FAQs

Can this shower tray be installed on a wooden floor?

Yes, provided the wooden floor is structurally sound, adequately supported, and level. It's crucial to ensure there is no flex in the floorboards. You may need to add extra bracing or a cement board overlay for optimal support.

What type of waste trap is compatible?

The Aquarius Honiston shower tray is compatible with most standard shower waste traps. It is recommended to use a trap specifically designed for shower trays and to confirm the diameter required for your chosen model.

How do I clean the anti-slip surface?

The anti-slip surface can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the anti-slip properties over time.

Is the slate effect durable?

Yes, the slate effect is integral to the tray's material and is designed for durability under normal showering conditions. Regular cleaning will help maintain its appearance.

What are the benefits of silica-free materials?

Silica-free materials contribute to better indoor air quality as they do not release harmful silica dust during manufacturing, installation, or use, which can be a respiratory irritant.

Can the tray be cut to fit a specific corner size?

Yes, the tray is designed to be cut to shape, making it ideal for custom installations, including corner sizes or fitting around existing bathroom features.

How does the 'warm to the touch' feature work?

The material composition of the tray inherently provides a warmer feel underfoot compared to traditional acrylic or ceramic materials, enhancing comfort.

Troubleshooting

Tray is not level

Ensure the subfloor is properly prepared and leveled before installation. Use adjustable feet if your installation method allows, or packing material to achieve a level base.

Water pooling on the surface

Check that the waste trap is correctly installed and not blocked. Ensure the tray itself is installed with a slight fall towards the waste outlet.

Difficulty cutting the tray to shape

Use a fine-toothed saw or a jigsaw with a blade suitable for composite materials. Ensure you have accurate measurements and consider using a template for complex cuts. Professional installation is recommended for intricate shapes.

Sealant failure or leaks

Remove old sealant, clean the area thoroughly, and reapply a high-quality bathroom silicone sealant. Ensure the tray is properly supported and not flexing.

  • Manufactured with a focus on environmental sustainability.
  • Materials are silica-free, contributing to better air quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Aquarius Honiston Shower Tray is designed for easy installation. Ensure the subfloor is level and prepared according to standard plumbing practices. The tray can be cut to size using appropriate cutting tools for composite materials; measure carefully before cutting. Apply a suitable sealant around the edges and waste outlet to ensure a watertight fit. Compatibility with standard shower waste traps is expected, but always verify dimensions before purchasing a trap.

Compatibility: This tray is compatible with most standard shower enclosures and plumbing systems. Its cut-to-shape feature makes it exceptionally versatile for various bathroom layouts.

Care: Clean the tray regularly with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the surface finish. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner can be used. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to maintain its appearance.
