Description
Lauxes NXT26 Linear Floor Grate is an anti-tracking, anodised aluminium grate built for both indoor and outdoor linear drainage, with a 100mm wide by 26mm deep cross-section that suits a genuinely wide range of shower, wet-room and outdoor drainage applications. As part of the NeXT Generation range, it’s engineered to sit flush with surrounding tile and glue at roughly the same overall thickness, avoiding an awkward step or ledge at the drain line.
No bedding is required for installation, and the easy roll-out tray design means ongoing maintenance and cleaning doesn’t require lifting surrounding tile or disturbing the installation — a genuine practical advantage over grates that are harder to access once tiled in. Being UV stable and backed by both a 25-year fade warranty and a lifetime rustproof warranty gives real confidence for outdoor installations exposed to sun and weather, not just protected indoor wet areas.
Available in lengths from 0.6m to 5.6m in 5mm increments, and extendable further with Lauxes 180° extension joiners, it covers everything from a small ensuite shower to a long linear drain running the length of an outdoor entertaining area. Five anodised finishes — Silver, Midnight, Gold, Brushed Nickel and Gunmetal — let it be matched to the surrounding fixtures and fittings rather than being limited to a single generic metal tone.
Choosing between the five available finishes lets the NXT26 coordinate directly with tapware, shower screens and other bathroom or outdoor hardware rather than defaulting to a single generic silver tone, which matters increasingly as matt black, brushed nickel and gunmetal fixtures become standard specification choices in contemporary bathroom and outdoor design. Its thick-as-tile-and-glue profile also keeps the transition between grate and surrounding surface genuinely flush rather than creating a step.
