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.

What are the dimensions of this specific model?

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

Does it require additional waterproofing?

Can I tile directly onto the tray?

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.
