Abstract
A water drain that is used in areas with wet floors such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, terraces, balconies, gardens, and ensures that the water to be evacuated is transmitted to the sewer and characterized in that; including primary body, floor drain and waterproofing membrane integrated with flange to ensure a complete sealing by wrapping the usage area all around with the bundling method without being exposed to any damage by cutting during the process of dimensioning the body by cutting according to application area, without the need of cutting and patching processes.
Claims15
A self-slanted, waterproof ready-made shower floor assembly comprising:
- a primary body comprising a flange configured to be connected with a pipe piece adapted to be connected with an installation drain;
- at least one additional body configured to be mechanically connected with the primary body on an outer perimeter of the primary body;
- a floor drain integrated with the primary body;
- and
- a waterproofing membrane integrated with the flange, wherein:
- the primary body and the at least one additional body each have a directional slope in a range of 0.1-5% toward the floor drain, and
- the water proofing membrane integrated with the flange is larger than the area of the primary body and is adapted to be adhered on top of the primary body and the at least one additional body upon installation of the shower floor.
A method to provide water drains in areas with wet floors ensuring water discharge to the sewer and including the process steps of:
- a) determining dimensions of the wet area,
- b) providing a primary body comprising a flange, wherein the flange is integrated with a waterproofing membrane, and at least one additional body, wherein a combined area of the primary body and the at least one additional body equals to the wet area,
- c) locking the primary body and the at least one additional body mechanically to each other;
- d) installing the locked bodies of step c) on the floor with an adhesive mortar so that the the flange integrated into the body coincide from a center with an installation drain;
- e) joining a pipe piece with the installation drain by applying glue to a lower end of the pipe piece and passing the pipe piece through the flange;
- f) securing connection of the pipe piece to the flange by turning a lock piece along channels on the flange until a “click” sound;
- g) locating a height adjustment piece into the lock piece by rotating the height adjustment piece;
- h) adhering the waterproofing membrane to the at least one additional body;
- and
- i) applying adhesive mortar for attaching surface material.
