Luxurious Design with Extra Capacity

What is a made to measure wet room drain?

Bespoke wet room drains, or gullies are channel drains manufactured to suit the exact dimensions of your wetroom. They can be made to any length and can run along several walls if required. Many Architects, Interior Designers and Developers use bespoke drains for not just changing rooms, but for luxury wet room and design led bathrooms.

 

Bespoke Drain Construction 

Made to measure shower drains are welded together in a factory environment to provide a continuous drain body for a secure and safe installation. In terms of design options, our modular drains are available in a full range of finishes from traditional wet room grates, to tiled covers and a range of colour panels.  Every drain comes with a full warranty for peace of mind.

 

Bespoke Wetroom Design Options

Most made to measure drains are designed to fit the shower dimensions and floor construction. The modular channel drain can bend 90 degrees in the shower area, or the gully can extend the entire length of your bathroom to help with large wet room designs, multiple shower heads and body jets. With the desire to turn bathrooms into a luxurious place to relax, bespoke channel drains open up a world of design possibilities.

Increase Drain Capacity 

 Bespoke drain systems are a great solution for achieving high water capacity while retaining a minimum floor void.  In order to achieve a wet room which can cope with a high volume of water with a low construction height, our low profile outlet is ideal.  All of our channel drains over 1.2m come with multiple outlets to double up on capacity.  If you would like to learn more about wet rooms with minimum floor void, check out our recent blog post.
