Hasen Tips: Installing a Drain in Your Shower

Installing a shower drain may seem like a small detail, but it plays a vital role in your bathroom’s overall functionality. A well-installed drain ensures efficient water flow, protects against leaks, and adds to the clean, modern look of your shower space. At Hasen, we specialize in high-quality shower drainage systems, and we’re here to share essential tips for a smooth installation.

Start by ensuring the shower floor has the correct slope—typically a minimum of 1-2%—to allow water to flow naturally into the drain. Next, choose a drain that suits your bathroom layout. Linear drains are ideal for contemporary designs, while center drains are more traditional but just as effective. Always use corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel for long-term durability.

Before installation, check that the waterproofing membrane is properly applied and sealed. This is critical to preventing water damage beneath the surface. Use premium sealants and fittings to create a tight, leak-proof connection.

Once the drain is in place, perform a water test before laying tiles or finishing the floor. For a seamless result, align the drain with your tile pattern.
