Barrier Free Drains

Installing a shower drain without a curb, barrier, or threshold creates a seamless look with easy accessibility to the wet area. To achieve an ideal installation, floor heights should be equal between the shower area (wet area), outside the shower (dry area), and next room. Specific conditions will determine what is involved.

The FF and FT offer the lowest overall heights with the use of liquid applied or fabric sheet waterproofing membranes. In addition, we offer a product (ST 65) to allow the linear channel channel to recess into the subfloor. When there is no wall or glass enclosure the dry side of the shower should have a slight pitch towards the linear system to ensure proper drainage.

When traditional membranes such as PVC Liners, Rubber Liners, Hot Mops, Copper Pans, Lead Pans, or Fiberglass need to used our Site Sizable or FX models can be used. With these types of installations it is advised that the subfloor be recessed below the dry area of the bathroom, or the membrane should be installed into the dry area and sloped to the central clamp down drain body.

Infinity Drain recommends working with a licensed professional who is familiar with local codes and installation requirements.

The Bathroom Fan: The Forgotten Fixture

If you are like most homeowners, you don't use the exhaust fan in your bathroom; it's too loud and very annoying. Masking unpleasant odors with aerosol sprays and plug-in air fresheners only adds more odors and chemicals to the air. Opening a window is not enough and may not always be practical or safe.

The quietest room in the house just got quieter. Aero Pure ENERGY STAR qualified bathroom fans are among the industry's quietest bathroom ventilation fans and offer homeowners savings on energy bills without sacrificing performance and style.

Why Ventilate?

Today’s homes are designed to be more airtight and energy efficient than they were in the past. These improvements make it difficult for your home to breathe; the amount of air that can “leak” in and out of your home is limited. The EPA estimates that the level of indoor pollutants and containment's inside your home may be two to five times greater than those found in outdoor air. Without proper ventilation, indoor pollutants given off from cleaning chemicals, finishes, furnishings, and daily living activities build up.

Effective ventilation is especially important in bathrooms, which experience high levels of odors and excess moisture. Excessive moisture peels paint and wallpaper, rots windowsills, warps doors, and promotes the growth of mold and mildew. Efficient Aero Pure quiet bathroom ventilation fans clear the air, removing unpleasant odors, chemicals, and moisture before they become a problem.

Proper bathroom ventilation is a must- to help remove unpleasant and inconvenient odors and to reduce the harmful effects of excessive moisture and the growth of mold and mildew.
