πŸ’§ What Is a Shower Channel?

A shower channel, also known as a linear drain, is a long, narrow drainage system installed along one side of the bathroom or shower floor.
Unlike a traditional round or square drain that collects water at one point, a shower channel collects water evenly along its length, offering faster drainage and a sleek, modern appearance.

βš™οΈ Main Components of a Shower Channel

1️⃣ Channel Body
A stainless-steel base tray placed below the floor that channels water toward the outlet.

2️⃣ Grating / Top Cover
The visible upper part where water enters.
Eligna shower channels use premium SS304 stainless steel β€” strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant.

3️⃣ Outlet / Drain Base
Connects the channel to your bathroom’s drainage system or multi-trap line.

4️⃣ Filter / Trap Cup (optional)
Collects hair and small debris, preventing clogs and making cleaning easy.

🧱 Installation & Floor Slope

Eligna shower channels are typically installed along one wall or glass partition.
The floor is sloped gently in a single direction toward the channel β€” unlike traditional point drains that require a four-way slope.

βœ… Benefits of One-Direction Slope

  • Simpler Tiling: Perfect for large-format tiles; no angular cuts.
  • Elegant Look: Creates a flat, seamless floor finish.
  • Efficient Drainage: Water flows smoothly and quickly.
  • Easy Cleaning: Fewer corners mean less dirt and soap buildup.
