Frequently Asked Questions About Lauxes Slimline Tile Insert Shower Pack 26 - Gunmetal
Q: What is Shower Pack 26 designed for?
A: It is designed to integrate a fixed shower screen into the Lauxes Slimline Tile Insert 26 drainage line. The glass support carries the shower glass while allowing drainage from both the shower side and bathroom side.
Q: Should the Shower Pack 26 run wall to wall?
A: Lauxes recommends installing the system wall to wall across the threshold between the shower and bathroom for the best visual result.
Q: When should the grate and glass support be installed?
A: Install the grate and glass support only after tiling and grouting are complete. The grate must not come into contact with wet cement or screed.
Q: Can the Shower Pack 26 be cut onsite?
A: Yes. The grate can be cut to suit the installation. Lauxes specifies cutting the glass support and thinner tile-insert top tray to the shower-glass length, while maintaining clearance on the remaining tile insert so it can be removed for cleaning.
Q: What sealant should be used during installation?
A: Use neutral-cure silicone for assembly and for contact with the shower glass, following the Lauxes installation instructions.
Q: Does the grate form part of the waterproofing system?
A: No. Lauxes states that the grate does not form part of the waterproofing system. Waterproofing and the surrounding floor build-up should be completed before the grate is installed.
