Abstract

A flat surface for sinks and shower pans with drainage through channels, which, as a single component, has a flat upper surface (1) in which interconnected radial and peripheral channels (2) are made, which guide the water to a drain (3) arranged in the lower part thereof, and partial grooves (4) run between the channels (2), said grooves having a recess to prevent the water from spilling over, and this upper flat surface (1) is arranged over a concave water collection tray (5) which leads into the drain (3).

Claims

1. A block with an upper flat surface for sinks and shower pans with drainage comprising a plurality of radial channels interconnected with peripheral channels located throughout a periphery of the upper flat surface, wherein the peripheral and the radial channels intersecting partial grooves both at a peripheral part of the upper flat surface and at vertices of the radial channels and peripheral channels in the upper flat surface characterized in that the partial grooves do not pass through the entire block, the radial channels having a thickness between 0.2 and 1 cm, characterized in that at least a portion of one of the radial and peripheral channels pass through the block to an area where a drain is situated below the block in order to drain water.

2. The block in accordance with claim 1, wherein the block is arranged on a concave water collection tray which empties into the drain, and the peripheral channels are discontinuous, and are interconnected with at least one channel that includes a partial groove that does not pass through the entire block.

3. The block in accordance with claim 1, wherein the peripheral channels interconnect with the radial channels at a depth of the radial channels nearest to the upper flat surface and wherein the radial channels have a greater depth the closer they are to the drain in order to facilitate water drainage.
