Scope of use

Marmox Shower bases are designed to provide a waterproof foundation for tiled showers. They are often used to create a watertight barrier to prevent water from seeping into the underlying structure such as the subfloor or walls.

They are compatible with various types of tile, including ceramic, porcelain and natural stone. They provide a stable and even surface for the installation of tiles in a shower area.

They are designed to work with underfloor heating systems providing additional comfort and warmth in the shower area.

They may be used in various applications including accessible showers and wet rooms, as they can be installed flush with the floor to allow easy entry and exit.

Conditions of use

Note

  1. Ensure that you read the instructions before installation.
  2. Use a cement based flexible tile adhesive (Classification C2).
  3. If laying on a timber floor, it is recommended that a tile and slate underlay be laid first.
  4. Use any Branz approved water-based waterproofing (non solvent based).
