Bedding the Mira flight low shower tray

[Speedoman]

Hi

I have put a couple of posts previously asking about shower trays and thank you everyone for replying!

I have a question about bedding the Mira flight low shower tray onto plywood with BAL single part fast flex.

I am planning to use a 10 mm trowel as the maximum bedding thickness for BAL single part fast flex is 10 mm.

When you look underneath the Mira flight low shower tray you can see that the outer edge that goes all the way round the shower tray is raised even more than the other raised moulded areas under the shower tray.

After the tile adhesive gets put on the plywood with a 10 mm trowel and the shower tray gets bedded, I would then put boxes of tiles on the shower tray to weigh the shower tray down.

The question I am asking is, does that outer edge that goes all the way round the shower tray interfere with the bedding of the shower tray because it is raised higher than the other raised moulded areas where the tile adhesive is making contact?

If there a different way about bedding the Mira flight low shower tray in tile adhesive, please let me know.

Thank you for any advice!!

As long as the adhesive bonds to the underneath of the tray with enough coverage , the you will be ok .

You can serrate the floor and back butter the tray for increased bond .

Don't use tubbed gear like a plumber I know did:yikes:

You may get different advice on a Plumbers Forum.

I went to tile a bathroom 2 weeks ago and plumber had bedded the tray with ready mix gear. Only problem was the floor ran out nearly an inch ( old property). Stood on the tray 4 days after he fitted it and it all moved. Then had to spend my time doing it right:mad2:

Worked out I will fit the shower tray by cutting the plywood, so that it fits inside the outer edge of the shower tray!

Same as I posted in another thread, if you need to build the bed up you can do it like this and still get a solid bed.

I usually bed them by dot dabbing every 200mm or so, fairly thick blobs of different sizes in order to ensure tray is level (cement adhesive)

Thanks, but using flexible tile adhesive

Yes, use flexi adhesive if you want.
