Often used to drain water quickly, the linear drain is a type of drain made up of a drainage channel and a grate-like top.

It also drains between the gaps around it, allowing it to be covered with a finishing coat without compromising its functionality.

As well as avoiding cut-outs in the floor, the linear drain also has greater resistance and allows for a better finish.

What is a linear drain used for?

Just like other drains, the linear drain is used for water drainage, connecting the collection points, water flow and sewage. This prevents puddles and other problems, as the water is directed into the pipes.

What types of drains are there?

You can find linear drains with stainless steel, chrome or PVC grates, as well as other materials such as plastic, cast iron or bronze.

In addition, they can be produced in different sizes for customized areas in each project.

At Tecnoperfil, for example, you can find Linear Drains in 3 dimensions:

Width	Height	Length
1,5cm	2,8cm	50cm
1,5cm	2,8cm	80cm
1,5cm	2,8cm	130cm

Frequently asked questions

Difference between linear and concealed drains

Both drain models have the same function: to drain water. The main difference between them is aesthetics.

While the linear drain has a grid-shaped top, the concealed drain has only a few gaps for the water to flow through, making it practically imperceptible in the room.

Another difference that can be mentioned is that the linear drain comes in different sizes, allowing for greater versatility.

Distance of the linear drain from the wall

A very common question is how far the drain should be from the wall. Drains are usually installed close to the wall, but the ideal is to leave a few centimeters between them.

Lack of space makes waterproofing and laying the floor and wall tiles more difficult.
