How to work around drains and channels?
Updated: 15.07.2026
✓
Details around drains must be straight, solid, waterproof and well sealed.
Detailed answer
The area around drains and channels is a technical detail, not a decorative improvisation. Proper slope, waterproofing, and no depressions where water can collect must be ensured. For channels, the specific type matters, so it is advisable to plan the detail in advance and possibly create a suitable joint filled with a non-absorbent material. There must be a slope ensured and no depression in front of the channel where water could stand. The processing depends on the specific type of channel. For detailed instructions, please contact us with the exact channel type. Generally, it is recommended to create a joint around the channel filled with a non-absorbent material such as Aqua Base grout or epoxy.
Common mistakes
- underestimating waterproofing and connection details
- poorly resolved slope or drainage
- insufficient sealing of stressed areas
