I've been doing a search on bedding a shower tray, and have come up with the following suggestions if I want the tray to sit as low down as possible on the floor (assuming I have enough of a gradient left for the trap/waste run).
- Replace floorboards with 18mm WBP Ply, leaving hole for trap/waste
- Bed down onto a mortar mix and level flat
- Wait till dry - Tile and Seal afterward
It's also been mentioned to build up the tray onto a wooden frame before bedding down. Is this necessary, and what does it entail exactly? I want the tray to be as secure as possible - does the mortar mix 'stick' to the WBP Ply effectively to stop the tray moving?
Thanks
