Schluter® KERDI-DRAIN GRATE KIT CLASSIC ROUND 6" STN STEEL
The round 6" Classic grate for KERDI-DRAIN — a larger drain opening in brushed stainless steel with a softer, circular profile. The 6" size gives you a noticeably bigger drain area than the standard 4" grate, which matters in high-volume shower applications like rain heads or multi-body spray systems.
Round drain grates have a different visual language than square — they soften the geometry of the shower floor and integrate naturally with mosaic tile patterns, pebble floors, and curved design elements. If your shower has organic forms or smaller tile formats, round often reads better than square.
Technical specs
- Frame size: 6" (150mm) round
- Material: Brushed stainless steel — corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance
- Compatible with: All standard KERDI-DRAIN bodies (2" and 3" outlets)
- Reveal: ~3/16" above finished tile surface
- Adjustment: Height and tilt adjustment only (no lateral adjustment on 6" frames)
- Tile thickness range: Accommodates standard tile thicknesses
Round vs. square 6" grate — which to choose
- Round: Softer look, works with mosaic/pebble tile, curved shower forms, transitional and organic design styles
- Square: Stronger geometric statement, better alignment with large-format or grid-laid tile, modern/contemporary interiors
6" vs. 4" grate — why go bigger?
The 4" grate is the standard for most residential showers. Upgrade to 6" when you have high water volume (rain heads, multiple body sprays, or large-format showerheads), large shower footprints where a 4" grate would look out of proportion, or a design concept where the drain is a featured element rather than something to hide.
Pro tips
- 6" grates don't have lateral adjustment — only height and tilt. Position your KERDI-DRAIN body carefully during rough-in to get the grate centered exactly where you want it
- Grate replaces separately — if the grate ever gets damaged or you want to update the look, you can swap grates without disturbing the drain body or waterproofing
- Match your drain finish to other fixtures — brushed stainless pairs with brushed nickel hardware; if your fixtures are matte black or oil-rubbed bronze, look at the KERDI-DRAIN Trendline color-coated options
Grate kit only — drain body (with bonding flange and outlet connection) sold separately. Pairs with all KERDI-DRAIN bodies for a complete waterproof drain assembly.
