HI Folks

Our downstairs shower room is a disaster!
The guy who installed it was trying for a sort-of wet-room approach -
so there's an area (6ft x 2'6"ft) across the width of the room - tiled,
with a 6" high tiled 'barrier' along the 6' width - all sloping to a drain.

Trouble is, the slope's wrong, the grouting is recessed between the
tiles & it don't drain ! g There are more problems - but I don;t want
to bore you g

So - plan is to plant a slimline (45mm deep - 800mm sq) tray on top of
the tiled barrier - suitably supported - and raise the level of the
other half of the area to provide somewhere to step out onto - probably
covering it with vinyl. A pivoting shower door & side panel will enclose
the cubicle...

This is going to require an additional hole through the wall for the new
tray drain (not a big problem).

What I can't decide is how best to arrange the supporting for the tray
and the raised area. Don't really want to get involved with tonnes of
concrete ...

...so I was thinking about a timber structure, topped with 'green'
flooring grade chipboard - well siliconed around the edges and maybe
varnised...?

How much support do these slimline trays want ? -

anything more fancy...

Thanks
