Product Information

Full details

The Hydrolux Modern Rectangle Shower Tray is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers seeking a lightweight, versatile, and durable showering solution. Its key benefit is the ease of installation, especially for one person, due to its significantly lighter construction compared to traditional trays. A potential caveat is the need for precise cutting if customisation is required, demanding careful measurement. This easy plumb tray features an acrylic capped ABS finish, a cut-to-fit design, universal compatibility with shower screens, and a high-flow waste, all backed by a 10-year guarantee.

FAQs

Can I install this shower tray on a wooden floor?

Yes, the easy plumb design and included riser kit allow for installation on various floor types, including suspended wooden floors. Ensure adequate support and sealing.

What is the actual size of the waste outlet?

The waste outlet on the tray itself is 90mm, but it connects to a standard 40mm waste pipe.

How much water can the waste system handle?

The high-flow waste system is designed to handle an efficient drainage rate of 32 litres per minute.

Is the riser kit always necessary?

The riser kit is included and recommended for most installations, especially on concrete floors or when a higher installation profile is desired. It allows for easy access to the waste plumbing.

Can I cut the tray to a very specific size?

The 'cut-to-fit' design allows for trimming to accommodate specific spaces. However, always measure precisely and use appropriate cutting tools for acrylic capped ABS to avoid damaging the finish.

What warranty is provided with the shower tray?

The Hydrolux Modern Rectangle Shower Tray is backed by a 10-year guarantee.

What materials is the tray made from?

The tray is constructed from acrylic capped ABS in white, reinforced with mineral torsion beams for rigidity.

Troubleshooting

Tray is not level

Adjust the feet on the riser kit (if used) or use shims to achieve a perfectly level surface. Ensure the subfloor is adequately prepared.

Water pooling or slow drainage

Check the high-flow waste for any blockages. Ensure the waste pipe is clear and has a proper fall towards the drain.

Tray flexes underfoot

Verify that all support feet and brackets from the riser kit (if used) are securely attached and making firm contact. Ensure the subfloor provides adequate support.

Difficulty connecting waste pipe

Confirm that you are using a standard 40mm waste fitting. If your plumbing differs, you may need an appropriate adapter.

Scratch marks on the surface

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a plastic polish specifically designed for acrylic. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods in the future.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the subfloor is level and clean. If using the riser kit, assemble the feet and panels according to the provided instructions, ensuring all brackets and fixings are secure.
  2. Positioning: Place the tray in its final position. If using the riser kit, adjust the feet to achieve a level surface.
  3. Waste Connection: Connect the high-flow waste to the tray and then to your existing plumbing. Ensure a secure, watertight seal.
  4. Levelling: Use a spirit level to ensure the tray is perfectly level in all directions. Make any necessary adjustments to the feet.
  5. Adhesive/Fixing: Secure the tray to the floor using appropriate compound adhesive or floor fixing brackets, especially if using the riser kit.

Compatibility:

  • This tray is universally compatible with all brands of glass shower screen enclosures.
  • The waste has a standard 40mm connection, suitable for most modern waste pipes.

Care:

  • Clean the tray regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the acrylic surface.
  • Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots and limescale buildup.
