Shower trays

[Malc]

Hi,

I've read that stone shower trays are better. They are more a pain to fit but the light weight ones drum from the water hitting them. I've come across pearlstone. Are these "stone" that is dead to noise so no problem with the shower hitting the tray?

TIA

If you possibly can, fit a stone resin tray without any riser legs....they are wonderfully stable so that sealing is easier than the acrylic ones (no movement) and the water splash noise is negligible. You certainly get what you pay for, and quality kit such as Mira come with a quality waste too.

That's what I plan to do, fit "stone" but I wasn't sure if pearlstone is "stone" or not.

In fact I don't this this one will do anyway. I wanted to get the drain the other side of the joist but I reckon the drain on this is 643mm to the edge, not 450mm as my brain thought (stupid brain). This is on a 900x900 quadrant BTW.

I think I might have to use something like wickes' tray with the drain in the corner and come through the joist. Although that doesn't work either to given the fall I want, but probably is the best I can do. That's going through the joist centre as per building regs. I could tweak that a bit as max hole is 210x0.25 =52 so I could offset my 42mm pipe by 10mm.

Can you put a quadrant shower frame on a wet room style floor? And can you put the drain where you want on a wet floor?
