California Faucets has a solution for disguising one of the least attractive parts of a shower: the drain.
The company’s StyleDrain Tile is designed to accept an inlay of tile or stone that matches the shower floor, making the drain less noticeable.
The product has a square inner frame that holds the tile or stone. Water flows through a gap between that inner frame and a larger outer frame.
The frames are made of brass and are available in five decorative finishes. Prices range from $397 to $589, depending on the finish.
Find dealers in the “Where to buy” section of www.calfaucets.com — there are several in Palm Beach County.
