Posted By: tonyI built in a good trap, screed, semi non slip vinty (not pimpled) coved and turned up walls, clamped into trap.
I use wooden ply formers if wood again with vinyl, then as above

Posted By: ferdinand2000A large (say 800mmx2m) shower tray can be one straightforward option.
Posted By: owlmanI'd use ply to first build up the floor level, then use something like this to get the falls.

Most shower trays have a lip at the edges, are there some that don't? How do you connect it to the rest of the floor, where the WC and basin are?
Posted By: ferdinand2000Posted By: ferdinand2000Over the rest of the floor apart from this room we have battens and chipboard to bring the level up.
Posted By: djhSo my latest quandary is how to build a wetroom floor. My wife doesn't like grout lines so tiles are out. So what to use to build up the floor and how to form a shower tray? Prices all seem extortionate, so I hope I've missed something.
Posted By: ferdinand2000Think I didn't supply enough information. I meant have a super sized shower in a shower room, not a wetroom.
If you have a shower tray, then it becomes a normal bathroom floor, so as per usual. Not having fitted a showeer personally, I'll avoid the detail. Anyone?
Though in a recent belt and braces one for students, I had a big shower tray and used a company to do the floor of the rest of the bathroom floor sealed like a commercial wetroom for when something would be overflowed. It did, and it was fine.
Posted By: ferdinand2000Just checking - you have used the right water-resistant stuff, haven't you?
Posted By: ferdinand2000I thought one usual way was to use formers like this
Posted By: CWattersThere are several low profile shower trays that you can set into the floor so there is no step to speak of. Just a few mm to stop the shower door seal scraping on the tiles. Easy access and no water everywhere.
Posted By: ferdinand2000Could you form your shower tray from fibreglass, maybe even laid up in situ or to a pattern by self or a fibreglass man? The gel coat can be given a finish or a mat of some sort added.
