WATER RESISTANT PLASTER-BOARD INSTALLATION:

The Posh Bristol shower base has a 9mm wide tile flange. Place the base against the framework, install water resistant plaster-board directly on top of the tile flange and seal the joint with silicone sealant.

VILLABOARD INSTALLATION:

When using Villaboard, the Posh Bristol shower base will need to be checked into the framework at a minimum of 3mm. Install the Villaboard directly on top of the tile flange and seal the joint with a silicone sealant.

The shower base should be visually checked for defects prior to installation. Failure to do so will void warranty.

Note: Please check minimum/maximum adjustments of your shower screen before commencing the installation of base.

The following points should be taken into account to determine if the installation method used will be suitable for the screen selected.

• Wall lining thickness

• Check in depth

• Tiled or Acrylic walls

• Front and return tile flange

1. Floorboards or sheet flooring must cover theentire underside of the Posh Bristol showerbase. Cut a hole through the floor no greaterthan 200mm x 200mm. Concrete shouldbe cut wider at 300mm x 300mm. If you aredoing a renovation, the floorboards must bechecked for durability as rotting may haveoccurred and the flooring may need to bereplaced.

2. The Posh Bristol shower base can beinstalled on silicone or building adhesive overthe total base area. Lay the base on the floorand check that it is level on both sides as wellas the front and the rear. This will ensure thatthe base drains effectively to the waste outlet.Note: If your floor is not level, use a cementbased tile adhesive spread over the floor witha 12mm notched trowel to ensure the base isfully supported. Cement based tile adhesivemust be left to cure before installing the PoshBristol shower base.

3. It is essential to test for water run off tothe waste outlet prior to commencing theinstallation of the shower walls. This willensure the shower base is draining correctly.Failure to follow this step will void theguarantee.

4. It is highly recommended that you coverand protect the Posh Bristol shower basethroughout installation and until it comes intoservice.

5. Finally apply silicone to the bottom edge ofthe shower wall to the shower base beforethe screen is fitted. You will also requiresilicone around the shower base outlet.

CLEANING:The surface of the Posh Bristol shower base will resist most surface build up. To preserve the superior appearance of the shower based it is best cleaned with a soft cloth with warm soapy water, or general household detergent.

AVOID ABRASIVESPlease avoid using abrasive cleaning products, as well as steel wool and abrasive cloths.
