Square Shower Drain 8ft Brushed Floor Drain with Tiled Insert - High

In this review the Square Shower Drain 8' from Bernkot is judged as a practical, durable option for homeowners upgrading a shower or wet room. Its single biggest selling point is the combination of a high flow 2' central outlet and a 2-in-1 tiled grate that lets installers choose a brushed stainless finish or hide the drain beneath tile for a seamless floor. The review focuses on performance in typical bathroom installs, ease of maintenance, and the materials that determine long term value.

Key Features

• High flow capability: The 2' central outlet handles up to 50 L/min without the hair strainer, so water evacuates quickly even in heavy use.
• SUS304 stainless steel construction: Made to US ASTM 304 standards with a brushed surface that resists corrosion and visible scratches for long life.
• 2-in-1 tiles grate: Choose the exposed brushed stainless look or insert your own tile for an invisible drain that blends with the floor.
• CUPC certified fit: Designed to fit US No-Hub coupling and certified by CUPC for compatibility with common plumbing connections.
• Maintenance conveniences: Includes a removable hair strainer, lifting hook and dust prevent cloth to simplify cleaning and installation adjustments.
• Installation accessories: Threaded adapter with O-ring and tile tray supporters are included to help level the grate and reduce metal-on-floor noise.

Who It's For

This drain is best for homeowners and remodelers who want a durable stainless option with flexible aesthetics for tiled showers, wet rooms or bathrooms; the high flow rate also makes it suitable for small wet areas like a balcony or utility space. The removable top and simple accessories mean it suits DIY installers who are comfortable with basic plumbing and tile setting.

It is less suitable for systems that require a specific manufacturer flange or bonding flange types not supported by this product; plumbing contractors using proprietary bonding flanges should confirm compatibility before buying. Also note the 2' drain flange is not included, so buyers must source the matching Bernkot ABS or PVC shower drain base if needed.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid build from SUS304 stainless gives confident corrosion resistance and a premium brushed finish.
• High flow 2' outlet drains quickly, reducing standing water in busy showers.
• Tile-in grate option creates an almost invisible drain when finished with matching tile.
• Included accessories like the lifting hook and O-ring adapter make installation and cleaning easier.

Cons

• Does not include the 2' drain flange, so an additional purchase of a compatible base is required for a complete install.
• Not compatible with all bonding flanges, so check fit for systems requiring a specific Schluter-type flange.
