Hi,

I have a screeded concrete floor in my bathroom and instead of a conventional shower tray I want to have a wet room style linear drain floor. The area I am using is a corner and I have found linear former trays but they all require an envelope style tiling system. Would be possible to just grind a slope out of the existing concrete and then tank and tile placing the linear drain right against the wall so I would then be able to tile "normally" down the slope to the drain. I understand there would be a lip on the edge but this difference in height would be catered for with a screen sitting on the lip. Any thoughts on why this could or could not be done?

Thank you :)

You can get trays which slope in there entirety from one end to the other. No envelope cuts.

Hi, I have been searching for linear shower trays and linear tray formers all have an envelope?

Thank you Albert! £500 is a lot though but I understand it. It leads me back to my original question of would I be able to just grind the concrete to a slope myself instead of fitting a tray? as long as it tanked just wondering if anyone else has done this? Thanks Again!
