Practical shower plugs

Just like a bathtub, a shower needs a shower plug. Even though they are largely designed to allow water to flow through, the water in the shower tray is intended to be collected more often than expected. Be it because the apartment only has a shower and the residents' small children want to take a bath. Be it because laundry needs to be soaked, curtains washed, or the dog needs to be bathed. So a shower plug is a must.

Unlike bathtub plugs, different criteria apply to shower plugs. Since the shower tray is very shallow, the water must not rise up under any circumstances. To prevent overflow over the edge of the shower tray, the shower stopper is shaped like a pipe. It is open at the top to allow excess water to drain into the shower drain before it spills over the edge of the shower tray. The lower part of the plug, like bath plugs, consists of a rubber seal.

Cover for the shower drain in walk-in showers

The situation is different with the increasingly popular walk-in showers. These are particularly popular with seniors as they avoid a major tripping hazard. A shower without a tub can also be designed to be more spacious; it is not subject to the narrow dimensions of a prefabricated shower tray, but can be framed with a larger shower enclosure as desired.
Even with a walk-in shower, the unsightly shower drain should be hidden. Since the shower drain is super flat, the cover must also be as flat as possible. On the one hand, a flat cover for the shower drain does not disrupt the look of the walk-in shower. And more importantly, a shower plug sticking out would be a tripping hazard. Combined with wet, slippery surfaces and limited visibility due to water vapor, the risk of serious injury would be enormous.

Plug for shower drain: super flat plug in combination with classic shower plug

The ideal implementation for closing the shower drain in classic shower trays is a combination of both: a conventional, high shower plug for the children's bathroom, washing the dog and soaking the laundry. And a flat shower drain cover for normal, everyday showers. On the one hand, this reduces the risk of falling in the shower. On the other hand, the shower drain looks nicer with an attractive closure. Here too you can choose from various chic motifs, a bright flower meadow, a dolphin, graphic patterns or cheeky sayings. Very classic covers that are intended to be reminiscent of bygone times of the Belle Epoque are also available. In this way, the bathroom can be enhanced with a visual highlight and the unsightly shower drain is perfectly covered.
