hi can anyone give advice about tiling round a floor drain in a wetroom?
basicly the drain is like this.
1. a white drain body " 10 inch " in diameter with a bottle trap underneath which connects to the waste.
2. there is a sqaure metal grid which sits in a plastic cap. underneath the cap is a round lip which sits in the main body.

the main body has a lip which fits into the cap. but also around the lip there are little slits which look like the allow water to drain away, anything that dosent go down the grid.

my question is if i fit the cap (with the sqaure grid on it) to the main body and tile round it will the adhesive block the slits around the main body hole?
basicly do i just fit the grid and tile round it?
will i block the slits around the main drain hole with adhesive?

What make of drain/tray is it..?

What make of trap is it

i dont know what make it is. its an insurance job and its the original drain. ive not bought it and there are no markings on it.

i just want to know do i fit the cap and tile round it or is there some special way to do it. sorry i dont have much info. any help would be greatful.
its not a pre formed tray. its just a plastic trap which is fitted into a plywood floor which has been tanked.

...maybe that is why it is an insurance job..

yep i think you are right but work is work. is there any advice when it comes to tiling round a grid and dose the make matter?

Without seeing or knowing the make it isn't easy to advice the way to go...as some work differently to others.....have to tiled wetroom floors before..?

If it's on a ply floor are there any falls to the drain

Last job I did was similar I think, The top half of the trap unscrewed and you put the tanking membrane or reinforcing mesh over this and tanked it up, then you cut a hole over the trap and rescrewed the top half of the trap, clamping the tanking membrane in between, there were gaps around the grid to allow any moisture under the tiles to drain away through the adhesive

yes ive done the weber pre formed trays and impy decks both pre formed trays with traps built in. this is the first one like this ive done.

Ok..so you know to make sure the drain is water tight in the substrate....the rest will be simples...

yes the ply wood floor dose fall to the drain. tommyzoom yes the way you describe it sounds the same drain. it clamps to the tanking/ply wood and has a plastic cap that pulls off. there are slits around the main trap to allow moisture to drain away.

drain is water tight. would you just fit the grid, tile round it and try to keep the moisture holes clean?

So it's tanked up then

I think even if the weep holes are covered in adhesive, it is designed to allow any residual moisture to seep through eventually,

right then sounds like that is the way to go. yes its all tanked up and ready to tile just wasnt sure about these moisture slits in the trap. thankyou to all for replying.

Picture maybeeeeeeee m8 ?
