Hi
As part of our new extension I am installing a shower in a shower room (Inc WC and basin). The walls around the shower cubicle are waterresistant plasterboard and the floor is 18mm waterresistant chipboard.
I plan on having wall tiles floor to ceiling throughout the shower room and floor tiles accross the whole floor.
First, should I tile the whole floor including under the shower tray? (I have plenty of tiles)
The shower tray is a grp/plastic type with a welded steel support structure under the tray. (Came as combined tray/cubicle system) It is of the raised type with adjustable legs. There is no built in riser for sealing.
Should I provide any sort of reinforcement to the floor under the tray? (200x50mm floor joists at 400mm center's)
Should I tile right down to the floor or fit the tray tight against the wall and tile down to it? and how would you recommend I seal it to the tiles?
Any other advice?
