Generally, trays made from such composite materials are compatible with underfloor heating systems. However, always consult the specific guidelines from your underfloor heating manufacturer for confirmation and installation best practices.
Troubleshooting
Tray is not level
Ensure the subfloor is properly prepared. Use a spirit level and adjust the tray with leveling compound or shims until perfectly level before fixing.
Water pooling around the waste outlet
Check that the 90mm waste trap is correctly installed and sealed. Ensure there are no blockages in the waste pipe. Verify the tray itself is still level.
Surface appears scratched or dull
Clean with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For minor scuffs, a specialized acrylic cleaner might be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Difficulty fitting the shower enclosure to the tray
Ensure the tray is perfectly square and level. Check the enclosure's specifications for compatibility with tray dimensions and profiles. Adjust enclosure fixings as per enclosure manufacturer instructions.
