Troubleshooting
Strip not adhering properly
Ensure the shower tray surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free of any residue (grease, dust, old adhesive) before applying a suitable bathroom-grade adhesive or silicone. Allow adequate curing time as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Strip is too long for the installation area
The strip can be carefully cut to the required length using a metal-cutting saw or grinder. Ensure accurate measurements and use safety precautions (eye protection, gloves) during cutting.
Visible gap between strip and tray
Apply a thin, consistent bead of bathroom-grade silicone sealant along the edge where the strip meets the tray to fill any minor gaps and ensure a watertight seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This strip is designed to be fitted to the front edge of a shower tray. It typically attaches using appropriate bathroom-grade adhesive or silicone sealant, depending on the tray material and desired permanence. Ensure the shower tray edge is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application for optimal adhesion. The 1300mm length may need to be cut to size for smaller installations using appropriate metal cutting tools.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with shower trays that have an edge or require a transition to a drain. It is most effective when used in conjunction with edge or drop moldings to create a cohesive look. Ensure the width (12mm) and height (52mm) are suitable for your specific shower tray design.
Care: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the stainless steel surface. Mild soap and water are generally sufficient for daily cleaning. Promptly wipe away any excess water to prevent water spots.
