How to install a resin shower tray.

Today, we are going to delve into the installation of resin SHOWER TRAYS because, having presented so many models on the market, (flush, supported ..) it leads to confusion.
As we have already seen in many houses and hotels, the tendency is to place dishes flush with the pavement and that is why, we are going to analyze the pros and cons of each installation so that you decide which is the best option in your case

FLUSH INSTALLATION

In this scheme of the GRANDFORM SLIM shower tray , we can easily see how, below the level of the tray, we will always need to have a hole of at least 5.5 cm, to be able to accommodate the valve (in this case the Extra Flat type) from which the drain pipe starts to the downspout.
To this we would have to add 3 cm of the thickness of the plate , so we need a minimum of 8.5 cm of gap between the level of finish of the pavement and the floor.you will need to buy shower drain. You can buy best shower drains from the market.

The more inclination the tube takes to the downspout and the closer it is, the better and faster the evacuation of water will be.
If we do not respect these measures and the tube is flat or very far, we will have problems with the evacuation of water.In the event of a lack of fall or too much distance to the downspout, we can always resort, as already explained, to the installation of a SANITRIT pump or grinder that drives the residual water to it.This FLOORED installation, sometimes, we find that it has been done through the slab passing through the lower floor, making it much easier to place with the ceramic cloth.

The PROS of this installation system are obviously the continuity of the pavement , which is the least obstacle for people with reduced mobility and a very clean aesthetic .

The CONS are also obvious: the need for a greater gap for placement (since the thickness of the plate itself must be added), greater difficulty in creating a seal between the pavement and the plate (since a joint occurs between them) and difficulty in place the lamp (if you then put a rail so that the glass slides over the entire surface, the effect of continuity is lost).joint between floor and shower tray

FLOOR INSTALLATION
For this, as we have already seen in the diagram, we do not need to include the thickness of the plate in the total measure to be embedded, but simply the height of the drain. (depending on whether it is normal or slimline). In this case, 5.5 cms.We also get a leaner and cleaner joint, by resting on the pavement.There are extra flat solutions that allow the difference between flooring and shower to be less than 3 cm.

SLIM GRANDFORM shower tray
In addition, models such as the 3 cm thick GRANDFORM SLIM , available in square (80, 90 and 100 cm), angled or corner (90 and 100 cm) and 16 rectangular measurements between 70 and 180 cm. You can also place it flush. All the possibilities at your fingertips!
The extra flat drain of 90 millimeters in diameter included in these dishes, ensures a quick and correct evacuation, minimizing the risk of jamming, as well as facilitating installation and minimizing the need for work.
The drain comes with a stainless steel grid that, without protruding from the surface of the plate, prevents foreign bodies from obstructing it, in addition to reinforcing the minimalist style of the designs. This grid is capable of outputting a flow of 25 liters per minute and with a closing water level of 30 mm.
All the plates are built with BIOTEC , an exclusive SFA acrylic compound that offers an exquisite finish as well as great resistance, thanks to its internal steel structure, despite its reduced thickness.
You can find them in colors: Brown Gray, Anthracite Gray, Sand, Matte White, Glossy White, Cement Gray and Matte Black.
