How on earth do you fit the shower tray waste?

[Softus]

Can you explain how an aqua deck installation creates a step ?

That has nothing to do with this topic.

It has.

It avoids the step associated with shower trays

No it doesn't.

I'm declining a discussion on this question because I believe it has nothing to do with this topic. Feel free to carry discussing it without me, but I don't see anyone else leaping to join in with you.

I'll join in, Orcon, its aqua DEC not aqua deck. these are for wet rooms, not shower trays.

Very useful info, thanks. But I still dont see how I will be able to reach the 760mm or so under the tray, as the waste will be in a back corner.

Have you measured your arm?

In any case, you'd only ever need to reach it for maintenance, and if you do it right then no maintenance will ever be necessary.

On what do you base this article of faith?

Exactly. If you do it right then no maintainance will ever be necessary.

Yep and the drains are concealed/buried so no easy access.
Raised plinths are for retrofits where existing drain's are not easily accessible or inexperienced diyers with no confidence in their plumbing skills.

You appear to be repeating the words that I wrote.

Better to start a new thread than tag onto one several years old.

However, if you have a resin stone tray then I would bed it on a weak mortar mix if the manufacturers instructions state that. It is vital the tray has adequate support over the whole base, otherwise if it fails (cracks) then any guarantee would be void if it hasn't been fitted in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
