How to select the right linear shower drain?

We are remodeling and building new showers, and would like to use linear, tile-insert drains in all 3. One big concern is maintenance - how often do they need to be cleaned, and which ones are easiest to remove and clean? What other selection criteria should we consider?

    Hi there - I tend to work mainly with only linear drains - all of which are tiled.
    My advice is read up on Houzzer John Whipple's various blogs on shower designs (he is a font of wisdom on this stuff)
    Whatever tile you use in your shower needs to be considered when tiling the removable part of the drain. (Big rocks don't work);
    your bathroom slope is more limited to a flatter drainage plane as your tiling slope cannot curve as easily as it would to a central drain
    Some drains come with a little key that you use to lift out the drain (but I use a flat end screw to lever up the cover with no problem) easy to pull off and to put back.
    Maintenance is dead easy once the cover is off - but as you cannot see the dirt (mainly hairballs) I advise bi-monthly inspections

    Thanks ASV - the best linear drains in my opinion are made by ACO. If you live in Canada you can order them from my blog page.
