Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this tray be installed directly onto joists without a solid subfloor?
While the easy plumb kit provides support, it is designed for hard surfaces like concrete. For timber joists, you must first install a solid, level plywood or cement board subfloor at least 18mm thick before fitting the tray.
What is the warranty period for the Hydrolux Affine Shower Tray?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for the most up-to-date warranty information specific to this model.
Is the surface anti-slip?
No, the Hydrolux Affine Shower Tray does not feature an integrated anti-slip surface. It is recommended to use an anti-slip mat for added safety.
What are the dimensions of the included riser kit panels?
The riser kit typically includes panels and brackets designed to bring the tray to its 140mm height. Specific panel dimensions are detailed in the installation manual provided with the kit.
How do I clean the acrylic capped ABS surface?
Clean the surface with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads.
Can the waste position be altered?
The waste is pre-fitted in the centre position. Significant alteration of the waste position is not recommended as it may affect drainage performance and tray integrity.
What tools are needed for installation?
Basic tools such as a tape measure, spirit level, drill, screwdriver, silicone sealant, and potentially a fine-toothed saw or jigsaw for trimming are typically required.
Troubleshooting
Tray is unstable or wobbles
Ensure all riser kit components are securely fastened. Verify the subfloor is level and that the tray is properly fixed to it. Check that all support feet are making firm contact.
Water is not draining effectively
Check the Hi-Flow Waste for any blockages (hair, soap scum). Ensure the waste trap is correctly installed and the waste pipe has adequate fall.
Difficulty connecting shower enclosure
Confirm the enclosure is designed for a standard rectangular tray. Ensure the tray edges are clean and straight where the enclosure legs will sit.
Cutting the tray is difficult
Use a fine-toothed saw or jigsaw suitable for acrylic or ABS. Make slow, controlled cuts and ensure you are following safety guidelines for power tools. Smooth any rough edges with fine-grit sandpaper.
