Promising New Shower Products



I'm intrigued by a new idea in shower drains that may eliminate the need for that round center drain. This Quick Drain product is a low profile stainless steel linear drain. It's 1-1/2" wide and fits nicely at the entrance to the shower or up against a wall. This eliminates the need for all 4 sides of the shower to slope to the middle and could be a valuable option when accomodating a special needs piece of equipment. www.quickdrainusa.com

Another interesting shower product is a new sustainable flooring product for wet applications. I love this idea!!- post industrial wine corks cut into 1/4" thick slices on 12" x 24" sheets. This sustainable floor is advertised as being slip resistant, accoustical and perfect for showers and pool surrounds. Cork is a great green product so this would add LEED points to a project. Being a wine lover here in Northern Michigan wine country, I'm excited about the design possiblities this flooring offers. - Nancy
