cleaning and maintenance

A floor drain should be easy to clean. Choose a model with a removable grate and easy access to the water trap. Some newer drainage systems have self-cleaning functions or smooth surfaces that reduce the risk of clogging.

5. Design and surface finish

Many manufacturers offer drains in different colours and finishes – for example, brushed steel, black, or brass. This allows you to match the drain with fittings and tiles for a cohesive look.

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 drains

The classic point drain is placed centrally in the floor and directs water away in all directions. It is a simple and reliable solution that works well for smaller bathrooms and traditional tile layouts.

2. Linear drains

Linear drains are long, narrow drains typically placed along the wall or in the shower area. They provide a modern look and make it possible to use large tiles with a single slope. Linear drains come in many design variants – from discreet models to decorative solutions with tile inserts.

3. Corner drains

Corner drains are ideal for small bathrooms where space is limited. They are discreetly placed in a corner and can provide a minimalist look while effectively directing water away.

4. Designer drains

Designer drains focus on aesthetics and can be almost invisible when integrated with the tiles. Some models have magnetic covers or specially designed grates that match the rest of the bathroom’s style.

Different brands of floor drains

The floor drain market includes a number of manufacturers, each specialising in different solutions and design directions.

Unidrain

Unidrain is known for its elegant linear drains that combine functionality and design. The brand has been a pioneer in wall-mounted drains and offers high-quality products with a focus on safety and aesthetics.

Blücher

Blücher produces robust drainage systems in stainless steel, used in both private homes and commercial buildings. Their products are known for durability, hygiene, and easy maintenance.

Purus

Purus offers a wide range of floor drains in both plastic and steel. They focus on flexible solutions that fit different types of floor construction and installations.

ACO

ACO is an international manufacturer with a large range of drainage systems for both residential and larger buildings. Their designer drains combine high drainage capacity with modern aesthetics.

Viega

Viega is known for innovative technical solutions and quality materials. Their floor drains are often equipped with smart features such as adjustable height and integrated odour barriers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right floor drain?

Start by assessing the size of the bathroom, tile type, and location of the shower area. Then you can choose between point, linear, or corner drains depending on design and functional needs.

Can I install a floor drain myself?

Installing a floor drain requires precision and knowledge of wet room regulations. It is recommended to have the work carried out by an authorised plumber to ensure correct slope and sealing.

How do I avoid odours from the drain?

Make sure the water trap is always filled with water, and clean the drain regularly. If the bathroom is rarely used, a dry odour barrier can be a good solution.

How do I clean a floor drain?

Remove the grate and clean the water trap of hair and soap residue. Rinse with hot water and possibly a mild cleaning agent. Avoid strong chemicals that can damage the material.

How much does a floor drain cost?

The price varies depending on material, design, and manufacturer. Simple plastic drains can be found for a few hundred kroner, while designer drains in stainless steel can cost several thousand kroner.
