ABOUT UNIDRAIN

From floor drains to design icon

In 2003, the architect Claus Dyre developed a linear floor drain to be placed against the wall. This was the start of Unidrain and since then, various products have been added, all with the same focus on both functionality and design.

Today there are over 1,000,000 Unidrain installations worldwide and Unidrain is no longer just a manufacturer of floor drains, but a design icon in the modern bathroom.

The Eight Lines

Unidrain’s logo features eight lines that trace back to the original revolutionary product: The line drain. The eight lines symbolise the innovative and original Colomn grating and represent the drain’s main function: Diverting the water. The eight lines form a logo together with our brand name.

Over the years, Unidrain has grown as a company, and with the introduction of the accessories series: Reframe Collection, we’ve moved beyond the shower cubicle. For that reason we’ve given the Reframe Collection its own logo, but with the same eight lines.

The lines are an integral part of the design of Unidrain products.

An Idea Becomes Reality

Unidrain’s unique floor drain system became the industry’s preferred solution in just a few years. Today, there are more than 1,000,000 Unidrain installations worldwide, and Unidrain has moved from being a manufacturer of floor drains to a design icon in modern bathrooms.

Unidrain’s line drain, mounted against the wall, was developed by the Danish architect Claus Dyre in 2003. Every time he were to design a bathroom, he was met with the challenge of having to break beautiful and large tiles in the shower area to make the drain fit in the middle of the floor. An idea began to sprout in his creative mind and not long after the world’s first drainage system mounted against the wall was designed and approved.

This was the foundation on which Unidrain was built. Unidrain has grown over time, and so has our product range. More lengths, shapes and colours have been added, which has given our customers more unique opportunities. We’ve also added several product categories, including GlassLine, MatLine and an accessories series; Reframe Collection.

Unidrain’s products can be used in all types of project: Both renovation and new builds, and in the private and public-sector. All Unidrain products have been developed by Danish architects in close collaboration with experts in wet room technology, both locally and internationally.

Unidrain’s floor drains have won internationally renowned design prizes, including the ‘iF product design award’ and the ‘Danish Design Prize’ for the HighLine series. In 2015 Claus Dyre received the ‘Villum Foundation Building Component Prize’ for his invention of the linear floor drain.
