So far, it is necessary to create a floor-level shower, that a shower plate or a shower board is equipped with a multi-sided slope to drain. The same applies to training with graded screed. In a drain in the middle of the shower area, a so-called central drain, four gradient areas are usually formed. In a close-to-the-wall process, either three or four gradient areas are worked out. For three slope areas, the first area is on the opposite side of the wall. The other two areas are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the channel-shaped drain body to the left and right of this. Occasionally, there is a short, fourth gradient between the gutter body and the wall.

It proves to be problematic here that the formation of several sloping areas in the screed or in a shower panel causes a high manual or mechanical effort. In addition, the adaptation of the tile mirror to the different gradient situations is demanding.

A device of the type mentioned is from the DE 10 2014 111 784 A1 known. The device described therein has in particular a one-piece part made of stainless steel, on whose Surface a multi-slope contour is formed. The production of such a device is relatively expensive. Furthermore, no subsequent adaptation to local conditions or design requirements can take place.
