Troubleshooting
Water pooling on the tray surface
Verify that the tray's gradient is correctly oriented towards the drain and that the drainpipe is not obstructed. Ensure the tanking membrane has not compromised the fall.
Difficulty trimming the tray
Use appropriate cutting tools for composite materials, such as a fine-toothed saw or jigsaw. Ensure cuts are straight and only trim the maximum allowed amount (50mm per side, equally).
Waterproofing paste not covering the area
The tanking kit is designed for approximately 6.5m². If your area is larger, you will need additional waterproofing materials. Ensure even application to avoid weak spots.
Drain is slow or blocked
Remove the grate and check for any debris. Clean the trap if accessible and ensure the waste pipe is clear of obstructions.
