[QUOTE="Filip, post: 899449, member: 50095"] I have fitted 3 mira flight trays and love the ones with 4 upstands [URL='https://www.mirashowers.co.uk/shower-trays/mira-flight-square-800-x-800-4-upstands/']Mira Flight - Square - 800 x 800 - 4 Upstands by Mira Showers - https://www.mirashowers.co.uk/shower-trays/mira-flight-square-800-x-800-4-upstands/[/URL]. The tray is chopped into the plaster so that the thin upstand/flange fits flush with the plaster then you tile down the plaster and down onto the tray - leaving 5 mm silicone gap. The shower cubical fits inside the upstands meaning it is impossible for the cubical to leak at the bottom. I dont trust the strength and stability of the leg kits - they are like kitchen cupboard legs and so prefer to use lengths of 3x2 ontop of the floorboards and 90degree to the joists. ontop of that I add 18 or 22mm ply and sit the tray on a bed of no nails type adhesive but really most of it squishes out and the tray sits on its slightly raised bottom form sections with the adhesive around those. I make sure that the ply is smaller than the tray to allow whatever cover panel I am using to sit nicely under the tray. One more thing is that the rubber seals that come with waste never seem to be watertight no matter how fancy they look so I use plumers gold silicone in between every rubber seal on the waste [IMG]https://www.plumbase.co.uk/coram-shower-waste-and-trap-for-02208085L.jpg[/IMG] These type of waste I think are the best that have a hand tight base that you can remove to clean out. BUT make sure that your tray is high enough to allow for it to drop down once unscrewed or cut out a section in the floorboards to allow it. And make sure that you plan the wast position so that the waste is at one of the two sides just behind your covering panels [/QUOTE]
