Everyone notices the tiles, fittings and finishes in a walk-in shower.

Almost nobody notices the drainage.

Yet it's often the drainage design that determines whether a walk-in shower can be achieved in the first place.

In home renovations, commercial amenities and concrete slab installations, creating the required fall isn't always straightforward.

The best bathroom designs are the ones where the technical challenges disappear into the background.

Walk-in showers don't always need conventional gravity drainage.

The Sanifloor+ uses suction and pumping technology to remove wastewater from showers where traditional drainage layouts aren't achievable.

This makes it ideal for:

Basement bathrooms

Concrete slab installations

Renovation projects

Walk-in shower designs

Because sometimes the design isn't the challenge—the drainage is.

Creating end-of-trip facilities in existing commercial buildings often comes with one major challenge: plumbing.

In the Monash Conference Centre project, showers needed to be installed at basement level on a concrete slab—where conventional drainage wasn’t possible.

Using Sanifloor, the team was able to create modern shower facilities without cutting the concrete slab or raising the shower tray.

A practical solution that helped transform underutilised space into a valuable tenant amenity.

Where is the Sanicubic 1 typically specified?

In projects where wastewater needs to be managed from multiple fixtures in locations that fall outside conventional gravity drainage design.

This commonly includes:

- Basement bathrooms and amenities
- Secondary dwellings (granny flats, studios)
- Home extensions away from mains connection
- Retrofit projects with fixed structural constraints

Instead of relying on gravity drainage, wastewater from the toilet, basin and shower is collected and pumped to the main sewer line—making installations like this possible in spaces that would otherwise be ruled out.

Instead of dictating layout, it supports it—allowing design decisions to stay focused on space, not pipe fall.

That’s why it’s often selected in both residential and light commercial applications where flexibility is critical.

A common misconception in residential design:

“If it’s below the sewer line, it can’t be done.”

In reality, this is a drainage method issue - not a design limitation.

With the right wastewater system, below-sewer installations, remote extensions, and detached structures can all be accommodated without changing the architectural intent.

The limitation is not the space - it’s the approach to wastewater management.

The Sanicubic 1 is designed for one key challenge:

Managing wastewater from multiple fixtures in locations where gravity drainage isn’t possible.

This typically includes:

- Basement bathrooms
- Granny flats / studios
- Extensions away from mains connection
- Complex retrofit projects

Instead of dictating layout, it adapts to it—allowing designers to maintain spatial intent without being restricted by drainage fall.

3 challenges we hear when people want to add a bathroom where gravity drainage won’t work:

1. Below sewer level installations
2. Converting detached structures
3. Extending beyond mains connection

Projects like this boathouse conversion show how constraints don’t have to limit outcomes—just change the approach.

When wastewater can be pumped, layout flexibility increases significantly.

What actually changes when you use a lifting station like the Sanicubic 1?

It’s not just about moving wastewater.

It’s about removing the dependency on gravity from the design process.

That shift allows:

- Fixtures below sewer level
- Greater separation between wet areas and mains connection
- More freedom in spatial layout
- Fewer compromises in retrofit and extension projects

In practice, it turns drainage from a fixed constraint into an adaptable system component.

That’s what makes it relevant in complex residential and light commercial design—not just installation flexibility, but design flexibility.
