SHOWER BASE SITE PREPARATION

Decina shower bases do not require installation on a cement slurry mortar base,

•

as they are fitted with self-supporting feet.

To ensure proper drainage of water

•

to the waste and also for correct

installation of an optional Decina

shower screen, the floor area under

the shower base must be flat and level

to within 2mm over the width of the

proposed base installation area.

For concrete floor installations,if

•

the floor installation area is un-even

or un-level, the floor should be

relevelled using a cement based self

levelling compound (eg. ARDEX L292

or similar as per manufacturer's

instructions).

For timber or panel floor installations, it is necessary to first lay a suitable fibre

•

cement floor underlay sheet (eg. James Hardie Ceramic Tile Underlay or similar

as per manufacturer's instructions). The underlay must be laid level and all

fixings set flush with the surface to avoid unevenness.

Ensure the waste trap hole in the floor is no greater than 200 x 200mm and does

•

not encroach on the position of the self supporting feet.

For timber or panel floor installations, ensure the waste trap hole does not result

•

in the weakening of the floor, as the Decina shower base does not form part of

the building integrity. If weakened, the opening should be suitably reinforced to

provide a structurally sound and flex resistant floor once complete.

Before the shower base can be installed, the choice of wall construction and

•

wall lining method must be determined. The choice will determine which of the

following methods should be followed:

SHOWER BASE INSTALLATION FOR

ACRYLIC SHOWER WALL APPLICATIONS

a. For shower wall applications the shower base does not need checking into the

stud wall. It can be simply pushed against the stud frame. The shower base can

be installed before the wet area sheet is applied.

b. If the shower base is to be installed after the wet area sheet is installed, the wet

area sheet will need to be cut away to allow the base to sit against the stud wall,

allowing a 6mm gap all around the shower base.

c. Prior to installation remove plastic film from the base and inspect for any damage.

DO NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FILM AT THIS STAGE

d. Qualified tradesperson should assemble the waste and

adjoining plumbing. The waste assembly should be

checked to ensure it's located centrally in the shower

base waste hole for best appearance. The locking

nut should be kept loose until the Chrome top cover

is located and sits centrally in the hole, with equal

spacing around all sides. Once satisfied, tighten the

lock ring on the waste assembly back and then remove

the chrome waste cover until the end of the installation

for protection.

e. Ensure the floor surface is clean and dry. Apply a generous amount of building

adhesive to the shower base self-supporting feet - suitable for concrete bond

(adhesive not supplied – eg. Liquid Nails or similar).

f. Position the shower base against the wall studs and push the shower base

down firmly to bed the feet against the floor. Recheck the shower base level and

conduct a water test to ensure full drainage to the waste. Relevel the base as

required whilst adhesive is still uncured.

g. Allow the shower base to cure for at least 24 hrs. as per the adhesive

manufacturer's instructions before installing the wall sheeting. This ensures the

level will not change by standing on it.

h. Once the shower base bond is fully cured, the wet area sheeting can be

applied over the shower base tile bead as per the relevant wet area sheet

manufacturer's instructions. The wet area sheet should sit over the top edge

of the tile bead. Ensure the wet area sheet is installed at least 6mm above the

shower base tile bead for expansion.
