A linear shower drain is a type of shower drain that is designed to be installed on the floor of a shower to remove excess water. Unlike traditional round shower drains, linear shower drains have a long, rectangular shape that can be installed along one or more walls of the shower.

Linear shower drains have several advantages over traditional round shower drains. For one, they can be installed in a variety of configurations and orientations, making them ideal for use in custom showers or in spaces where a traditional drain would be difficult to install. They also often have a sleek and modern design that can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the shower.

In addition, linear shower drains typically have larger grates or strainers than traditional round drains, which can improve water flow and reduce the risk of clogs. Some models also feature adjustable grates, which can be adjusted to accommodate different thicknesses of shower flooring.

Linear shower drains can be made of a variety of materials, including stainless steel, brass, or plastic, and come in a range of sizes and styles to match different shower designs. It is important to choose a linear shower drain that is compatible with the type of shower flooring being used and to follow all manufacturer instructions for installation and maintenance to ensure proper function.
