Product Information

Full details

The Aquarius Honiston Slate Effect Shower Tray is designed for homeowners seeking a luxurious, stylish, and durable shower base that is also eco-conscious. Its key benefit lies in its blend of high-end aesthetics, ease of installation, and safety features like its anti-slip surface. A potential consideration is its specific size (1900 x 800mm), which may require precise fitting in some bathroom layouts. Key features include a realistic slate effect finish, exceptional ease of installation, cut-to-shape adaptability for custom spaces, a warm-to-the-touch surface, and anti-slip properties. Manufactured with silica-free materials and powered by 100% renewable energy, it emphasizes environmental responsibility.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the slate effect just a coating, or is it integral to the material?

The slate effect is integral to the mineral composite material, providing a durable and long-lasting finish.

Can this shower tray be installed directly onto a concrete floor?

Yes, provided the concrete floor is perfectly level, clean, and dry. Additional support might be recommended depending on the specific floor structure and adhesive used.

What kind of waste trap is compatible?

The Aquarius Honiston shower tray is compatible with standard shower waste traps. Ensure the chosen waste trap fits the tray's waste outlet diameter.

How easy is it to clean the anti-slip surface?

The anti-slip surface is designed for easy cleaning with regular household cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials that could degrade the texture.

What is the main advantage of silica-free materials?

Silica-free materials mean that during cutting or if the tray is damaged, harmful silica dust is not released into the air, making installation and general use safer for health.

Can the tray be installed in a wet room setup?

While highly adaptable, it's crucial to ensure proper waterproofing and drainage systems are in place when integrating any shower tray into a wet room design.

What are the environmental benefits of this product?

The trays are manufactured using 100% renewable energy and feature an optimized waste program to significantly reduce the carbon footprint, along with being made from silica-free materials.

Troubleshooting

Tray appears uneven or slopes incorrectly

Re-check the subfloor for levelness and ensure adequate support. Adjust adhesive or support if necessary before sealant fully cures.

Water pooling on the surface

Verify the waste trap is clear and functioning correctly. Ensure the tray itself is installed perfectly level towards the waste outlet.

Damage to the surface during cutting

Use sharp, appropriate cutting tools for composite materials. Practice cuts on a scrap piece first if unsure. Repair minor chips with a compatible filler and sealant.

Sealant is not adhering properly

Ensure the tray and surrounding surfaces are completely clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before applying sealant. Use a high-quality silicone sealant.
