FAQs
What material is the shower base tray made of?
The shower base tray is made of SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound), which is a composite material consisting of resin, fiberglass, and stone powder.
What are the overall dimensions of the shower tray?
The shower tray measures 80 cm in width, 80 cm in depth, and 2.6 cm in thickness (80 x 80 x 2.6 cm).
What size is the drain opening?
The shower tray has a standard diameter drain opening of 9 cm.
Is the surface slippery when wet?
No, the tray features a skid-resistant surface design for enhanced safety.
Can I use standard household cleaners on this tray?
It is recommended to use mild soap and a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.
Is this shower tray suitable for wet room installations?
This shower tray is designed as a base for a shower enclosure. For wet room installations, specific tanking and drainage systems are typically required.
What is the floor drain size mentioned in the description?
The floor drain size of 20 x 12.5 cm (W x D) refers to the integrated drainage channel or waste cover area on the tray, not the plumbing connection size.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling on the tray surface
Check if the drain is clear of debris. Ensure the shower tray is installed with a slight slope towards the drain opening.
Scratches or minor surface damage
For light scratches, a non-abrasive cleaning paste may help. For deeper damage, consult a professional for repair options specific to SMC materials.
Difficulty connecting the drain
Verify that you are using a drain fitting with a 9 cm diameter outlet. Ensure proper sealants are used according to the drain fitting manufacturer's instructions.
Tray feels unstable
The subfloor may not be adequately prepared or reinforced. Ensure the tray is fully supported and properly bedded. Professional assessment may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The shower base tray should be installed on a level and solid subfloor. Ensure all plumbing connections for the drain are made before final placement. Proper sealing around the edges where the tray meets the wall is crucial to prevent water leaks. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results.
Compatibility: This tray features a standard 9 cm diameter drain opening. It is compatible with most standard shower waste fittings designed for this size. The tray dimensions are 80 x 80 x 2.6 cm (W x D x T). Ensure your shower enclosure walls and existing plumbing align with these dimensions.
Care: To maintain the tray's finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the SMC surface. Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
