Have you ever walked into a public bathroom and seen a nasty looking drain in it? One that may be discolored or gross looking? This is a very common problem in public areas. However, many homeowners love having a large, walk-in shower space. It allows them to create a bathroom that is fun and stylish. All except for the drain, which has always remained unappealing. We say, add style to your bathroom with a smart drain floor trap.
Drain traps in the past often ended up looking nasty. They get discolored. Smart drains are different. They are beautiful and can practically disappear into the tile that surrounds them. This is made possible by having tiles covering them. The tile is made to look like marble and they will just blend into the walk-in. No stepping on a grate or dealing with clogs ever again.
These traps capture hair, gunk, and other stuff so that you do not have to worry about it getting to the pipes. There are also drain traps that can capture and hold small insects like mosquitoes so that you do not have to worry about what may crawl out of it. In short, it will take all of the “yuck” out of having a drain in your bathroom.
However, if you want the drain, without the marble tile, you can have this as well. The two main color options are stainless steel or bronze, but black and white are also available. This will make it easy for you to choose a color that will coincide with the overall style of your bathroom.
The options available do not end with color or tile vs. plain. You have different hole styles to choose from and you will also have the option to not have tiny holes at all. No holes will mean that you do not see the hair that is trapped until you clean it out. Dirty water, dirt, and more will simply flow into the smart drain floor trap, around the sides of the square grate. This is ideal for public areas where no one really wants to see that other people were there before them. It will make shower cleanup much easier for your maintenance staff. Can you see a downside to that?
