Are shower trays any good that have threaded bar screw in legs as a riser kit?
What happens in the long term for stone resin- any experience?I've never come across any riser kits that are any good long term. Nice solid 18mm topped wooden plinth every time for me.
I guess long term will be reliant on use and weight and floor type.What happens in the long term for stone resin- any experience?
Interesting. You’d just assume they’d engineer them so they have enough legs to sustain the integrity of the tray over time. Reason for asking is that I’ve just installed a resin tray on a legs kit. 5 legs for 900 by 900 tray. I reinforced the middle section of flooring (floorboards underneath). Seems rock solid now- will have to see how we get on I guess. Luckily none of us who will be using it are units….I guess long term will be reliant on use and weight and floor type.
I find the problem with risers, especially on floating floors, is that the legs move due to the point loading, that then means over time that the wall/tile seal can be compromised. Added to that, due to the same point loading but on the tray itself, if it is being used a lot with a more heavier user then the tray can actually crack. Seen that a few times too.
Any tray, in my experience, should always be supported over the majority of it's footprint, that will minimise any longer term issues of cracking or seal problems
