Shower Grate Installation

11 years old and still one of the best video to help people understand

That is the best, clearest and waffleless instructional video that I have seen on installing a linear shower grate.11/10

Great explanation and information... Australia's number 1 residential defect is shower waterproofing

[@dougxavier4445]

Is there an AS standard where the shower drains have to comply with?

[@samt6322]

Great, simple easy to follow video

A beautiful and clear tutorial! And... I have exactly the same bathroom configuration which is renovating now. Only a difference with your demonstrated one is... it has a big trap located at the centre of the floor. And it collects all the drainage around (from the shower screen and from the basin loceted nearby. Could you advose me whether all the floor area must be screeded towards to this central trap or this is not neccessary due to .. . we have a shower trap. Is that acceptable to make it as a flat levelled floor ??? Thank you

Fantastic instructional video! One question I have relates to the screeding stage. Is it usual practice to screed the shower area independently of the rest of the bathroom floor? The reason I ask is because the fall inside the shower is different to the fall of the bathroom floor. In each area you want the water to drain towards the shower waste or floor waste. The perimeter of the shower where the frameless glass screen contacts the floor must be square and level (?) to give good continuous contact between the floor and the bottom of the screen. No? Inside the shower the floor must run towards the waste. Then moving away from the shower (outside the shower area) the floor should drop away from the bottom of the shower screen towards the floor waste. Phew!! Still following?? So in short (at last!) would you place angle aluminium strips or timber strips at the shower screen/ floor junction, keeping them level, then screed inside this shower area before doing the rest of the bathroom floor? And how would you attack this?

Did you end up getting an answer for this? or how did you go about it? I'm in the middle of doing my bathroom reno

Been watching The Block and there was a big issue last night about puddle flanges. Every time I1ve seen them do waterproofing its over the top of the screed and tiles are glued onto the waterproofing. Is the waterproofing done underneath the screed (in this instance) just to accommodate the puddle flange? Or, can the puddle flange be installed between the screed and tiles ? I`ll send this to Keith just to confuse them even more :-) Thanks.

Best video ever

How to use this flange in case if you want your drain grate located by back wall (with no thin tile off cuts there)? Is that OK if weconnect the grate directly to down pipe without flange, please

[@RenovatorStore]

Hi Alexander, thanks for your enquiry. We do not sell or recommend the installation of shower grates that have flanges. The reason is that flanges are typically there to somehow integrate with the waterproofing of the wall and substrate - making it a critical component of the waterproofing installation for the room. However we understand that such flanges do not meet the Australian Standards for waterproofing. We have also heard from many home owners that have had such grates with flanges installed that as the stainless steel flange expands and contracts differently to the surrounding materials the water-proofing membrane eventually splits where the flange meets the other sub materials. This causes significant problems with the moisture that has to travel under the tiles to the waste. The shower grate is just there to direct surface water to the waste. It does not need flanges to integrate with waterproofing membranes or tiles. See www.renovatorstore.com.au/blog/how-to-install-a-shower-grate/ for more information

@@RenovatorStore I have seen your tutorial (a link) Thank you. However there is a distance from the back wall and linear grate in this example. I` d like to fix the grate straight up to back wall with no extra tiles behind. I have a standard 50mm PVC down pipe and the same 50 mm metal connector in new linear stainless drain (they fit each other). Is that a normal idea to connect them together with no flanges between them. It will be a concrete sloped screed about 1000 *1000 mm. Waterproofing will be provided for both surfaces for horizontal surface and above the screed (in case) under tiles/ And all the shower walls will be generously waterproofed too. Will it work , please? Or I have to provide any king of puddle flange anyway? BTW. This bathroom has the second- central trap which might be a nice direction for any possible surface water. Is that a good solution id I install a puddle flange in the central water waste instead? Thank you for your professional suggestions!

@@alexanderchuyko4889 Our shower grates can easily be installed either against walls or offset from walls - just allow space for tiles when positioning the grate tray. As we have said we do not recommend any flanges or integration between the waterproofing and the waste tray(s) - but only your builder and waterproofer and plumber can sign off on your project. If you are purchasing shower grates from us please contact us as we can provide comprehensive installation advice, however we are not in a position to see your specific situation and therefore provide specific installation advice.

Fantastic Video! May I please ask you who created the video for you? I am needing a 3d animation created for my company. Are you able to get back to me ASAP? Thank you for sharing your video!
