Unidrain moves the drain from its traditional position in the middle of the floor and places it up against the wall. This provides an opportunity to create open floor areas and use large tiles, and the solution is waterproof: by guarantee. The style is knife-sharp minimalism, combined with a high degree of user-friendliness – a good example of sturdy and durable Scandinavian design.

What’s more, Unidrain's rectangular grating of brushed stainless steel also conceals unique technology. The floor drain has vertical flanges which are mounted on the wall. This creates a waterproof overlap, and ensures secure fastening during the remainder of the construction process. Unidrain is an internationally registered trademark, and has been patented in Europe, the USA, Japan and China.

It took the Danish architect Claus Dyre four years to develop Unidrain, which was first marketed in 2003. But the long development time paid off, as the Danish construction industry has reported a marked reduction in faults when they build with Unidrain. Claus Dyre explains:

"When I designed the first Unidrain, I had in mind both the design-conscious consumer, the architects and designers who seek harmonious total solutions in the bathroom, and the craftsmen who will fit it."

More than 100,000 Scandinavian bathrooms have already been fitted with a Unidrain, and the drain has also been introduced in Germany, the Czech Republic and the Baltic’s. Now it is the turn of stylish Finland, where the newly-renovated Hotel Hilton in Helsinki has taken the lead and fitted Unidrain in its bathrooms. Designers and architects from all over the world, together with design-interested consumers and the world press will be able to view Unidrain at Habitare, Finland’s largest and most trend-setting design fair, on 19 – 23 September 2007. In 2005, Habitare attracted just under 100,000 visitors to the Helsinki Fair Centre, where Unidrain will take its natural place in future – in the league of ingenious, high-quality design with international potential.

Scandinavia has a tradition of roomy and clean bathroom environments full of light and air. Unidrain occupies a natural place on the market, given the international taste for the Scandinavian design tradition with natural materials, simple and user-friendly design, and the tradition of utilising design classics in everyday life, right down to floor level.



Facts:

Unidrain represents Danish design at its best. Here, form, function and user-friendliness have been taken to the limit, producing an optimum fitting process – and a perfect bath experience.

Unidrain is equipped with vertical flanges which create a waterproof connection with the wall, while at the same time ensuring precise and responsible fitting during the entire construction process.

Unidrain consists of five parts: the drain unit, the outlet unit, the frame, the grating and the strainer. These are easy to take apart, streamlined and simple, and thereby easy to clean.

You can create your own customised Unidrain with the design, function and technical solution of your choice, as the five parts offer a total of more than 2,000 different combination possibilities.

There are three Unidrain systems: 1000 Line, 2000 Corner and 1100 Module. The latter is for large bathrooms, and provides great potential for individual adaptation.

In all, more than 100,000 Unidrains have been installed around the world.
