FAQs

Can I install this tray on a suspended wooden floor?

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use a high-quality, flexible tile adhesive specifically designed for wet room installations and suitable for XPS boards.

How much can I trim the tray by?

You can trim up to 50mm from each side of the tray using standard cutting tools to achieve a custom fit.

Is the gold grate included with the shower tray?

Yes, this specific model features a modern gold grate design as part of the integrated drainage system.

What are the dimensions of this specific model?

This model is 800mm x 800mm with a height of 25mm.

Does it require additional waterproofing?

The tray itself is 100% waterproof. However, standard wet room practices regarding wall and joint sealing should still be followed.

Can I tile directly onto the tray?

Yes, the cement-coated surface is specifically designed for direct tiling.

Troubleshooting

Tray does not sit level

Ensure the sub-floor is perfectly flat and free from debris. Adjust adhesive application if necessary.

Water pooling on the tray surface

Verify the tray's 2% gradient is maintained and not obstructed. Check that the linear drain is correctly installed and functioning.

Adhesive not bonding properly

Ensure both the sub-floor and the underside of the tray are clean, dry, and free from dust. Use a high-quality, flexible tile adhesive recommended for wet room applications.

Difficulty cutting the tray

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw. Ensure you are not attempting to cut more than the recommended 50mm from each side.
