I am awaiting delivery of a shower tray over the next few days and have started thinking of best way to fit the tray. It is not square by the way but all curves (except two sides that butt to wall).
Will be tiling wall above tray after fitting. Tray is about 2" deep (so no tall sides).
I did think of tray on floor and trap/pipes running under floor. Problem is that wooden joists run wrong way so hard to do and trap will not be accessible for maintenance.
So think will raise on a wooden frame with 3/4" ply board. As a reminder this is a large curved edge tray (expensive shower as tray and glass etc. was £2,700).
Question is... should I make the wooden frame of a size where the tray "drop edge" just hangs over the edge of the wooden frame? If so I then have to fill the gap between the bottom of the tray and the floor (in this case carpetted) and what are the different ways to fill this gap? I intended to make the wooden base high enough to allow access to the trap if required (say 6" ish).
Another way I thought of is to make the wooden base bigger than the tray so the shower fits on a false floor in effect... but its all curves and then I'd have to waterproof (tile) this false bit of floor and... hmmm...
Any thoughts from those who have done this?
Thanks in advance
