    linear drain one pro is no cutting of tiles to fit round drain. If you are starting from scratch, the floor angles can be simplified to slant to the linear drain at the edge of the shower. A round drain near the center requires slanting the floor to the drain from all sides of the shower. A linear shower drain is basically an enhanced method for drainage that offers a seamless and minimalist look to your shower, or to any shower, for that matter. To get this installed, the shower floor just needs to be sloped in one direction towards the drain as opposed to center drains which need to be sloped evenly from all 4 corners of the shower area. cons - Water containment is an issue. Unlike regular showers where there’s a curb to keep the water in, this isn’t the case with a linear shower drain as it’s just open but sloped. If the drain isn’t installed properly, you might end up having water all over and that’s not a good experience. Another major problem of a linear shower drain is that it performs unpredictably. They are too much of a hassle to clean and they clog up easily as opposed to center drains which go straight down to the main drainage system.
