FAQs
Can this tray be installed directly onto a concrete floor?
Yes, provided the concrete floor is perfectly level and smooth. You may need to use a self-levelling compound to achieve the necessary flatness. Ensure adequate support is provided.
What is the purpose of the mineral torsion beams?
The mineral torsion beams are integrated into the tray's structure to provide exceptional rigidity and strength, preventing flexing or sagging over time, even with regular use.
How much weight can the tray support?
The tray is designed to support the weight of multiple people and standard bathroom fixtures. Specific weight limits are not provided, but it meets rigorous BS EN 14527 compliance standards for durability.
What is the warranty period for this shower tray?
The Affine Shower Tray comes with a 10-year guarantee for peace of mind.
Can I use a different waste trap if the included one isn't suitable?
The tray is designed with a 90mm outlet for standard waste fittings. While alternative compatible traps can be used, ensure they meet the required flow rate and size specifications for optimal performance.
Is the riser kit mandatory for installation?
The riser kit is optional but highly recommended for installations where extra height is needed to accommodate waste pipes or when the tray is placed on an uneven surface.
What tools are needed to cut the tray?
A fine-toothed saw or jigsaw with an appropriate blade for acrylic or ABS materials is typically recommended. Always measure twice and cut once, and ensure you wear safety glasses.
Troubleshooting
Tray is not level
Adjust the levelling feet or shims beneath the tray. Ensure the subfloor is adequately prepared and level before installation.
Water pooling around the edges
Check that the tray is correctly sealed to the walls and floor. Ensure the waste trap is functioning correctly and the tray has a slight fall towards the waste outlet.
Waste pipe connection is difficult
Confirm you are using the correct 40mm pipe connection for the waste outlet. Ensure the riser kit is fully engaged if used to provide extra clearance.
Tray is cracked or damaged
Inspect the tray for damage upon delivery before installation. Contact customer support if damage is found. Avoid dropping or placing heavy objects on the tray during installation.
