The grate assembly is in two pieces; the grate and the adjustable frame. That's what I like about Schluter's linear drain. The frame is set in mortar. You can install it before, during or after...

What I like best about the KerdiLine drain is the frame for the grate. You set it with mortar while you are setting the tile, enabling adjustment and you can make your own weepholes.

Hi Lynn,

I love those classic floors! You can restore it to like-new condition with a little bit of work. Yes, that is unglazed porcelain. I bet the grout is as almost as hard as the tile. ...
