Wall drop strip
An increasing number of Polish bathrooms now feature floor-level shower drains. This solution has many advantages, including good looks, but it is also about comfort and the ability to create a barrier-free bathroom. Installing a linear drain requires creating a slope so that water flows in a specific direction and does not spread across the whole bathroom. This calls for an attractive finish to the enclosure, for example with elegant strips. These are, of course, available at the Balneo shop, and one of them is the wall drop strip, available in a left and a right version depending on the layout of the shower enclosure. A wall drop strip for a shower tray should offer excellent resistance to corrosion as well as mechanical damage, and allow easy cleaning. Our designers have taken great care of this!
A wall drop strip, or the combination of functionality and aesthetics
Taking a shower every day is much more enjoyable when the whole enclosure is finished with attention to the smallest details. A wall drop strip for a shower tray plays a very important role here. Profiles installed directly against the wall in enclosures with a linear drain create a slope in the floor towards the drain, preventing the bathroom from flooding. Without them, finishing the enclosure would require extremely precise tile cutting, and the result would not necessarily satisfy the household. A colour-matched, visually attractive wall drop strip that corresponds with the other elements of the room's design can become almost a decorative feature in itself.
Left and right wall drop strip for a shower tray
Different bathrooms may have different shower enclosure layouts. That is why the wall drop strip comes in two variants – left and right. The choice depends on which side the wall is on and which side the enclosure's glass elements are on. How to avoid making a mistake when choosing a wall drop strip for a shower tray? The assessment should be made while standing facing the drain: if the wall is on the left, a left wall drop strip is needed, and if it is on the right, a right one is needed. The side should therefore not be assessed while standing facing the enclosure's entrance with your back to the drain.
Wall drop strip in various colour variants
Since the aesthetics of a wall drop strip, like those of other strips in the shower enclosure, matter so much, Balneo's designers decided to give our customers a choice. We chose proven colours, the ones most commonly found in bathrooms. The colours we offer are the timeless black, inox, gold, copper and gun metal. Thanks to this, fans of different design styles will find the ideal wall drop strip for their bathroom.
Wall drop strip in an optimal length
Our wall drop strips are also available in varying lengths. We are well aware that the design possibilities for large bathrooms are practically unlimited, so the longer version of the strip – 170 cm – may prove very useful.
A wall drop strip for a shower tray that can be cut to size
With our wall drop strips, buyers can carry out non-standard designs. Profiles purchased from us can be cut to size so that they fit perfectly with the layout and dimensions of the shower enclosure. The lengths we offer – 120 cm and 170 cm – are therefore a base for a precise installation.
Unique features of Balneo's wall strips
At Balneo, we have always focused on the highest quality and listened to our customers' needs. As a result, the wall drop strip from our shop is an extremely well-thought-out product that stands out from the competition. Here are a few examples of the solutions we use.
Balneo wall drop strip for a shower tray – main features:
Resistance to corrosion and abrasion – our drop strips are made of very high-quality AISI 304 stainless steel. Thanks to this, they perform excellently in the demanding, humid conditions of a shower enclosure. They are reliably resistant to scratching and abrasion, so they retain their attractive appearance for a long time. In addition, this grade of stainless steel guarantees resistance to corrosion.
Simple installation – we know well that many of our customers finish or renovate their bathroom on their own, which is why we made sure the strip is simple to install. Cutting it to size does not require specialist tools, which in practice means savings in both cost and time.
Precision – the careful workmanship of our profiles allows for a very precise setting of the slope and tile installation, so that no nooks remain where moisture could accumulate, and water flows straight to the drain.
All these features, combined with an attractive appearance, are why our customers value our wall drop strips for their top quality.

At Balneo, we place great importance on the visual consistency of bathrooms. The design of our drop strips therefore relates to the design of linear drains, and even other bathroom fittings – including the shower mixer. Matching colours mean the room looks harmonious. This lets buyers plan their bathroom design from A to Z using Balneo products.
FAQ
Are Balneo wall drop strips covered by a warranty?
Yes, we provide a two-year warranty on our strips, but with proper use and gentle cleaning the profiles serve households, and look excellent in the bathroom, for considerably longer.
What is the difference between a left and a right wall drop strip?
The difference lies in the direction of the slope, so when ordering the product you cannot make a mistake if you assess the side while facing the drain.
Why is installing a wall drop strip so important?
Without a wall drop strip, an attractive bathroom finish is practically impossible or very difficult. It should also be remembered that without the strip, the unprotected sharp edges of the tiles would pose a hazard to the enclosure's users.
