floor formers.....how much?

[JDX]

I am investigating the price of floor formers....they are so expensive! The floor area is 1200 x 1200 & I wanted a linear drain to butt up to the wall to keep the tiling neat but I cannot find anything...any suggestions please? (This is a DIY project in a victorian house with wooden floorboards).

There are loads of suppliers about, as for price then it varies from supplier to supplier.. some sites might not have linear systems on show, so worth calling them to see if they sell them ..

PHG Wetrooms

Tilefix direct

are a couple good ones for wet room products.

Thank you for the reply Dave, I will spend a bit more time looking...haven't found the right thing yet, have looked at PHG & Tilefix & also Impey (huge prices), marmox, Topps, Kaskade, maxxus, Schluter, aquafix & others over the last couple of days. I am trying to avoid diagonal cuts in the tiles, prefering a minimalistic look - have built the stud walls either side & the rear of the wetroom is an external wall, so the waste can go straight out into the stack easily, so I want a linear full width 1200 waste which can butt up against the external wall, any suggestions greatly appreciated. I'm now thinking, maybe I could make something myself with a slope to the drain...do you professional guys ever do that?

You can make a former but it is wise to use one that suits the drain , so they marry together etc ...

Just had a couple of bad shower formers from the Bathstore the lip on the drain edge was not deep enough it was only about 5mm high and had a long slimline center tray which was tiled this was even lower than the outside trim so when it was tiled left a raw cut edge all the way round the drain the plumber fitted them so just had to tile them it did not look good.
