Should Wetwall be installed above or behind a shower tray?

[RustyScot]

Greetings to all,
I'm in the middle of installing a 900mm corner shower cubicle in my bathroom and can't determine if i should install the shower tray infront of the wetwall or should I install the shower tray first then fit the wetwall.

Can anyone advise please?

Thanks,
Rusty Scot

Shower tray then wetwall on top. Does the tray have an upstand? Does the wetwall come with a kit of special trims including a seating bead for the tray? How are you fixing the board to the wall?

Thanks for such a swift reply Rigidraider

i) I don't know if the shower tray has an upstand (what is an upstand) the Tray's being shipped this weekend

ii) The Wetwall has an Internal angle trim and an end profile trim but that's all.

iii) The wetwall is being stuck to a new aquapanel wall using a 6mm bead of Gripfill in a zig zag pattern

Thanks again

An upstand is a raised lip around the edges of the tray, over which you tile or board. It reduces the risk of leaks. Some trays come either with or without it.

Worth checking your tray has this and even amending the order?

Thanks again RigidRaider,
I'll look into it.

I recently installed Multipanel by Grant Westfield and was advised to fit the Multipanel down on to the shower tray. Although both methods of installation are acceptable.I found the Multipanel to be very fast instalation. They do not invalidate their 10 year guarantee if you use any available sealants. They do provide a special bottom seal if prefered.
