All shower pans rest on sub-floors not finished floors. Mincey Marble’s cast
marble shower pans have been checked and leveled before leaving the shop.
They have been custom designed to drain properly if installed on a level surface.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the integral flanges to lift the pan. They are not handles and it
is critical that they are not damaged or broken in any way during installation. They insure
the pan will not leak in case there is a drain problem and water overflows the basin. They
also keep water from getting behind the wall.
INSTALLERS –PLEASE NOTE: most floors are not level. It is best to check the floor for
level before installing the pan. If the floor is not level, float the floor with mortar or other suitable
material and allow the material to dry before setting the pan. The floor should be clean and free
of dust and debris before setting the pan in place. After setting the pan in place, you must check
it in all four directions for level (front to back, side to side and diagonally in each direction) and
shim all necessary areas to level the pan making sure it doesn’t move around or rock.
The plumber should connect the drain to the pan and set the pan in place.
