What is the “MASK” Drain from Fratelli Malin
- The “MASK” drain is part of Fratelli Malin’s range of slot/slotted-channel drainage
systems — meaning instead of a traditional grate drain, it uses a narrow slots to
evacuate water. - It is constructed entirely from high-quality stainless steel (AISI 304, with 316
available on request) — ensuring excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and
suitability for water-intensive environments like pools, spas, changing rooms and
terraces. - The design supports custom fabrication: channels can be made to measure (length,
slot position, diameter of drain outlet) to fit the specific layout of your pool, spa floor or wet-area. - The drain is fitted with a removable tile-frame cover, making the drainage visually
discreet yet fully accessible for inspection and cleaning — important for hygiene and maintenance.
Why It’s Especially Good for Pools, Spas, Wet rooms & High-Traffic Water Zones
- Efficient Drainage with Minimal Visual Impact Because the slots are narrow and flush with the floor/tiling, the drain is almost invisible — a huge advantage for modern pool and spa design where aesthetics matter. It avoids bulky grates or covers that break a clean floor-tile look.
- Hygiene & Safety First Stainless steel construction resists corrosion, chlorine, and moist/wet environments — crucial where water, chemicals, steam, and constant humidity are present (pools, spas, saunas, shower zones, wet rooms). This makes the MASK drain an excellent match for commercial pools, wellness centres, and spas where longevity and low-maintenance are critical.
- Customisation — Fit-for-Purpose Drainage Layout Because every drain can be made-to-measure, your drainage can be optimised: channel length, slot positioning, outlet location — everything tailored. This ensures water is evacuated quickly and safely from the right spots (pool edges, shower floors, wet corridors, terraces).
- Easy Maintenance & Inspection Thanks to removable tile-frame covers, the drain can be inspected, cleaned or maintained without disrupting the floor or tiling. For a commercial spa or public pool environment, being able to properly maintain drains helps ensure hygiene and avoid buildup of grime, algae, or blockages.
- Versatile Applications The MASK drain isn’t just for pools — it works perfectly for terraces, wet area walkways, changing rooms, shower floors, spa zones, and any surface required to drain water reliably while retaining a seamless aesthetic.
