FAQs
Does this tray come with a waste kit?
No, the waste kit is sold separately. You will need a standard 90mm high-flow shower waste.
Can this tray be installed directly on a wooden floor?
Yes, but ensure the floor is reinforced, flat, and rigid to support the weight of the stone resin.
How heavy is the tray?
Due to the stone resin construction, it is quite heavy and requires two people to maneuver into place safely.
Is the surface anti-slip?
The tray features a standard smooth gloss white finish. Use of an additional anti-slip mat is recommended if improved traction is required.
What is the purpose of the upstands?
The upstands are raised edges that sit behind your wall tiles, creating a physical barrier that prevents water from leaking behind the tray.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling in corners
Verify the tray is perfectly level using a spirit level; even a slight tilt away from the waste will prevent proper drainage.
Difficulty creating a watertight seal
Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry before applying professional-grade silicone sealant along the integrated upstands.
Tray feels uneven after installation
Check for debris under the tray before final fixing and ensure the floor substrate is solid and flat.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent durability due to stone resin material
- Integrated upstands simplify the sealing process
- Low 60mm profile offers a modern, accessible look
- Solid feel underfoot prevents the flexing common in cheaper trays
Cons
- Heavy construction requires two-person handling
- Requires precise floor leveling during installation
- White finish may show hair or debris more clearly than textured surfaces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure the sub-floor is perfectly level, as the rigid nature of stone resin does not allow for minor adjustments once placed. The tray is compatible with standard 90mm shower wastes (not included). To maintain the finish, clean regularly with a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth; avoid harsh acidic chemicals that may dull the surface over time. Always check that your enclosure model specifically accommodates the 1000x800 dimensions and the integrated upstand profile.
