FloFX Tile-In Drain Grate
FloFX Tile-In Drain Grate – Tileable Grate with Integrated Micro-Trim
The FloFX Tile-In Drain Grate is a tileable drain grate designed for a cleaner, more seamless shower floor finish. This updated version features more finish options, thinner trim, improved flow characteristics, horizontal and vertical adjustment, and solid CNC-machined metal construction.
For the most seamless look, FloFX recommends matching the grate finish to the tile color, not necessarily the plumbing or trim finish. The outside trim measures 4" x 4", and the inner tile tray measures 3" x 3".
Variant Selection Guide
| Tile Thickness Version | Choose This Option If |
|---|---|
| Thin Tile Version | Your tile is as thin as 3/16". This version works with 3/16" tile with no additional planning. It can also be used with tile thicker than 5/16" if the tile is back-grinded to fit. |
| Thick Tile Version | Your project uses thicker tile. Tile thicker than 3/8" may need to be thinned by back grinding to fit the 3" x 3" tile-in grate tray. |
