In this blog post, we'll cover the basics of choosing a drain style for your bathroom. We'll break down the different types and what they're best suited for. This should help you install a new drain that will work well in your space.
There are so many different styles and shapes, what's best for me? The answer is relatively simple: it depends on the space in your bathroom. If you have a small space with no room to install a back-to-wall toilet, then an undermount or side-mounted sink will be best. However, if you have plenty of room and don't mind installing a back-to-wall toilet, then we recommend an overmount style that doesn't go up too high off the ground. These toilets give more sitting height than other styles and can help those who need assistance getting up from their seat or standing after they use the facilities.
When one decides on what sort of drain they want for their large area/room/bathroom, they have to consider what drain type is best for the individual space. Floor drains are usually installed beneath a new concrete slab, or in an area that will catch water (such as underneath a drain pan). Shower drains are usually located on the shower floor, and sink drains are usually placed inside of your sink drain hole. Consideration should be given to drain installation as some drain types require extensive plumbing work before they can be installed. In addition, one should give thought to drain finish options as finishes include polished chrome, satin nickel , and oil rubbed bronze. After making a decision, it's time to make a purchase or schedule a plumber appointment!
When it comes to plumbing, one of the most important decisions you'll make is what type of drain to install in your bathroom. There are many different types of drains available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Here are a few tips on how to choose the right drain for your needs:
1. Decide what type of drain you need. There are three main types of bathroom drains: floor drains, shower drains, and sink drains. Floor drains are designed to drain water from a large area, such as a garage or basement. Shower drains are designed to drain water from a shower or bathtub. Sink drains are designed to drain water from a sink. Choose the drain that matches the function of your bathroom.
2. Think about the drain's location. Floor drains are typically installed beneath a new concrete slab, or in an area that will catch water (such as underneath a drain pan). Shower drains are usually located on the shower floor, and sink drains are usually placed inside of your sink drain hole.
3. Consider what material is best for you drain. While drain materials vary widely by price and quality, there are basically four drain types to choose from: metal (typically cast iron or steel), plastic PVC ), glass-on-metal (which has ceramic up top and metal down below), and all-plastic (which is made entirely of plastic). Make sure you decide which type will best fit your needs.
4. Look into drain installation. Some drain types, such as floor drains, require extensive plumbing work before they can be installed. Try to choose a drain type that is the simplest for you plumber to install. It will save you money in the long run!
5. Research drain finish options. Drain finishes include polished chrome, satin nickel , and oil rubbed bronze . Be sure to look at all three styles before making a final decision on which drain finish best matches your bathroom design plan.
Now that you know what drain you need for your bathroom, it's time to make a purchase or schedule a plumber appointment!
One should consider many factors when choosing the right drain for their bathroom. What type of drain is needed- floor, shower, or sink? Where will the drain be located? What material is best for the individual drain? Is installation easy for a plumber? Are there any nice finishes to choose from? After answering all these questions, it's time to make a purchase or call a plumber!
