Product Information

Full details

The INSL8 Linear Wet Room Shower Tray is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers looking to create a modern, tiled wet room. Its key benefit is providing a 100% waterproof, pre-sloped substrate that is easy to install and customize. A potential caveat is the limitation on how much the tray can be trimmed.

FAQs

Can I tile directly onto the INSL8 shower tray?

Yes, the INSL8 Linear Wet Room Shower Tray is designed with a cement coating specifically for direct tiling.

What is the maximum amount I can trim from the tray?

You can trim up to 50mm from each side of the tray. Ensure you trim equal amounts from opposite sides if adjusting dimensions.

What type of sub-floor is required?

The tray is compatible with solid concrete and reinforced wooden sub-floors.

Does the tray come with a drain?

The INSL8 Linear Wet Room Shower Tray includes a black grate for the drain, but you will need to supply the appropriate waste trap and plumbing fittings.

How is the drainage slope achieved?

The tray is manufactured with a pre-formed natural 2% fall towards the drain outlet to ensure efficient water flow.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic tools such as a saw for trimming, a trowel for adhesive, and standard tiling tools are required. No specialist equipment is needed for the tray itself.

Is the tray suitable for underfloor heating?

While the tray itself is not a heating element, it can be installed over a compatible underfloor heating system embedded within the sub-floor, provided all manufacturer guidelines for both systems are followed.

Troubleshooting

Tray does not sit level

Ensure the sub-floor is perfectly flat and free from debris. Adjust adhesive thickness or re-prepare the sub-floor if necessary.

Water pooling on the surface

Verify that the 2% fall has been maintained during installation and that the drain is not obstructed. Check that the tray is correctly positioned relative to the waste pipe.

Difficulty trimming the tray

Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife for clean cuts. Ensure the tray is securely supported during cutting.

Adhesive not bonding properly

Ensure both the sub-floor and the underside of the tray are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a suitable flexible tile adhesive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy to cut and shape on-site with basic tools.
100% waterproof construction prevents leaks.
Integrated slope ensures effective drainage.
Lightweight design makes it manageable for one person.
Suitable for both concrete and wooden subfloors.
Provides a solid, tileable surface directly.

Cons

Limited trimming; cannot be cut more than 50mm from any single side.
Requires flexible tile adhesive for installation.
Drainage grate style is fixed (e.g., staggered slots, diagonal slots) and may not suit all aesthetic preferences.
The XPS core, while durable, may require careful handling during aggressive cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Ensure the sub-floor is clean, level, and structurally sound. It must be suitable for direct adhesive application.
Position the INSL8 shower tray on the prepared sub-floor.
If necessary, trim the tray using a standard saw or blade. Remember the limitation of cutting no more than 50mm from each side, ensuring equal amounts are removed from opposite sides if adjusting dimensions.
Apply a generous amount of flexible tile adhesive to the sub-floor and the underside of the tray.
Press the tray firmly into place, ensuring good contact.
Proceed with tiling directly onto the tray's surface.

Compatibility:

Sub-floors: Compatible with solid concrete and reinforced wooden sub-floors.
Adhesive: Requires flexible tile adhesive.
Tiling: Suitable for most standard tile types.

Care:

Clean the shower tray and grate regularly with mild, non-abrasive cleaners.
Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the surface or grate.
Periodically check the drain for any blockages and clear as needed.
