Unidrain

In 2003, unidrain® became the first company in the world to develop a line drain placed against the wall, and thereby put paid to the square grate in the middle of the floor. Since the launch, architects, experts and others with a sense of interior decoration and design have been enthusiastic about unidrain®’s simple and beautiful design. The idea behind unidrain® is simple. The floor drain is moved against the wall in a waterproof connection – and this is where the art lies. Throughout many years of working with bathroom renovations, designer Claus Dyre encountered the same problem again and again: having to cut up a beautiful tile floor to make room for the floor drain. In collaboration with the Danish Building Research Institute, he designed an oblong floor drain with a gradient in one direction that could be elegantly fitted away from the shower’s tread space. At the same time, he developed an integrated wall flange that would ensure a completely tight fitting. With its patented system – with one or more vertical wall flanges that function as seals – unidrain® has solved the challenges of making waterproof solutions for the bathroom; which historically are the construction industry’s second-biggest source damages. In just a few years, this unique system has become the construction industry’s preferred floor drain system, and today there are more than half a million installations worldwide. unidrain® has become a concept signifying modern floor drains that are placed against the wall. With our ongoing development of both building technology and design, our ambition is to continue to be the construction industry’s preferred floor drain system. unidrain® can be used in all types of buildings with tiles: in renovations, new buildings, and private and public buildings. unidrain® has all relevant local and international certifications. unidrain® has received many internationally acknowledged design awards, such as the iF Product Design Award and the Danish Design Prize for the HighLine series. In 2015, Claus Dyre was awarded with the Building Component Prize by Velux Foundations for his invention of unidrain®.
