HI Folks
Our downstairs shower room is a disaster! The guy who installed it was trying for a sort-of wet-room approach - so there's an area (6ft x 2'6"ft) across the width of the room - tiled, with a 6" high tiled 'barrier' along the 6' width - all sloping to a drain.
Trouble is, the slope's wrong, the grouting is recessed between the tiles & it don't drain ! There are more problems - but I don;t want to bore you
So - plan is to plant a slimline (45mm deep - 800mm sq) tray on top of the tiled barrier - suitably supported - and raise the level of the other half of the area to provide somewhere to step out onto - probably covering it with vinyl. A pivoting shower door & side panel will enclose the cubicle...
This is going to require an additional hole through the wall for the new tray drain (not a big problem).
What I can't decide is how best to arrange the supporting for the tray and the raised area. Don't really want to get involved with tonnes of concrete ...
..so I was thinking about a timber structure, topped with 'green' flooring grade chipboard - well siliconed around the edges and maybe varnised...?
How much support do these slimline trays want ? -
Thanks Adrian
