FAQs
What material is the shower base made of?
The shower base is made of SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound), which is a composite material reinforced with resin, fiberglass, and stone powder for enhanced durability.
Is the drain included with the shower base?
No, the drain is not included. You will need to purchase a standard 9 cm drain separately.
How do I clean the shower base?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools.
What are the external dimensions of the shower base?
The dimensions are 90 cm wide x 80 cm deep x 2.6 cm thick.
Is the surface slippery when wet?
No, the shower base features a skid-resistant slate stone surface design to help prevent slips.
What is the benefit of the low threshold?
The low threshold provides easier and safer entry and exit from the shower, which is particularly useful for children and the elderly.
Can this shower base be installed directly on a wooden floor?
The shower base needs to be installed on a level and stable subfloor. It should be securely bedded in mortar or an appropriate adhesive for optimal stability and support, regardless of the subfloor type.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling around the drain
Ensure the drain assembly is correctly installed and sealed. Check that the shower tray itself is level and properly supported. Verify the waste pipe is not blocked.
Scratches on the surface
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out using a non-abrasive plastic polish. For deeper scratches, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools.
Tray feels unstable
The tray may not be adequately supported. Re-check the installation and ensure it is properly bedded in mortar or adhesive as per the instructions. Ensure all mounting points are secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation requires careful adherence to the provided instructions. Ensure the subfloor is level and prepared according to plumbing and building codes. The tray should be securely bedded in a mortar mix or appropriate adhesive for stability. Connect the drain assembly (sold separately) to the tray and the waste pipe, ensuring a watertight seal.
Compatibility: The tray features a standard 9 cm drain opening, compatible with most commercially available shower drains. It is designed for use with standard shower enclosures and plumbing.
Care: Clean the shower base regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the SMC surface. Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth.
