EXF Linear Shower Drain 24 in Tile Insert - Low Profile Brushed

Our review of the EXF Linear Shower Drain 24 in Tile Insert finds it best for homeowners and renovators who want a low-profile, durable channel drain that blends into tile floors and keeps water moving away quickly. The single biggest reason to buy is its reversible design: a flat brushed stainless face or a tile-insert side that lets the drain disappear into the shower floor while offering an easy lift-out cover for cleaning. The review focuses on real-world use, installation fit, and how the AISI 304 stainless finish stands up in daily bathroom conditions.

Key Features

• 24 in length: A full 2 ft span gives wider coverage than a point drain and works well under long shower pans.
• AISI 304 stainless steel: Brushed surface treatment resists corrosion and scratches for long-term durability in wet environments.
• Reversible design: One flat side and one tile-insert side allow the drain to either blend into tile or present a clean stainless face.
• Removable cover: The 2-in-1 grate lifts out easily with the included hook for routine cleaning and hair removal.
• Adjustable feet: Two leveling feet let installers fine-tune height so the drain sits flush with the finished floor.
• Fast drainage: A 2 in center outlet and open grate geometry let water flow quickly, helping reduce standing water and odors.

Who It's For

This drain is aimed at DIY renovators, contractors, and homeowners replacing or upgrading shower drainage who want a sleek, modern look and a tile-integrated appearance. It makes the most sense in tiled showers where an embedded, nearly invisible drain is desired and where the installer can take advantage of the adjustable feet and hubless base for a straightforward fit.

It is less suitable for projects that need decorative finishes other than brushed stainless or for installations that require very low-profile feet beyond the product's leveling range. If you need a custom-color drain or an outlet size other than the standard 2 in center hub, look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Clean, modern look with a reversible tile-insert option that integrates into the floor.
• Durable AISI 304 construction and brushed finish resist rust and scratches in wet areas.
• Removable grate and lifting hook make routine maintenance straightforward.
• Adjustable feet simplify getting a flush final height during installation.

Cons

• Some users report the leveling feet do not go quite low enough for every substrate, so final height adjustment can be limited.
• Only available in brushed stainless look out of the box, which may not fit every design palette.
