A Practical Drainage Solution for High-Density Living

As apartment and high-density living becomes more common in New Zealand, bathrooms need to work within a wide range of layouts and space requirements. The challenge is selecting products that work reliably within the space available while also considering how the bathroom will be used.

Jesani develops shower and door channels to provide a long-lasting drainage solution that can work across different bathroom layouts, without requiring the bathroom design to be built around the drain.

Drainage that fits the space

Apartment bathrooms can vary considerably in size, layout and use. Jesani channels are available in a range of configurations, including Wall Mounted, Threshold, No.8, Vinyl Clamp and Appliance options. Standard channels are available in set sizes, while custom channels can also be manufactured where a project requires a specific length or configuration.

This gives architects and designers flexibility to select a drainage solution that fits the design rather than compromising the layout around the drainage.

Practical protection for modern bathrooms

As apartment layouts evolve, it is increasingly common to see laundry facilities incorporated into bathrooms. This makes the bathroom a multi-purpose space, but it also means there can be more potential sources of water in the same area.

While the primary drainage system is designed to manage everyday water, considering additional protection against accidental flooding can be particularly important in apartments, where water escaping from one bathroom can cause damage beyond a single room.

Jesani Door Channels provide an additional line of defence at the bathroom entrance. Designed to sit across the doorway, the channel can help contain water within the wet area and direct it towards drainage, providing added protection where it is needed most.

Designed for accessibility and long-term use

Jesani's flush shower channel solutions can be used in wheelchair-accessible bathroom applications, allowing the shower floor to remain level with the surrounding floor. This provides a practical approach to accessibility while maintaining a clean, simple appearance.

Jesani channels are manufactured from stainless steel and designed specifically for wet-area applications. The system incorporates a 90mm flange to provide a robust connection with the waterproofing system.

Manufactured in New Zealand and backed by a 15-year warranty, Jesani channels are designed for long-term use.

A simple product with an important job

Drainage may not be the most noticeable part of an apartment, but it is a detail that needs to work properly every day.

For architects and specifiers, considering drainage, accessibility and flood protection together can help create bathrooms that are practical and better prepared for the way apartments are being used today.

Jesani's approach is straightforward: develop practical drainage solutions that fit the building, work with the design and are built to last.
