Whether you are designing a new bathroom or renovating an existing one to create a dream space, you can get a shower channel of your choice – one that will not only meet the aesthetic you desire but also deliver the functionality you expect for the life of the bathroom.

An ideal shower channel not only drains the water more efficiently, but also has improved waterproofing capabilities.

In this blog, we share the benefits of customising a stainless steel channel and how to easily create your perfect channel with Veitch Stainless Steel products.

What are the benefits of customisation?

Shower channel

There are many advantages to customising your stainless steel channel, but the primary benefit is that you have the opportunity to improve the aesthetics of your bathroom, creating your own personal style and making the shower channel compatible with other fittings.

A customised stainless steel channel also delivers improved functionality, incorporating fall to the waste outlet to give a cleaner and more hygienic channel. Additionally, the ability to add a tiling upstand provides a watertight finish, meaning there is less reliance on the waterproof membrane over time.

How does the process work?

At Veitch, we have created a unique customisation process for builders and owners, entailing the four steps below:

Step 1: Go to the Design Your Shower Channel selection page and determine the style of channel and grate that best serve your needs.

Step 2: Veitch has created a Build Your Own Shower Channel option that enables the customer to follow a few simple steps to tailor the product to their own specific needs.

Step 3: Select the template for the model that you have chosen to use, answer all the questions and add dimensions as requested to create the unique channel and grate for your shower.

Step 4: Once the Build Your Own Shower Channel is completed online, the owner or builder will have a printable sketch and an item code that can be taken to a Plumbing Merchant to be priced and ordered.

Why is using a modular design for customisation important?

When our customers use our ‘Build your own stainless steel channel’ process, they can feel confident that:

The channel will comply with standards and the construction code
The channel will be watermarked
The design is suitable for manufacture from stainless steel and the channel can be made with the machinery available
Drawings and installation instructions are available for designers, specifiers, and installers to perform their part of the building process.

What happens when the channel and grate are installed?

You will have the assurance that the channel will perform to industry expectations, and you can enjoy your bathroom with no stress about waterproof or drainage issues down the road.
