FAQs
Can I tile directly onto the tray?
Yes, the tray comes with a pre-prepared cementitious coating specifically designed to accept tiles like ceramic, porcelain, stone, or mosaics.
What size waste pipe does the drain use?
The drain is compatible with a standard 40mm push-fit waste pipe.
How much can I trim the tray by?
You can trim the tray by up to 50mm from each side, ensuring equal amounts are removed from opposite sides.
Does the kit include everything needed for waterproofing?
The kit includes waterproofing paste, tape, corner sealing, silicone, a brush, and gloves for the essential wet room tanking. However, you may need additional materials for extensive wall coverage.
Is this suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes, the Sirra wet room trays are designed to be compatible with underfloor heating systems.
What is the main advantage of using a wet room kit?
It provides a pre-formed, waterproof base with a gradient, simplifying the construction of a tiled walk-in shower and reducing the risk of leaks compared to traditional methods.
Do I need to waterproof the walls as well?
Yes, successful wet rooms require sound preparation and waterproofing of both floors and walls. The included tanking kit is essential for this, but ensure all wall areas within the shower zone are properly treated.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling on the tray surface
Verify the tray is installed with the correct gradient towards the drain. Ensure the drain is not blocked.
Leaking around the drain or edges
Check that the drain connection is secure and properly sealed. Re-inspect the tanking application and sealing tape around the tray perimeter and any wall joints.
Tray won't fit the designated space
Confirm measurements and ensure trimming has been done correctly (equal amounts from opposite sides, up to 50mm per side).
Tiles are lifting or grout is crumbling
This indicates a potential failure in the waterproofing layer. The area may need to be re-tanked and re-tiled.
