FAQs
What size shower enclosure do I need for this tray?
This tray is designed specifically for a 900mm quadrant shower enclosure.
Is the surface truly non-slip?
The tray features an integrated textured surface that offers significantly more grip than standard acrylic or ceramic gloss trays.
Can I install this directly onto a wooden floor?
It is recommended to install the tray on a stable, flat surface. If installing on wood, ensure the floor is reinforced to prevent any deflection.
How do I clean the slate finish?
Clean with a mild, non-acidic bathroom cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid abrasive scouring pads.
Does this tray come with a waste trap?
The waste trap is generally sold separately. Ensure you purchase a high-flow waste trap compatible with the tray's aperture.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling near the edges
Ensure the tray was installed perfectly level using a spirit level; adjust the floor or sub-frame if the tray is tilting away from the waste drain.
Surface buildup or residue
Use a soft brush and a specialized stone-safe cleaning solution to dislodge soap scum trapped in the textured slate surface.
Drainage is slow
Check the shower waste trap for hair or debris blockage and ensure the waste pipe has a sufficient fall for gravity-assisted drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed on a perfectly level surface to ensure proper drainage toward the waste outlet. It is essential to use a suitable adhesive or mortar bed if the subfloor is uneven. The tray is designed specifically for 900mm quadrant enclosures; verify your enclosure radius matches the tray exactly before installation. For care, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or wire brushes, as these can damage the textured slate finish. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush with a mild, non-acidic bathroom cleaner and rinse thoroughly to maintain the anti-slip properties of the surface.
