FAQs

What is the INSL8 Linear Wetroom Shower Tray made of?

It is constructed from XPS (extruded Polystyrene) with a cement coating, creating an insulated and waterproof substrate.

Can I cut the shower tray to fit my space?

Yes, you can trim the tray using a standard blade or saw. You are limited to cutting a maximum of 50mm off of each side, with equal amounts removed from opposite sides.

What is the purpose of the 2% fall?

The 2% fall is a built-in slope that ensures water efficiently drains towards the linear drain, preventing water from pooling on the shower floor.

What type of adhesive should I use?

You should use a flexible tile adhesive to fix the tray directly onto a solid concrete or reinforced wood sub-floor.

Is this tray completely waterproof?

Yes, the INSL8 shower tray is designed to be 100% waterproof, providing reliable protection against moisture.

What are the dimensions of this specific model?

This specific guide is for the INSL8 Linear Wet Room Shower Tray - 800 x 800 x 30mm with Staggered Slots. Other sizes and grate options may be available.

Can I install this on a timber floor?

Yes, but only if the timber sub-floor is adequately reinforced. The tray must be fixed with flexible tile adhesive.

Troubleshooting

Tray is not draining efficiently.

Verify the 2% fall is maintained. Ensure the drain outlet is not blocked by debris or improperly installed plumbing. Check that the linear drain grate is clean and correctly seated.

Water is seeping from the edges of the tray.

Confirm that flexible tile adhesive was used and applied generously to create a full bond. Check for any gaps or cracks in the tiling or grout around the tray and repair them with appropriate sealant.

Unable to trim the tray to the desired size.

Ensure you are not exceeding the 50mm limit from each side. Use a suitable saw or blade for clean cuts. If the required cut is more than 50mm from an edge, this tray may not be suitable for your specific dimensions.

Tiles are not adhering well to the tray surface.

Ensure the cement coating on the tray is clean, dry, and free from dust before tiling. Use a tile adhesive specifically recommended for wet areas and suitable for XPS boards.
