Hi, I'm in the process of making a shower room. I'd be grateful for some help with the following issues:
The room measures approx 3m long by 1m60 wide.
The floor is 3/4 oak boards (approx 15 years young, very good nick), 1/4 concrete.
1. We would like to install a shower tray onto the floor with boards. An area of approx 1m95 x 1m60. This is made from polystyrene so it can be cut to size and then tiled as we have interestingly angled walls! What would be the best prep for this? Plastic sheeting then OSB then tray? Or does it need a layer of light weight concrete?
2. As the tray will be tiled, the pipes will be hidden. I would prefer to have access to the plumbing, any ideas on access traps for the evacuation and water pipes? The room below is the kitchen and the ceiling is in fact the floor boards of the shower - would it be best to run the evacuation and plumbing below the boards into the kitchen? Then conceal after?
3. Re the evacuation pipes, what would the recommended incline & diameter be for a fast drainage?
Many Many thanks in advance for your comments.
