Not only is QuARTz by ACO the most efficient shower drain in the USA, it's also the most stylish, elegant, and functional drain you can buy in the USA.

The QuARTz is a linear shower channel drain newly introduced in the United States but highly popular in Europe for the past few years. If you are looking for new, stylish, fixtures to revamp the bathroom and shower and something that clears away the water from the wet areas, the best choice for a quick drain in the USA is QuARTz by ACO.

Beauty and Functionality finally meet

Of all the rooms in the house, the bathroom is typically the smallest, but only the kitchen contains more decisions about design, style and architecture than does the bathroom. Maybe not surprisingly, then, is that the renovations you make to the kitchens and bathrooms have a greater effect on the marketability of a house. The bathroom will present some of the greatest challenges in a remodel or new construction, but it also contains some of the greatest opportunities for self-expression through unique arrangements, floor plans, and fixtures.

Up until now, the common drain was simply a hole in the floor with a cover on it. Bathroom and utility room floor drains have remained the forgotten outer regions of the fixture world—but that has all changed now.

Flexibility in Style Choices

The QuARTz shower channel is now available as the newest of quick drains. Style, beauty, and functionality finally meet. The QuARTz comes in two finishes: electro-brushed stainless steel for a more contemporary look and oil-rubbed bronze for a more traditional or rustic European look. The drain slots come in eight different styles of grates. The drain size comes in the width of standard tile—finally a drain that doesn't take difficult, wasteful, tricky cuts of tile to install! The QuARTz shower channels also come in a variety of lengths (28", 32", 36", 40", and 48"). By combining the sizes together, you can create a water barrier around any wet zone without having to have other walls, half-walls or doorways spoiling your open floor plan.

Something else, completely unique

There is one more unique feature that surpasses the imagination of what beauty and ambiance can be brought to a bathroom design—the QuARTz shower channel comes with the option of a water-activated, LED light kit in your choice of color. This is an amazing-looking, attractive feature that you almost have to see to believe.

How do the LED lights work?

The LED light kit backlights the distinctive slot patterns in the grate, turning on automatically when there is flowing water in the drain and shuts down within seconds after water stops flowing through the drain. The lights are powered by rechargeable, low-voltage batteries that attach to the underside of the grate (except when tile is used as the insert). When the shower water starts to run, the water completes the electrical circuit turning the lights on; when the shower water stops running, the circuit is broken and the lights turn off. Each full charge should last about three months based on fifteen minutes of operation per day.

Now, there's a real choice!

With the variety of grate designs, the color and metal choices, and the flexibility of length, there is one more option: you can use your own tile in place of the grate. That leaves a slim channel around the grate/tile area with little visible space but a great deal of drainage area to quickly clear the water away. Because of the styling and flexibility of this quick drain, no special complex grading system needs to be part of the floor design and you can place the drains next to the walls, in the center, or at the threshold of an area to keep the wet zones and dry zones separate.
