Our custom linear drains are available in ready-to-order sizes or can be custom-cut to fit your exact shower dimensions. If your required length falls between our standard size increments, please contact us with the custom drain length you need, and we will customize the drain to fit your project perfectly.

A Tile Insert Linear Drain, or Invisible Drain, is a specialized solution featuring a recessed tray designed to hold a piece of the surrounding shower tile. This creates a seamless, hidden aesthetic where water disappears into a narrow perimeter gap around the insert. It provides highly efficient drainage while completely blending into the shower floor, perfect for modern, minimalist designs. Our Anodized Aluminum construction ensures the tray is lightweight and rustproof, while maintaining the precision-set depth required for the inserted tile to sit perfectly flush with the adjacent floor. Maintenance: The tile insert tray is designed to be easily removable for simple cleaning access to the drain channel.

If you need to order a custom linear drain length that exceeds 96 inches (8 ft), multiple shorter drains will be shipped and joined together with Lauxes Joiners during installation. These sections can be easily cut onsite to achieve the exact length you need.

For easy cutting of Custom grates, we recommend using a compound miter saw fitted with a multi-material cutting blade (80 teeth or more). We also recommend using a Custom TCT hole saw to drill the hole for the waste outlet.

• Cut the bottom tray 1/8" (3 mm) shorter for end caps.
• Cut the top grate 1/32" (1 mm) shorter for smooth roll-in.
• Drill waste outlet hole using the correct hole saw size.
• Apply silicone around outlet lip and secure underneath tray.

* Avoid contact with wet cement-based products during installation.

** Clean with gentle soapy water; avoid acidic/abrasive cleaners.

*** Use neutral-cure silicone when gluing tile.
