Installing Kaskade Shower Tray into an Existing Concrete Floor |
||||
| A/Cut out concrete floor to the size of the shower base, plus an extra 100mm in both directions. Depth of cut-out should be approximately 40mm. Cut out deeper recess for the trap and waste; black rubber seal of the trap should be 28mm below existing floor level. Put the trap and waste into position and fill round with a weak sand and cement mix. |  |
|
|---|---|---|
| B/ Lay a level bed of fast-setting concrete into the whole cut-out area, ensuring that it is 32mm below the existing floor level. |  |
|
|
|
|
| C/ Drill two 4mm holes into both outside edges of the shower base, and carefully screw in the four stainless steel anchors. |  |
|
| D/ Stick the temporary 6mm rubber strip into the rebate of the room-facing edges of the shower base. |  |
|
| E/ Prime the concrete and then apply a bed of good quality flexible tile adhesive to the new concrete bed. Set the shower base on to the adhesive, ensuring that the top is flush with the existing floor level and that a 3mm gap is left between the shower base and the walls. Assemble and install remaining parts of the trap. |  |
|
F/ Fill void around the shower base with screed. |
 |
|
| G/ When the screed is set, remove rubber protection strip and fill the gap with Mega Power Sealant, as well as gaps between the shower base and the walls. If tiling over Kaskade, prime the surrounding concrete before tiling with two coats of SBR Tilers Primer, diluted 3:1, to fully waterproof it. |  |
|
| H/ Always wait until all new screed is fully cured before laying any floor covering.(Remembed walls must be waterproof before tiling - Use No More Ply or Megaproof) |  |
|
| Please Note/Always use Megalastic Wetroom Tile Adhesive for tiling over your Kaskade Shower base. Always use a good quality flexible grout or epoxy grout. |  |
