Purus, a leading Swedish manufacturer of drainage and plumbing products, has launched into the UK market to meet the expanding demand for wet rooms and walk in showers.
Suitable for both professional and domestic applications, the products will be available nationwide through Plumbing Trade Supplies.
Purus wet room drains are available in a variety of horizontal and square formats to meet most wet room requirements.
The surface strainer comes in eight different horizontal lengths, from 300mm to one metre, and eight different designs. In addition, a square strainer also is available in sizes from 155mm to 200mm. All the drains in the range can remove up to 1.2ltrs of water per second.
The company is reported to be the only manufacturer to offer a tiled drainage trap which provides an uninterrupted tile design across the wet room floor in the customer’s preferred tiling design.
Purus floor drains have been designed to be shallow, making them ideal for cramped or restricted areas where space can be a problem. The drains can be fitted in concrete floors and under suspended wood floors making them ideal for upper floors of a property.
They also contain an odour trap as standard, meaning that bad air can't come through the drain even if it is dry. This feature also ensures that water will not rise up into the room if the waste pipe becomes blocked.
Purus drains can be adjusted in height giving greater flexibility for a range of tiles. The drains are also designed to be fitted in conjunction with a waterproof membrane and can as well be used for vinyl flooring.
