KESSEL Drainage Systems: Reliable Solutions for Bathrooms, Basements, Outdoor Areas and Commercial Applications

Effective drainage is an essential part of any residential, commercial, industrial, or public building. A well-designed drainage system helps remove wastewater and surface water efficiently while supporting hygiene, safety, durability, and reliable building operation.

KESSEL provides a comprehensive range of drainage solutions for indoor and outdoor applications. Its product portfolio includes bathroom drains, shower channels, basement drains, outdoor and yard drains, floor drains, drainage channels, and specialised drainage systems for demanding installation environments. BSB General Trading offers a selection of KESSEL drainage solutions for projects in the UAE and wider region.

Why Choose KESSEL Drainage Solutions?

Drainage requirements can vary significantly depending on the location and type of building. A residential bathroom has different requirements from a commercial kitchen, swimming pool, parking area, basement, or industrial facility.

KESSEL develops drainage products for a wide range of applications, including:

• Bathroom and shower drainage

• Floor drainage

• Basement drainage

• Outdoor and yard drainage

• Parking-area drainage

• Roof drainage

• Surface-water drainage

• Wastewater drainage

• Commercial and industrial drainage

• Specialised backwater protection

The range includes standard products as well as customised drainage solutions for specific installation, dimension, form, and performance requirements.

KESSEL Bathroom Drains and Shower Channels

Modern bathrooms require drainage systems that combine effective water removal with attractive design and easy maintenance.

KESSEL offers several solutions for wet rooms, bathrooms, wellness facilities, and showers, including point drains, linear shower channels, and wall drainage systems.

The BSB KESSEL range includes:

• Classic Bathroom Drain

• Giro Bathroom Drain

• Linearis Compact Shower Channel

• Linearis Infinity Shower Channel

• Linearis Comfort Shower Channel

• Scada Wall Drain

• Superflat Bathroom Drain

• Ultraflat Bathroom Drain

• ME Floor Drain

These systems are designed to integrate discreetly into modern bathroom environments while providing practical drainage and maintenance access.

Classic Bathroom Drain

The Classic Bathroom Drain is designed for point drainage in wet rooms and showers with the same floor level. It features a variable upper section for easier installation, different cover options, and a removable odour trap for convenient maintenance.

Linearis Infinity Shower Channel

The Linearis Infinity is a stainless-steel shower channel designed for flexible bathroom layouts. Its AISI 316L stainless-steel insert, different length options, extendable connections, and angled installation possibilities provide considerable flexibility for individual shower designs.

It is available in different colours and lengths, while its removable insert and hair filter make cleaning and maintenance easier.

Linearis Comfort Shower Channel

The Linearis Comfort is a premium shower-channel solution designed to combine aesthetics, floor-level accessibility, and acoustic comfort. Its reversible stainless-steel insert can be adapted to different bathroom designs and floor finishes.

Scada Wall Drain

The Scada Wall Drain is installed in the wall rather than directly in the shower floor. This allows the shower floor to remain fully accessible and creates a clean, floor-level appearance.

Its compact installation depth also makes it suitable for renovation projects. Different cover designs are available, including a tileable option for discreet integration into the wall.

KESSEL Basement Drains

Basements can be vulnerable to wastewater backflow, flooding, and unwanted water accumulation. Choosing the appropriate basement drain can therefore be an important part of building protection.

The KESSEL range includes:

• Basement Drains Without a Backwater Protection System

• Pumpfix S Underfloor Basement Drain

• Drehfix Basement Drain

• Universal Basement Drain

• Universale Plus

• Basement Drain with Light Liquid Trap

Basement Drains Without Backwater Protection

These drains are intended for basement rooms located above the backwater level or areas where backwater protection is already provided through another system.

Different configurations are available with or without odour traps and sludge buckets, as well as horizontal or vertical outlets.

Drehfix Basement Drain

The Drehfix is a compact basement drain with an integrated removable backwater valve. It can help protect connected discharge points such as washbasins, showers, and washing machines against wastewater flowing back from the sewer.

Its compact design makes it particularly suitable for renovation projects and installations involving existing cast-iron drainage connections.

Pumpfix S Underfloor Basement Drain

The Pumpfix S Underfloor combines a basement drain, backwater valve, and pump in one specialised system.

Under normal conditions, wastewater can flow naturally towards the sewer. During backwater conditions, the integrated pump automatically switches on and pumps wastewater against the backwater pressure.

This makes the system particularly useful where reliable drainage is required during heavy rainfall, flooding, or backwater situations. It can also be used for draining outdoor basement stair areas.

Basement Drainage with Light Liquid Protection

Certain basement areas, such as heating rooms, may require protection against light liquids entering the sewer system.

KESSEL offers basement drains with a light liquid trap. If a light liquid such as heating oil enters the drain, the float mechanism helps prevent contaminated wastewater from being discharged into the sewer.

Depending on the configuration, the system can also include a backwater valve to protect the basement against wastewater flowing back from the sewer.

KESSEL Outdoor and Yard Drains

Outdoor areas such as driveways, yards, parking spaces, and other paved surfaces require drainage systems capable of handling surface runoff and mechanical loads.

KESSEL's outdoor drainage range includes:

• Ecoguss Parking Deck Drains

• Yard Drains

• Gutter Drains

• Roof Drains for Flat Roof Surfaces

Yard Drains

KESSEL yard drains are designed for reliable drainage of outdoor areas such as driveways, yards, and parking spaces.

They are available in polymer as well as Ecoguss, a composite material combining selected advantages of polymer and metal.

Depending on the model, the drains can accommodate high load classes and vehicle traffic. Certain configurations can handle vehicle loads of up to 12.5 tonnes, while the product information also states that the drains can meet load classes up to Class D with loads of up to 40 tonnes.

Their rotatable, tiltable, and height-adjustable upper sections provide flexibility when adapting the drain to the finished ground level.

KESSEL Floor Drains

Floor drainage is important in areas where water must be removed efficiently from the floor surface.

KESSEL offers floor drainage solutions including:

• Ecoguss

• Ferrofix

• Practicus

Ferrofix Stainless Steel Floor Drains

Ferrofix is a stainless-steel drainage system designed for demanding commercial and industrial environments.

The range includes stainless-steel floor drains, upper sections, slot drains, channel drains, and floor trays. The modular design allows different components to be combined according to project requirements.

Ferrofix is particularly suitable for applications where hygiene and corrosion resistance are important, including:

• Commercial kitchens

• Food-processing facilities

• Restaurants

• Hotels

• Swimming pools

• Industrial environments

The system uses stainless steel such as AISI 304, with AISI 316 available on request, depending on the product and requirements.

Practicus Polymer Floor Drain

The Practicus floor drain is manufactured from polypropylene and provides a robust alternative to metal drainage products.

Its smooth, rust-resistant surface helps reduce deposits and supports a self-cleaning effect. The system is available with horizontal or vertical outlets and in different nominal sizes from DN 50 to DN 100.

Practicus has also been tested for sound insulation, with the published test results indicating compliance with specified acoustic requirements. Optional fire-protection components are available for certain configurations.

Drainage Solutions for Commercial and Industrial Areas

Commercial and industrial facilities can have demanding drainage requirements. Kitchens, food-processing facilities, swimming pools, parking areas, production environments, and other commercial spaces may require drainage systems that combine durability, hygiene, safety, and ease of maintenance.

KESSEL's stainless-steel Ferrofix range, polymer Practicus systems, outdoor drainage products, and specialised basement solutions provide options for different operating environments.

Smart Planning and Custom Drainage Solutions

Not every project has the same dimensions, floor arrangement, drainage requirements, or installation conditions.

KESSEL provides a SmartSelect design tool to help planners and installers configure, calculate, and select appropriate drainage products for individual installation situations.

Custom designs and components can also be requested when a project requires specific dimensions, shapes, or performance characteristics.

How to Select the Right KESSEL Drain

The correct drainage system depends on several technical and environmental factors.

1. Application Area

Determine whether the drain is required for a bathroom, shower, basement, commercial kitchen, swimming pool, parking area, yard, roof, or industrial facility.

2. Type of Water

Consider whether the system will handle shower water, surface runoff, wastewater, rainwater, or wastewater containing specific contaminants.

3. Drainage Capacity

The expected water flow should be considered when selecting the appropriate drainage capacity.

4. Load Requirements

Outdoor and parking-area drains must be selected according to expected pedestrian or vehicle loads.

5. Backwater Protection

Basements and low-level drainage points may require protection against wastewater flowing back from the sewer.

6. Material Requirements

Stainless steel, polymer, and composite drainage materials offer different characteristics for different applications.

7. Installation Conditions

Floor height, pipe connections, available space, waterproofing requirements, and existing building conditions should all be considered before selecting a drainage system.
