TECEdrainprofile – Introduction Introduction The TECEdrainprofile shower profile enables recessed drainage to be easily implemented across the entire width of the shower area, making installation and sealing easier for technicians, and cleaning easier for users. In typical cases, a piece of tile is precisely cut down to size and fitted in place to cover the gaps between the standard dimension shower channel and the sides of the shower zone. This spoils the visual appearance of the tile back slash, particularly in the case of modern, large-format tiles. With the TECEdrainprofile shower...

TECEdrainprofile – Planning DIN 18534 “Waterproofing for indoor applications” consists of the following parts: Sealing • Part 1: Requirements and principles for design and execution Components and structural elements are constantly • Part 2: Waterproofing with waterproofing materials in subjected to moisture. In the interior area, many “wet and sheet form humid rooms” are affected by this: Bathrooms, washrooms • Part 3: Waterproofing with liquid-applied waterproofing and kitchens in the private sector, commercial kitchens, materials in conjunction with tiles and paving (AIV-F) washing...

TECEdrainprofile – Planning Water action classes according to DIN 18534-1 In DIN 18534, the “moisture stress classes” known from the ZDB “Composite seals” bulletin have been replaced by “water action classes”. Water action classes can be broken down as follows: Water action classes Application examples*/** Areas exposed to infrequent splashing • Wall areas above washstands in bathrooms and sinks in domestic kitchens • Polymer dispersions (wall and floor) • Floor areas without drainage in domestic spaces, e.g. in kitchens, utility rooms, guest toilets Water action • Mineral sealing slurries...

paving in classes W0-I to W2-I for wall and floor areas not exposed to high mechanical action. Composite sealing products require either a European Technical Assessment (ETA) on the basis of ETAG 022, or a general test certificate (abP) on the basis of PG-AIV-F or PG-AIV-B. Floors and wall areas In addition to sealing materials, DIN 18534-1 also regulates suitable substrates for floors and wall areas, according to the water action class. In water action classes W0-I and W1-I, moisture-sensitive substrates are permitted under the composite seal. These are, for example, calcium sulphate-bound...

TECEdrainprofile – Planning Loading capacity of gratings Drains, drain tops and gratings must be designed so that they can withstand the expected loads (including traffic for instance). These classifications for installation inside buildings are described in DIN EN 1253-1. Max. permitted load Areas which are not expected to be loaded. Load class Application area/site Areas without vehicle traffic such as flats, commercial buildings and certain public buildings. For example, bathrooms in dwellings, hotels, retirement homes, schools, swimming pools, public washing and showering facilities,...

Shower profile position and design of incline The shower profile can be installed flush-to-wall or away from the wall. A position in the transition between the wet and dry area is not recommended. There must be an incline to the drain of at least 1 % for the shower water to flow away. Usually, an incline of 1-2 % is recommended. Further details can be found in the following installation examples. Installation examples “Flush-to-wall” installation, incline The Drainprofile shower profile has been specially developed for easy and reliable recessed installation. This means that it is installed...

TECEdrainprofile – Planning Installation close to the wall Sound insulation For sound insulation, the TECE range offers the pressure-resistant “Drainbase” sound insulation mat. Just 6 mm thick, the mat is laid throughout the whole shower area between the bare floor and the screed. In the case of flush-to-wall installations, sound insulation is enhanced by the supplied sound-proofing strips which are adapted to the contours of the Drainprofile drain. The shower profile, drain with assembly feet and wastewater pipe rest directly on the sound insulation mat which is covered by a PE sheet , and...
