    Default Another Wetroom Install

    Yes, it's been a while

    I've decided to use the Tilux tray as advertised on Wetdec's site. I've used it once before and was very impressed.

    I've decided on the 1200 square tray. As the back wall is out of square I will need to trim the former to the right shape, but the 1200 x 1200 will provide enough material for me to cut from.

    I have a few questions regarding the former. I'm hoping Wet Dec's on line and can oblige

    1) Can anyone remind me of the max depth of the trap from the base of the tray please?

    2) Is the waste in the exact centre of the tray or is it offset? I seem to remember that it is in the centre but I just wanted to check.

    I need 1 and 2 now to plan the run of the drain, as some of it will be concreted around when I lay the floor.

    3) Do I remember correctly that 2 inches depth (where the screed has been removed) should be left to accomodate the tray. This is a new concrete floor and I will be leaving the usuall 3 inches from floor level. 1/2 an inch plus will be allowed for the tiles and there will be a slight fall towards the tray that is the other end of the room.

    Thanks

    Hugo

    Lurking mate

    Anyway I think I may have answered one of my questions looking at the Tilux site. Apparently the drain is 70mm deep, so I'm thinking that 100mm depth below the former should be more than enough

    The problem is that I have to run all the drainage underneath the concrete floor. I'll obviously be using solvent weld on the 1 1/2. The 4 inch drain is already in situ and they connect via a strap on boss further down.

    Before I lay the floor I'll need to shutter off the run for the smaller solvent weld drain pipe. This will run to and down the side of the room to connect to a drain coming from an adjacent room.

    Wow!

    A few familiar names here.

    I've not done much tiling lately. The last such time was installing a new shower cubicle. It was more of a building job really - leaking shower tray had rotted out the floor.

    Anyway, this wetroom is for some friends of ours. Their extension is carp. The cubicle started leaking after a few years. The damage is quite exstensive.
