FAQs

Can the Aquarius Honiston shower tray be installed on a wooden floor?

Yes, it can be installed on a wooden floor. Ensure the floor is stable, level, and adequately supported according to the installation guide. Additional bracing may be required.

How do I cut the shower tray to size?

The tray can be cut using a fine-toothed jigsaw or circular saw blade suitable for composite materials. Measure carefully and mark your cut line before proceeding. Always wear appropriate safety gear.

Is the anti-slip surface durable?

Yes, the integrated anti-slip surface is designed to be durable for everyday use. Regular cleaning will help maintain its effectiveness and appearance.

What kind of waste trap should I use?

It is compatible with most standard shower waste traps. Ensure the trap is suitable for the tray's depth and adheres to local plumbing regulations.

How does the silica-free material benefit me?

Silica-free materials are considered safer as they do not release fine silica dust when cut or worked with, which can be harmful if inhaled.

Is the slate effect realistic?

The tray features a textured slate effect finish designed to mimic the natural appearance of slate, adding a modern and luxurious aesthetic to your bathroom.

What is the environmental benefit of this tray?

The manufacturing process uses 100% renewable energy and employs an optimal waste program, significantly reducing the carbon footprint associated with its production.

Troubleshooting

Tray appears uneven or is not level

Check the subfloor and support structure. Ensure the tray is adequately supported and leveled using appropriate shims or adjustable legs if applicable, following installation instructions.

Water pooling around the edges

Verify the waste trap is correctly installed and not blocked. Ensure the tray slopes correctly towards the waste outlet and that the surrounding sealant is intact.

Cutting the tray results in a rough edge

Use a fine-toothed blade designed for composite materials and cut slowly and steadily. Sand lightly with fine-grit sandpaper for a smoother finish if necessary.

Surface appears dull or has light scratches

Clean the tray thoroughly with a mild detergent. For very light scratches, try a specialized composite surface cleaner or polish designed for non-abrasive use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation typically involves preparing the subfloor, fitting the tray according to manufacturer guidelines (often involving adhesive or support legs), and connecting the waste outlet. Due to the tray's cuttable nature, precise measurements are crucial before any cutting takes place. Ensure you have appropriate tools for cutting composite materials.

Compatibility:

This shower tray is designed to be compatible with most standard shower enclosures and waste outlet systems. It can be installed directly onto a solid floor or joists, provided adequate support is given.

Care:

To maintain the luxurious slate effect finish and ensure longevity:

  1. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
  2. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that can scratch or damage the surface.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.
  4. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner can be used sparingly.
