Caroma Floor Wastes

A floor waste (also called a floor drain or shower drain) is a drainage fitting set into the bathroom floor that collects and drains excess water. In Australian bathrooms, a floor waste is mandatory in wet areas including shower recesses and is also commonly installed in the main bathroom floor area. Floor wastes prevent water damage in the event of an overflow or in wet area bathrooms designed for accessibility.

Floor wastes are available as round, square, and linear (channel) drains in a wide range of finishes including chrome, matte black, brushed nickel, and tile-insert options that allow tiles to be laid over the grate for a seamless look. Linear floor wastes (shower channels) are particularly popular in contemporary Australian bathrooms for their streamlined appearance and ease of cleaning. All floor wastes in Australia must be installed by a licensed plumber and must comply with the relevant plumbing code.
