GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRODUCT
The highest quality polymethylacrylate, in other words, "Acrylic" is used as the primary material in the production of
VitrA Acrylic Shower Trays. Acrylic which has a high wear resistance is preferred because it can be easily cleaned
and does not host microorganisms.
Acrylic is known to be one of most accommodating materials for human nature. Having a flexible structure, acrylic
maintains its resilience against impacts and does not deform. Any small scratches which might occur on the surface
can easily be eliminated through polishing. Acrylic products do not lose their shine due to a homogenous
distribution of color cells, and saves the “first day appearance” over years.
The acrylic plates used in the production of VitrA Acrylic Shower Trays are supplied from Lucite International (ICI)
which is one of the leading producers of acrylic materials in the world and meets the EN 263 Standards for Acrylic
Plates. The plates are assured against wear and tear through a ten-year aging test conducted by TUBITAK.
Vitra Shower Trays which are produced to meet the TSEK – DIN 249 – GOSS Acrylic Shower Tray standards, also
meet TS301-DIN2440 standards in the leg sets and the EN 274 standard in the siphons.
The usage life of the product is 10 years as per the communiqué on “After-sale Services of Industrial products”
published by TR the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

INSTALLATION OF SHOWER TRAYS
Installation of Shower Trays with Panels
5
1- The shower tray should be installed to a structurally prepared floor.
Temporarily place the shower tray at the installation area. Remove the protective folio of the shower tray from its sides that are touching the wall
and from the area around the siphon. The remaining protective folio on the shower tray should be removed only after the shower tray installation
and other construction works in the bathroom are finished.
2- If the shower tray is purchased with a packaging on pallets, the leg sets must be installed to the shower tray. In this case the leg profiles are
prepared to be installed on the shower tray. The shower tray is placed upside down on a clean floor and the U shaped legs are inserted to the
toggle and fixed to the bottom of the product via two screws. If the shower tray’s legs are new profile legs then the New Profile Leg Installation
steps should be followed.
3- Adjust and level the leg set according to the height of the panel. Check the evenness with a scale. (See the Technical Data Sheet for the panel
height).
4- Tighten the let sets nuts.
5- The floor tiles are marked through the holes in the leg set’s plastic feet. Caution! Where wall hangers are used there’s no need to fix the legs of
the shower tray to the floor. However if there are un level walls the leg installation holes for the shower trays are drilled with a 7-8 tip drill. Caution!
No hole should be drilled on heated and isolated floors.
6- The points on the wall tiles are marked for installing the wall hangers. (The spots shown with “A” in in the "Plan” section of the Technical Data
Sheet).
7- The shower trays is removed from its location. The spots marked on the wall are drilled with a tip 10 drill (and if required, the spots marked on
the floor are drilled with a tip 7-8 drill), the pegs are inserted in the holes and the wall hangers are installed. (The spots shown as “Wall Hanger
Detail” in the Technical Data Sheet).
8- The siphon outlet connection is supported with silicone.
9- The prepared siphon is installed. (At this stage do not forget to remove protective folio on the shower tray around the siphon hole.) After the
siphon outlet is connected it is checked for leak proof ness.
10- The legs of the shower tray are screwed to the floor. However, as mentioned above, if wall hangers are used there’s no need to fix the legs of the
shower tray to the floor. The legs of the shower tray are fixed to the floor if there are un-level walls. (Caution! No hole should be drilled on heated
and isolated floors).
11- The shower tray is fixed to the wall using the wall hangers. (Technical details are shown as “Wall Hanger Detail” in the Technical Data Sheet).
12- The protective folios of the panels are removed.
Points that Require Attention:
• Because of the technical properties of the products, the installation of shower trays were classified into four methods and explained in the
following order:
1. Installation of Shower Trays with Panels
2. Installation of Monoblock Shower Trays
3. Installation of Flat Shower Trays and Shower Trays for the Disabled
4. Installation of Zero Surface Shower Trays
• For the technical details of shower trays, the technical data sheets should be consulted.
• Before installation it should be checked that the floor tiles are even and the walls are 90°C at the installation location.
• We recommend to install shower trays with panels and monoblock shower trays only after tiling the wall tiles and completing all construction
work in the bathroom.
• The installation of flat and zero surface shower trays should be performed before or during tiling
• Cold and hot water connections must be already realized.
