Installing Kaskade Shower Tray into Timber Floor |
||||
| A/ Cut out floorboards to the size of the shower base. |  |
|
|---|---|---|
| B/ Put trap and waste into position, and support with timber to the correct height; black rubber seal of the trap should be 22mm below existing floor level. |  |
|
|
|
|
| C/ Fix noggings or extra joists where required, to provide support to all edges of the shower base as well as closely around the outlet. Use Mega Strength adhesive to ensure a firm fix for noggings. |  |
|
| D/ To allow for overboarding a floor with 6mm NO MORE PLY, the top edge of the shower base has been designed to sit 6mm proud of a 22mm floorboard floor. If installing into an 18mm floorboard floor, the joists will need to be routed by 4mm to allow the rebated edge of the base to sit flush with the floor. |  |
|
| E/ Test the base and trap positions to make sure the outlet lines up with the trap. Drill 4mm pilot holes down through the rebated edge of the shower base, without drilling into the joists, and countersink the holes level. |  |
|
F/ Remove shower base and run a bead of Mega Strength on each joist and nogging. Replace shower base and fix down using No.8 screws, filling screw holes with Mega Strength adhesive for a watertight seal. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. WARNING: Mega Strength is a permanent glue; the shower base will not be removable once fixed. Seal between the base and the wall with Mega Strength (the rebate against the wall will be filled with tile adhesive when tiling). |
 |
|
| G/ Assemble and install the remaining parts of the trap, and use the temporary plastic cover to protect the trap during tiling. |  |
|
| H/ You can now overlay the floor with No More Ply, overlapping the No More Ply boards on to the rebated edge of the shower base, having first applied a good bead of Mega Strength to get a perfect seal.
See separate installation instructions for fixing No More Ply. (Remember 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. |  |
