Effective drainage is vital in every bathroom. Not only does choosing the right system result in long-term cost and time savings, it also ensures homeowners are protected in terms of health, comfort and safety.
Now, with the National Construction Code 2022 (NCC 2022) incorporating Liveable Housing Provisions for the first time, new dwellings will be required to have at least one accessible shower. Stormtech’s solution: The 120SCS Shower Screen Support drain redefines bathroom design and facilitates this while at the same time simplifying design and installation.
This all-new product is a versatile linear drainage system that provides dual function as a drain of the nonshower side of the shower screen, and a support for the shower screen itself. Made from 316 stainless steel, the 120SCS is designed for flexibility and ease of installation. Wall-to-wall installation allows a simple dual fall across the bathroom.
Additionally, as the dual fall sheds water more effectively, larger-format tiles can be used, eliminating complex labour and tile wastage. Importantly, simple dual falls are helpful for people with access and mobility issues because the shower entrance is open.
More specifically, when a shower chair or stool is used, the single plane of fall in the shower area ensures that the chair or stool will not rock. This enhances bathroom accessibility and accommodates the NDIS and Liveable Housing Provisions for future adaptive use.
Furthermore, as the drain is away from the entry door to the bathroom, any water thrown towards the door will run back to the drain. This reduces the risk of amenity loss if a water heater within the bathroom were to fail as the water spilled would drain normally instead of flooding the bathroom and then into other areas of the building.
The 120SCS represents the latest innovation in shower drainage. Available in all Stormtech designer grates and finishes, the 120SCS Shower Screen Support drain exceeds all Australian Standards, is WaterMark certified and is exclusive to Stormtech. The 120SCS Shower Screen Support drain redefines bathroom design.
