FAQs

Is the waste fitting included with the shower tray?

No, the waste fitting is not included with the Thermopanel SMC shower tray and must be purchased separately.

What material is the shower tray made from?

The shower tray is manufactured from Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC), a composite material consisting of resin, fibreglass, and stone powder.

Is the surface slippery when wet?

No, the tray features a slate-textured surface designed to provide secure, anti-slip footing.

Can this tray be installed directly onto floor joists?

Installation directly onto joists is possible, provided the joists are adequately supported and building regulations are met. A solid, level subfloor is generally recommended.

How do I clean the dark grey surface?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse well and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What are the dimensions of this specific model?

This guide specifically refers to the Thermopanel SMC Dark Grey Shower Tray in dimensions of 1700 x 900mm, though other sizes may be available.

Is the drain cover removable for cleaning?

Yes, the integrated SMC hole-style drain cover is designed to be removable for easy cleaning and access to the waste trap.

Troubleshooting

Tray is not level

Adjust the supporting structure or use levelling shims before final securing. Ensure the subfloor is perfectly flat.

Water pooling on the surface

Check that the waste fitting is correctly installed and not blocked. Verify the tray itself is installed with the correct fall towards the waste.

Scratches or surface marks

For minor scratches, try a non-abrasive cleaner or a specialised SMC repair kit. Avoid using abrasive materials during cleaning.

Drainage is slow

Inspect the purchased waste fitting for blockages. Clean any debris from the trap and waste pipe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and resistant to damage.
  • Provides excellent anti-slip properties for enhanced safety.
  • Modern and aesthetically pleasing slate-effect finish.
  • Scratch-resistant surface maintains appearance.
  • Integrated drain cover for a clean look.

Cons

  • Waste fitting is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Requires careful installation to ensure proper sealing.
  • SMC material can be heavier than acrylic alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires a level subfloor and adherence to standard plumbing practices. The tray is designed to be installed directly onto a solid floor or joists, depending on local building regulations and structural integrity. Ensure all connections are watertight. Note: A compatible shower waste fitting must be purchased separately and installed according to its manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: This shower tray is suitable for use with most standard shower enclosures and shower valves. It is designed for installation in wet rooms or as part of a traditional shower cubicle.

Care: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface finish. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a diluted bleach solution can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough rinse.
