TECEdrainway shower channel
The most beautiful way for water
iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 Gold
A strong statement for innovative design and intelligent engineering: TECEdrainway has been awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 Gold – one of the world's most renowned design awards.
The perfect installation situation
A particularly elegant installation solution in the shower area is the subtle integration of the shower channel in the transition between the wall and floor tiles.
The result: a stylish look that blends unobtrusively and seamlessly into the ambience – present without being dominant.
Colour harmony and surface finish
The design is available in four colour variants: brushed black, brushed bronze, brushed brass and brushed stainless steel.
The PVD surface finish provides effective protection against scratches and ensures a long-lasting, elegant look. This advanced process combines outstanding colour quality and brilliance that remains durable even under intensive user stress. Elegance that lasts and protection that impresses.
The ideal shower channel
Whether harmonious tone-on-tone combinations or highcontrast colour accents – the possibilities are diverse and flexibly follow individual design preferences.
Clean in no time
Smooth surfaces without corners and edges for optimum water drainage. Pleasing to the eye and ideal for cleaning. Maximum hygiene and cleanliness is that simple.
Featuring self-cleaning effect
The integrated 3D gradient of the TECEdrainway channel profile optimises the water flow in such a way that a practical self-cleaning effect is created and possible structural tolerances are compensated for. Hair is flushed directly into the wastewater pipe without getting caught on corners or edges.
With the simplest of tools
Rinse, wipe, done: A basic cloth is all you need to clean the shower profile made of easy-care stainless steel.

How to clean the TECEdrainway if needed
The vortex impulse geometry and bionic structures significantly reduce deposits during the drainage of shower water.
But even in unlikely situations, you are always well equipped with TECE: According to DIN EN 1253-1, 4.2.1 drains should offer the possibility of mechanical cleaning of the waste water pipes. Everything mentioned in the regulations is possible with TECE. With a 6 mm cleaning spiral or a flexible 6 mm high-pressure hose – both also in the TECE range – any deposits can be easily removed.
Vortex impulse for high drainage capacity
A specially developed vortex impulse geometry optimises the drainage capacity of the water. A slightly twisted cross-section at the rear of the drain creates a vortex-shaped water movement that noticeably accelerates and intensifies the drainage.
Nature shows us how it’s done: Bionic structures
Bionic structures in the drain, inspired by nature, create microturbulence. They reduce deposits and increase the flow rate – for more efficient drainage of the shower water.
From the idea to the finished product
The new TECEdrainway shower channel has been on the market since late 2025. From the initial idea to installation on the construction site, the shower channel has passed through several milestones: From that idea a prototype has been born. It was then put through thorough testing and optimised. This led to the pilot series, which underwent extensive field testing and norm testing in the laboratory. Only after this did full-scale production begin.
»Testing is essential to our product development process. Here, a fixed number of samples are tested from selected customers under real-life conditions. One of the last major milestones in quality management before full-scale production.«
Qualified testing
Qualified testing marks a key stage in product development. Here, future users test the product independently and under real conditions. This process reveals whether instructions, components and installation steps are clear and user-friendly, and whether the product performs as expected on the construction site. This impartial practical check highlights any remaining weaknesses and ensures that the product is reliable and user-friendly before it is launched on the market.

Extensive laboratory testing
The DIN EN 1253 specifies requirements and corresponding test procedures for drains in buildings. Throughout product development and production monitoring, TECE tests samples according to these procedures – both in its own labs and with external agencies. One vital test for shower channels is assessing their self-cleaning ability. Other essential tests include drainage capacity and sound insulation.
TECEdrainway – optimised for installation flush with the wall
Simply flush with the wall
The innovative TECEdrainway shower channel features well thought-out product details that enable quick and easy assembly – ideal for precise installation, flush with the wall.

Flexible installation
TECEdrainway was specially developed for the transition between wall and floor and offers a large tolerance range during installation. Generous adjustment options allow for simple and precise installation. Thanks to the intelligent positioning of the drain profile – 1 to 2 mm behind the upper edge of the wall and floor tiles – the transition between the tiles and the drain profile appears subtle and unobtrusive.

Simply cut to size
The stainless steel profile is available in lengths of 110 cm and 160 cm and can be cut to recessed lengths.

Drainage in every direction
Regardless of where the connection point of the waste water pipe continues – the TECEdrainway drain can be turned on the wall in any direction. This allows the drain and waste water pipe to be connected without a puzzle of moulded parts. Saving not only time, but also additional connection points in the screed.

Extra soft
The TECEdrainway sealing collar can be processed particularly smoothly and prevents creases or folds in the composite seal. The ideal assistant for professionals who prioritise easy handling and perfect results!

Nothing gets in the way
When finally levelling the sloping screed, you don’t want to have to use the levelling bar to touch any interfering covers or fixtures. With TECEdrainway, you simply pull it over the drain in one sweep and you’re done! The supplied sealing collar is safely stored under the construction time protection.
