TECEdrainline shower channel
NEW: shower channels TECEdrainline and TECEdrainline-Evo
The coloured shower channels for TECEdrainline and TECEdrainline-Evo complement the extensive range of our premium shower channels. The scratch and impact-resistant surface is also very easy to clean. You can find more information on our TECEspotlight innovations platform.
TECEdrainline – the versatile shower channel
With the TECEdrainline shower channel, you can rely on effective shower drainage, purist aesthetics and maximum reliability. Simply attractive and without airs and graces.
Modern drainage works reliably - without being in the foreground itself. That's why the TECEdrainline shower channel in the modular system offers numerous variants of different covers, which allow it to fit almost seamlessly into any shower space. In addition, you have a large selection of different channel bodies. These make the installation of a shower channel at any desired position of the shower area quick, safe and reliable.
Whether as the classic TECEdrainline with stainless steel flange and Seal System sealing tape or new as TECEdrainline-Evo with factory-fitted sealing collar in the construction time protection and combined secondary drainage. What they all have in common is the perfect processing of easy-to-clean materials, which make the TECEdrainline shower drain channel not only durable, but also so practical. And that applies to both installation and use.
Elegance in black and white
Thanks to the elegant colour options, a harmonious or contrasting atmosphere can be created in the bathroom and in the shower when combined with large-format, black or white tiles and corresponding fittings and flush plates - because purist staging with highlights or tone-on-tone is the trend.
Matching flush plates from the TECEsquare series are also available from TECE in white satined glass or black satined glass.
In any case, the new covers look extremely elegant on the seamless stainless steel body of the shower channel - and are also very easy to clean. They extend the TECEdrainline modular system, in which numerous design covers and gratings can be combined with different channel bodies.
TECEdrainline – one name, two products
When it comes to shower channels, we at TECE distinguish between the classic TECEdrainline and the new generation TECEdrainline-Evo. Each version of the shower drain channel has its advantages. One thing is certain: both shower channels are ideal shower drainage solutions.
The new generation: TECEdrainline-Evo
For all those who like things simple! The new generation of the shower channel, which has been used millions of times, simplifies installation for plumbers and tilers and puts an end to the either/or between capillary protection edge and secondary drainage. The proven product features, such as the easy-to-clean stainless steel channel with capillary protection edge, remain unchanged. Find out more about the new generation TECEdrainline-Evo here.

And the inner values of the shower drain channel are also convincing
Where some shower channels show their unattractive side, TECEdrainline is even more convincing: with radiant cleanliness in no time at all.
The shower drain remains clean thanks to:
- a capillary protection edge that prevents the penetration of dirt under the tile covering
- the seamless stainless steel body, which is easy to clean and to which no dirt can adhere
- an effective hair sieve that keeps the pipeline clean
- the two-stage membrane odour trap against evaporation of sealing water
- an internal gradient that reduces deposits in the channel body to a minimum
Shower channels offer the option of conveniently draining shower water. TECE shower channels do this with an attractive design and proven hygiene and technology. The shower area can be tiled continuously and uniformly when using shower channels. The cover of the channel can also be covered with floor tiles, making the shower channel very visually restrained and "almost invisible".
Shower channels are line drains. Point drains, on the other hand, drain the water to a point formed as a "point" in the design. With point drains, a slope on several sides must be created towards the drain. This leads to additional joints in the floor covering along the slope. With shower channels, only a one-sided slope towards the channel is required. This means that there are no additional joints in the floor covering. This can be visually advantageous, especially with large-format tiles.
The optimum size of the shower channel is determined by the geometry of the shower area. The length can be selected as desired, taking into account the direction of the slope. Ideally, the shower channel should only be slightly smaller than the width of the shower area (approx. 10-15 cm) so that the sealing can be connected securely and professionally at the sides.
The grate / cover is to be removed, cleaning can then be carried out with a suitable soft cloth. Detailed instructions can be found in our care instructions: https://www.tece.com/sites/default/files/media-documents/main/2020-03/A…
When selecting a shower channel, attention should be paid to various things: sufficient slope, positioning, sealing, etc. Basically, we recommend installation by an expert plumber and tiler.

Yes, in any case, a slope must be provided in the shower area targeted to the drainage solution.
