Timber absorbs moisture and can swell, warp, and rot over time; concrete screeds, even when dry, can harbour movement that cracks grout lines and breaks adhesive bonds. Tile backer boards solve both problems simultaneously: the XPS foam core provides thermal insulation and decouples the tile surface from minor structural movement, while the fibreglass-reinforced cementitious faces provide a dimensionally stable, chemically compatible bonding surface for tile adhesive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIn a wet room — where water is not contained to a shower enclosure but flows across the full floor — the waterproofing requirement is absolute. A Taurus floor kit gives installers a single-box solution: boards, fixings, waterproof tape for joints, and adhesive sealant.

The general installation sequence is as follows. Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, level, and rigid — any deflection or movement in the subfloor must be addressed before installation. Lay boards in a brick-bond (staggered joint) pattern, leaving a 2–3mm expansion gap at walls and between boards. Fix mechanically using the included screws and washers at approximately 300mm centres, positioned at least 15mm from board edges and 50mm from corners. Apply the included joint reinforcing tape over all board-to-board joints and into all internal corners, bedding into the Pro-Seal adhesive. Allow to cure before tiling. Tile using a C2-rated flexible cementitious adhesive. For full installation guidance, refer to the Taurus installation instructions included in the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-callout\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003e🔲 Fixing to Timber Joist Floors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn suspended timber floors, boards should be laid perpendicular to joists and mechanically fixed through the decking into the joists at 300mm centres. The 10mm board thickness means a total build-up of approximately 10mm (board) + tile adhesive (approx. 3–6mm) + tile thickness above the existing subfloor. Where the wet room floor needs to be level with an adjacent tiled floor, the thickness of the existing floor finish being removed should be taken into account.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-callout\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003e🏗️ Fixing to Concrete Floors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn solid concrete floors, boards can be fully bonded using the included Fix-MD adhesive applied with a notched trowel, or mechanically fixed using suitable concrete fixings (not included). Board edges and joints must be taped with the included waterproof tape.

It provides a low build-up height while offering adequate rigidity and insulation for typical domestic wet room floors. For walls, a 12mm board is more commonly used as it provides greater stiffness when spanning between stud or batten centres.

The boards can be mechanically fixed to timber joist subfloors using the included screws and washers, or fully bonded to concrete using the included Fix-MD adhesive. For timber floors with significant flex or deflection, additional strutting or noggins between joists may be required to ensure the subfloor is adequately rigid before boarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eDo I need additional tanking on top of the boards?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe boards themselves are waterproof, and the included waterproof tape and Pro-Seal adhesive provide a waterproof seal at all joints and perimeter edges when correctly applied. In high-risk wet room applications where the entire floor is continuously wet, applying an additional tanking membrane over the boards before tiling provides an additional layer of protection and is good practice in accordance with BS 5385.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eHow many packs do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach pack covers 2.88m². Measure your floor area (length × width in metres) and divide by 2.88 to get the number of packs required. Add approximately 10–15% for cutting waste, particularly if the room has an irregular shape or multiple penetrations. For example, a 1200×900mm shower floor area (1.08m²) requires one pack; a full 1800×1200mm wet room floor (2.16m²) also requires one pack with boards to spare for waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWhat tile adhesive should be used over these boards?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eUse a C2-rated flexible cementitious tile adhesive for all applications over tile backer boards.

Always stagger board joints (brick-bond pattern) and ensure board edges are fully supported. Fix at a minimum of 300mm centres, 15mm from board edges and 50mm from corners. All joints, perimeter edges, and internal corners must be taped and sealed with the included tape and adhesive before tiling. Coverage figures (2.88m²) are based on full board usage without allowance for cuts; allow 10–15% additional material for waste.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taurus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63545008259421,"sku":"AP201005","price":107.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/2051\/3629\/files\/Taurus-WetRoom-Floor-Kit-Tile-Backer-Boards-ap201010.jpg?v=1771749108"},{"product_id":"taurus-wet-room-wall-kit-12mm-pack-of-4-tile-backer-boards-2-88m-coverage-xps-insulated-waterproof","title":"Taurus Wet Room Wall Kit 12mm — Pack of 4 Tile Backer Boards | 2.88m² Coverage | XPS Insulated, Waterproof","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .taurus-desc * { box-sizing: border-box;

Standard 10mm boards used on floors are supported across their full face by the subfloor beneath; wall boards, by contrast, are fixed at their edges and must resist the weight and leverage of wall tiles across an unsupported span. The additional 2mm of thickness in a 12mm board makes a meaningful difference to stiffness and tile-holding capacity, particularly with large-format tiles or natural stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12mm Taurus wall board is designed as a like-for-like replacement for 12mm plasterboard in bathroom and wet room wall construction — with the critical difference that it is genuinely waterproof rather than merely moisture-resistant.

Stud walls should have centres no greater than 600mm to provide edge support for each board. Fix boards in a staggered (brick-bond) joint pattern, starting from the bottom of the wall. Fix mechanically with the included screws and washers at approximately 300mm centres, at least 15mm from board edges and 50mm from corners. Apply the included waterproof joint tape over all board-to-board joints and into all internal corners, bedding into Pro-Seal adhesive applied with a brush. Allow adhesive to cure fully before tiling. Use a C2-rated flexible cementitious tile adhesive — notch trowel size to tile format. For full installation guidance, refer to the Taurus installation instructions included in the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"taurus-callout\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🔩 Fixing to Timber Stud Walls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFix boards with the included screws and washers directly into the timber studs at 300mm centres. Ensure studs are at 400mm or 600mm centres — the 1200mm board length divides exactly to both. Where stud centres exceed 600mm, add horizontal noggins between studs to provide intermediate support for horizontal board edges. All vertical and horizontal joints must fall over a stud or noggin — floating joints in unsupported mid-span positions are not acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"taurus-callout\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🧱 Fixing to Masonry \/ Blockwork Walls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn blockwork or brick walls, boards can be fully bonded using the included Fix-MD waterproofing adhesive applied in large dabs or as a full-bed to both the wall and board back.

On highly absorbent masonry, wet the wall surface lightly before applying adhesive to prevent premature suction.

Timber absorbs moisture and can swell, warp, and rot over time; concrete screeds, even when dry, can harbour movement that cracks grout lines and breaks adhesive bonds. Tile backer boards solve both problems simultaneously: the XPS foam core provides thermal insulation and decouples the tile surface from minor structural movement, while the fibreglass-reinforced cementitious faces provide a dimensionally stable, chemically compatible bonding surface for tile adhesive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIn a wet room — where water flows across the full floor rather than being contained to a shower enclosure — the waterproofing requirement is absolute.

Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, level, and rigid — any deflection or movement must be addressed before installation. Lay boards in a brick-bond (staggered joint) pattern, leaving a 2–3mm expansion gap at walls and between boards. Fix mechanically using the included screws and washers at approximately 300mm centres, positioned at least 15mm from board edges and 50mm from corners. Apply the included joint reinforcing tape over all board-to-board joints and into all internal corners, bedding into the Pro-Seal adhesive. Allow to cure before tiling. Tile using a C2-rated flexible cementitious adhesive. For full installation guidance, refer to the Taurus installation instructions included in the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-callout\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003e🔲 Fixing to Timber Joist Floors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn suspended timber floors, boards should be laid perpendicular to joists and mechanically fixed through the decking into the joists at 300mm centres. The 10mm board thickness means a total build-up of approximately 10mm (board) + tile adhesive (approx. 3–6mm) + tile thickness above the existing subfloor. Where the wet room floor needs to be level with an adjacent tiled area, account for the thickness of any existing floor finish being removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-callout\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003e🏗️ Fixing to Concrete Floors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn solid concrete floors, boards can be fully bonded using the included Fix-MD adhesive applied with a notched trowel, or mechanically fixed using suitable concrete fixings (not included).

The Pk6 is better value for medium to larger floor areas where one Pk4 won't stretch far enough and ordering two would leave excessive waste. For compact shower floors or small wet rooms under 2.88m², the Pk4 (AP101005) is the more economical starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eIs 10mm the right thickness for a wet room floor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes — 10mm is the standard backer board thickness for floor applications. It provides a low build-up height while offering adequate rigidity and insulation for typical domestic wet room and bathroom floors. For walls, a 12mm board is used as it provides greater stiffness when spanning between stud or batten centres.

The boards can be mechanically fixed to timber joist subfloors using the included screws and washers, or fully bonded to concrete using the included Fix-MD adhesive.

In high-risk wet room applications where the entire floor is continuously wet, applying an additional tanking membrane over the boards before tiling is good practice and is recommended in accordance with BS 5385.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWhat tile adhesive should be used over these boards?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eUse a C2-rated flexible cementitious tile adhesive. In wet rooms, a C2TE or S1 classified adhesive is recommended for its improved adhesion and flexibility. Do not use ready-mixed or acrylic-based adhesives in continuously wet areas.

The XPS core has good thermal properties and the boards are compatible with electric underfloor heating mats. Lay the UFH mat in the tile adhesive layer over the boards. The insulating core also helps direct heat upward into the tile layer rather than downward into the subfloor, improving heating efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-infobox\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Important Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e These boards are intended for professional or competent DIY floor installation — ensure the subfloor is clean, level, dry, and structurally sound before fitting. Always stagger board joints (brick-bond pattern) and ensure board edges are fully supported. Fix at a minimum of 300mm centres, 15mm from board edges and 50mm from corners. All joints, perimeter edges, and internal corners must be taped and sealed with the included tape and adhesive before tiling. Coverage figure (4.32m²) is based on full board usage without allowance for cuts — add 10–15% for actual project quantities.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taurus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63545243402589,"sku":"AP201010","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/2051\/3629\/files\/Taurus-WetRoom-Floor-Kit-Tile-Backer-Boards-ap201010.jpg?v=1771749108"},{"product_id":"taurus-wet-room-tray-former-installation-kit-fix-kst-adhesive-pro-seal-waterproof-tape-internal-corners","title":"Taurus Wet Room Tray Former Installation Kit | Fix-KST Adhesive, Pro-Seal, Waterproof Tape \u0026 Internal Corners","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .taurus-desc * { box-sizing: border-box;

Water tracking under a tray former — through an inadequately sealed perimeter joint, through an incorrectly primed timber subfloor, or through a poorly adhered bedding layer — can cause extensive structural damage that is expensive and disruptive to remedy. The Taurus installation kit provides all the correct, system-matched consumables in the right quantities for a single tray installation, ensuring the installer does not substitute incompatible materials or omit critical steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eUsing system-matched products throughout — Fix-KST for bedding, Pro-Seal for tape sealing, and pre-formed internal corners — also provides a consistent set of material properties across the installation.

The screw engages into a threaded receiver in the waste body and tightens the grate down to create a firm, rattle-free, level surface. For removal — for routine hair trap cleaning or access to the trap below — the grate simply unscrews and lifts free without tools in most installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis mechanism is the preferred choice for professional wet room installers for two reasons. First, the positive mechanical fixing prevents the grate from lifting under water pressure or foot traffic — a common problem with push-fit grates in high-flow or frequently used wet rooms. Second, because the grate is designed to be removed and replaced cleanly, it is far less likely to be damaged during maintenance than a friction-fit grate that requires levering to remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e💧 40 L\/min High Flow Rate\u003c\/strong\u003eHandles up to 40 litres per minute — comfortably above the output of most domestic power and thermostatic showers — ensuring no standing water even during peak flow.

This is the correct choice for the vast majority of wet room tray former installations in the UK, where the waste pipe runs horizontally within the floor construction to a stack or soil pipe. On timber joist floors, the horizontal outlet exits the side of the trap body and connects directly into the waste run between joists. On concrete floors with a screed, the waste pipe is typically laid within the screed bed before the tray former is positioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA vertical outlet waste — which exits downward through the floor — is only suitable where there is sufficient subfloor clearance directly beneath the drain position to accommodate a vertical trap and connect to a pipe running below the structural floor. This is uncommon in domestic residential construction.

The 2-2 Universal trap is for installations specifically using 50mm waste pipe throughout — typically where Building Control has required a larger bore, or where the installation is a commercial or larger-scale project. If you are unsure, check the outside diameter of your waste pipe: 40mm pipe measures approximately 40mm OD; 50mm pipe measures approximately 50mm OD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-callout warning\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003e⚠️ For Linear Drain Tray Formers Only\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis trap is designed specifically for use with linear drain (channel drain) wet room tray formers — where the drain runs along one end or side of the tray rather than a central point drain. It is not compatible with square point-drain tray formers, which use a different waste body geometry.

The trap body connects to the underside of the linear drain channel in the tray former and the horizontal outlet connects directly to the 50mm waste pipe run in the floor void. On timber joist floors, the outlet typically routes between joists to a stack; on concrete floors with screed, the waste pipe is laid within the screed bed before the tray is positioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe trap must be set at the correct height relative to the finished tray surface during installation — the linear drain channel height is determined by the tile thickness that will be applied over the tray surface. Once the tray former is bedded and the installation is tiled, the trap position is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Always follow the tray former manufacturer's installation guidance for setting the waste\/trap height before bedding the tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-callout\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003e🔧 Key Installation Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSet trap height before bedding tray — not adjustable afterwards. Ensure 50mm waste run is in place before positioning tray former. Maintain minimum 20mm\/m fall on all horizontal waste runs. Use solvent weld or push-fit joints as appropriate to your pipe specification. The perimeter joint between the tray former and surrounding floor tiles must always be finished with silicone — never grout this joint as it is a movement joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003ctable class=\"taurus-spec-table\"\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaurus 2-2 Universal Linear Waste Trap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrain Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLinear (channel) drain trap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" (50mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" (50mm) universal — solvent weld and push-fit compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutlet Direction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHorizontal (side exit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReducer Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo — full bore 50mm throughout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXPS wet room tray formers with linear (channel) drain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubstrate Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTimber joist floors and concrete screeded floors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaurus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eCan I use this trap with 40mm waste pipe by adding a reducer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes — a separate 2\"→1½\" (50mm→40mm) reducer can be fitted to the outlet of this trap to connect to 40mm waste pipework if needed.

Confirm compatibility with your specific tray former model before ordering, as different tray formers may use different drain channel lengths (typically 300mm or 600mm) and the trap body must match the drain channel specification of your tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eCan this trap be installed in a concrete floor without a screed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. On concrete subfloors, the waste pipe is typically laid in a channel cut into the concrete or within the screed bed. The trap body sits within the floor construction at the correct height relative to the tray former surface, and the horizontal outlet connects to the waste run. Ensure the concrete or screed provides adequate support for the trap body and that the outlet pipe has sufficient fall (minimum 20mm per metre) to the drainage stack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eDo I need a separate installation kit with this trap?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. The linear waste trap is the drainage component of the wet room tray former system. A separate Taurus tray former installation kit is required for the full installation, which includes Fix-KST adhesive, Pro-Seal waterproofing compound, waterproof tape, internal corner pieces, wood floor primer (for timber substrates), and associated fixings. The tray former installation kit and linear cover plate are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a linear drain and a point drain for a wet room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA point drain (square waste) collects water from a central point in the tray, requiring the floor to fall towards the centre from all four sides. A linear drain (channel drain) runs along one end or side of the tray, collecting water along its full length — the floor only needs to fall in one direction towards the drain channel. Linear drains are generally considered easier to tile over (especially with large-format tiles), give a more contemporary look, and make it simpler to achieve a fall towards the drain with standard floor tiling methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-infobox\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Important Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e This trap is for linear drain tray formers only — not compatible with square point-drain trays. Both inlet and outlet connections are 2\" (50mm); a separate reducer is needed to connect to 40mm (1½\") waste pipework. Trap height must be set correctly before bedding the tray former — it cannot be adjusted after installation. The linear drain cover plate, tray former installation kit, tray former, and waste pipework are all sold separately. Always maintain a silicone movement joint at the perimeter of the tray former — do not grout.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taurus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63545921274205,"sku":"TW540005","price":53.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/2051\/3629\/files\/TaurusUniversalLinearWasteTrapTosuitLinearWasteWetroomTrayFormers_tw540005.jpg?v=1771752454"},{"product_id":"taurus-wet-room-linear-tray-former-30mm-level-access-xps-tileable-multiple-sizes-end-drain","title":"Taurus Wet Room Linear Tray Former | 30mm Level Access | XPS Tileable | Multiple Sizes | End Drain","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .taurus-desc * { box-sizing: border-box;

Rather than sitting on adjustable legs, the former is bedded directly into the floor build-up on top of the overboarded subfloor, so the finished tiled surface sits level with the surrounding bathroom floor.

On the offset drain variant (LT341609), the 600mm channel is set inset from one end and the tray surface falls from both sides towards it — so the maximum fall distance is roughly half the tray length. The offset variant creates a gentler, more distributed gradient that can be easier to tile with large-format tiles and reduces visible slope when viewed along the floor. However, the offset drain requires the waste pipe to exit along a long side edge rather than at the end wall, which affects installation planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWhy is the offset drain only available on the 1600×900 and 1800×900 sizes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn shorter trays (up to 1400mm), a full-length fall to an end drain is manageable and works well in most alcove installations. On longer trays of 1600mm and 1800mm, the fall distance to an end drain becomes steeper and more noticeable underfoot, and harder to tile evenly with large-format porcelain or stone. The offset drain position was designed specifically for these longer trays to distribute the fall more evenly across the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eDo I need to overboard my floor before installing this tray former?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn timber joist floors, yes — overboarding is essential. The subfloor must be flat to within ±3mm over 2 metres and completely rigid. Overboard with 18mm plywood or 10mm Taurus tile backer board. On concrete floors, overboarding is not always required but the floor must still be flat, sound, and free from movement. Taurus recommend 10mm tile backer board on all floor types as best practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eCan this tray former be cut down if my wet room space is slightly smaller than a standard size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. The tray can be trimmed with a hand saw to reduce length and width. Taurus advise removing no more than 80mm from any single edge to avoid compromising the foam's structural zone or surface integrity near the edge. Always dry-fit first and mark cut lines carefully. When trimming length, check that the cut does not bring the new end closer than is practical to the drain channel position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWhat tile thickness can be used on this tray former?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eStandard ceramic and porcelain tiles up to approximately 20mm thick are suitable. The waste trap height must be set at installation to account for both tile thickness and adhesive bed depth so the finished tile surface finishes flush with the drain channel cover plate. Most tile and adhesive combinations total between 10mm and 18mm. Confirm your tile and adhesive thickness with your tiler before setting the trap during tray bedding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eDo I need to apply a waterproof membrane to the tray surface before tiling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe XPS core is inherently waterproof but all joints, edges, and the tray-to-wall perimeter must be sealed with Pro-Seal compound and waterproof tape before tiling. These junction zones are where water can penetrate and must be thoroughly treated. The tray surface itself does not require a separate waterproofing membrane — tile directly to the cementitious coating using flexible adhesive once all joints are sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eCan this tray former be installed on a concrete floor without overboarding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes, provided the concrete floor is flat (±3mm over 2m), fully cured, sound, and free from movement, contamination, or rising damp. Wood floor primer is not required on concrete. Apply Fix-KST directly to the concrete as a full bed using a notched trowel, then lower the tray into position. Any unevenness or soft spots in the concrete must be remedied before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-infobox\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Important Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tray former only — installation kit, waste trap, and drain cover plate are all sold separately and required to complete installation. Confirm drain position (end or offset) and waste pipe routing before ordering — the fall is factory-formed and cannot be changed on site. For offset drain variants (LT341609, LT341809) the waste pipe exits along a long side edge, not at the end wall. Always full-bed with Fix-KST (not spot-bedded). Apply wood floor primer on all timber subfloors before bedding. Set waste trap height before bedding — cannot be adjusted after. Perimeter joint between tray tiles and wall tiles must be silicone, never grout.

Rather than a visible metal grille, this cover holds a cut-to-fit tile in a 10mm-deep channel — so the same tile used on the wet room floor can be continued directly over the drain, creating a seamless, uninterrupted floor finish. It fits the 600mm linear drain cut-out in Taurus wet room tray formers and is designed for tile and adhesive combinations between 8mm and 25mm in total thickness, making it suitable for standard ceramic and porcelain tiles up to approximately 15mm thick with a normal adhesive bed. The cover plate is 597mm long × 40mm wide overall, with a 37mm-wide internal channel that accepts the tile infill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim-box\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"val\"\u003e597\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"unit\"\u003emm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lbl\"\u003eCover Plate Length\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"val\"\u003e40\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"unit\"\u003emm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lbl\"\u003eCover Plate Width\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"val\"\u003e37\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"unit\"\u003emm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lbl\"\u003eInternal Channel Width\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"val\"\u003e10\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"unit\"\u003emm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lbl\"\u003eTile Channel Depth\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"val\"\u003e8–25\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"unit\"\u003emm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lbl\"\u003eTile + Adhesive Range\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhat Is a Tileable Drain Cover?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA standard linear drain cover plate is a visible metal strip — typically brushed stainless steel or a decorative finish — that sits over the drain channel and is seen as a design feature in its own right. A tileable drain cover takes a different approach: it provides a frame with a recessed channel into which a cut piece of the floor tile is set. When grouted in place, the tile continues seamlessly from the wet room floor into the drain channel, making the drain almost impossible to detect visually unless you are looking directly for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis finish is increasingly favoured in high-specification wet room installations where the goal is a completely uninterrupted tiled floor — particularly where large-format tiles are used and a visible metal grille would interrupt the tile pattern. The tileable cover also means the drain finish automatically matches the floor tile, regardless of the tile colour, format, or texture chosen. There is no need to coordinate a metal finish with the rest of the bathroom fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🔲 Invisible Drain — Full Tile Continuation\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 10mm-deep tile channel accepts a cut piece of the same floor tile used in the wet room.

The cover plate drops into the drain channel opening and is not fixed — it sits in position under its own weight and can be lifted for maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eMy tiles are 12mm thick — will this cover plate work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes, provided the combined tile and adhesive bed does not exceed 14mm total. A 12mm tile with a 2mm skim of adhesive (total 14mm) is at the upper limit. A 12mm tile with a normal 4–5mm adhesive bed (total 16–17mm) would exceed the maximum and require the tileable cover plate instead. Confirm your expected tile and adhesive depth with your tiler before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between this cover plate and the finishing trim — do I need both?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThey are two separate components that work together. The \u003cstrong\u003ecover plate\u003c\/strong\u003e is the removable metal strip that sits over and covers the drain channel opening itself — water passes through it and into the trap below. The \u003cstrong\u003efinishing trim\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fixed border strip that frames the perimeter of the drain channel where the tiled floor meets the channel edge, covering the raw tile cut and providing a neat colour-matched surround. The cover plate alone is fully functional; the finishing trim is an optional upgrade for a more polished appearance. If you want the full coordinated drain surround, order both in the same finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eCan I use the stainless steel cover plate with matt black shower fittings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTechnically yes — the cover plate will function perfectly regardless of finish choice. Whether the finish coordinates aesthetically is a design decision. Many designers do mix metallic tones in wet rooms, and stainless steel is a neutral finish that can work alongside darker fittings. For a fully coordinated scheme, selecting the Matt Black cover plate alongside matt black shower fittings and door hardware gives the most cohesive result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean and maintain the cover plate and drain channel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eLift the cover plate from the drain channel (no tools needed) and rinse under running water to remove hair and debris. The channel beneath can be wiped with a damp cloth. For the cover plate finish, clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth — do not use abrasive pads, wire wool, or harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the colour coating. Dry the cover plate before replacing it. Cleaning every 2–4 weeks is recommended to maintain good drainage flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-infobox\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Important Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for combined tile + adhesive thickness of 0–14mm only — for thicker tiles, use the Taurus Linear Tileable Drain Cover 600mm instead. Fits 600mm linear drain channel only — not compatible with 300mm drain channels. The finishing trim is sold separately. Cover plate is removable for maintenance — no permanent fixing required. Available in Stainless Steel, Matt Black, Matt Anthracite, and Brushed Bronze — all finishes share identical dimensions and specifications.

The trim is positioned around the drain channel opening at tile height so that the floor tiles butt up to it, concealing the cut tile edges beneath the trim flange. It is then secured — typically with adhesive — and grouted in alongside the floor tiles. The removable drain cover plate is then dropped in once tiling and grouting is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-callout warning\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003e⚠️ Tile Thickness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe finishing trim profile is designed for a \u003cstrong\u003etile thickness of 10mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Using significantly thinner tiles (e.g. 6–7mm mosaics) or thicker tiles (e.g. 15–20mm stone) may result in the trim sitting proud of or below the tile surface level, which will affect the appearance.

This listing is for the finishing trim only — the border surround that frames the drain channel. The drain cover plate (the removable metal strip over the drain opening) must be ordered separately in the same finish. Both are available in Stainless Steel, Matt Black, Matt Anthracite, and Brushed Bronze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eDo I need the finishing trim, or can I just use the cover plate on its own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe drain cover plate is fully functional on its own — water will drain correctly and the installation will perform as expected without the finishing trim. The finishing trim is an optional finishing accessory that improves the visual appearance of the drain junction. Without the trim, the edge between the floor tiles and the drain channel will be a grouted joint. With the trim, it is a clean metal border. For a standard domestic installation the trim is a nice-to-have; for a high-specification or commercial installation it significantly improves the overall quality of finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eCan the finishing trim be fitted after tiling is complete?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo — the finishing trim must be fitted during the tiling phase, as it is designed to sit at tile height with the floor tiles butting up to its outer edge. Fitting it after tiling would require removing the tiles adjacent to the drain channel, which is not practical. The trim should be positioned and secured before or as the adjacent floor tiles are set and grouted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eMy tiles are 9mm thick — will the 10mm finishing trim still work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes — a 1mm difference in tile thickness is typically within the tolerance of the trim profile and adhesive bed adjustment. With a standard flexible adhesive bed of 4–5mm, a 9mm tile on a 4mm adhesive bed gives a total height of 13mm from the tray surface to the tile face, while a 10mm tile on a 3mm adhesive bed also gives 13mm.

Unlike a traditional shower tray, the tray former is tiled over once installed, becoming completely invisible beneath the floor finish and blending seamlessly with the bathroom floor. The square waste drain produces a four-directional fall to a central or corner waste point — water flows inward from all four edges of the tray towards the drain, giving a symmetrical drainage pattern ideal for large-format tiles and open-plan wet room designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAvailable in 8 sizes ranging from 800×800mm up to 1800×900mm, each size is available with a choice of drain position — \u003cstrong\u003eCorner, Centre, or Offset\u003c\/strong\u003e — depending on the size and the layout requirements of your bathroom. Select your size and drain position using the variant selectors above. The tray former is a tray-only product; it does not include the square waste trap, installation kit, or waterproofing materials (all available separately from Taurus).\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim-bar\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"val\"\u003e30\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"unit\"\u003emm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lbl\"\u003eTray Height\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"val\"\u003e8\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"unit\"\u003esizes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lbl\"\u003eAvailable\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"val\"\u003e3\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"unit\"\u003edrain types\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lbl\"\u003eCorner \/ End \/ Centre\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"val\"\u003e42+\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"unit\"\u003el\/min\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lbl\"\u003eDrain Capacity\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-dim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"val\"\u003e16\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"unit\"\u003evariants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lbl\"\u003eTotal\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eAll Variants — Size \u0026amp; Drain Position\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eSelect your size and drain position using the Shopify variant selectors.

Existing floorboards can flex under foot load, which will stress the tile adhesive and grout over time and may crack tiles. It is strongly recommended to over-board the existing floor with 10mm Taurus tile backer board (rigid XPS or cement board) before laying the tray former. This provides a firm, moisture-resistant substrate and prevents flex. On solid concrete or screeded floors, the tray former can be bedded directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWhat size tiles work best with a centre drain tray former?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCentre drain trays have a four-directional fall from all four edges to the centre point. This means tiles will need to be cut at an angle (mitred) where they meet the diagonal fall lines — particularly on square tiles. Large-format tiles (600×600mm or larger) tend to show the fall across the tile face more visibly with a four-way fall, which some designers consider aesthetically pleasing. Smaller tiles (e.g. 300×300mm mosaics) are easier to fit around a four-way fall without complex cutting. For a simpler installation, the end drain variant (single-direction fall) is generally easier to tile and allows larger uncut tile formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eI have a 900×900mm space — should I choose corner or centre drain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe 900×900 tray former is available with corner drain only (not centre drain). For square sizes 1000×1000 and 1200×1200, both corner and centre drain options are available. The corner drain for a 900×900 tray keeps the waste pipe tucked against the wall intersection, which is typically more convenient for waste pipe routing and leaves the shower floor centre clear. If you specifically need a centre drain in a 900×900 space, this is not available in the standard Taurus range — a custom tray would be required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eCan the tray former be cut down on site?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes — the XPS tray former can be trimmed with a standard hand saw or fine-tooth jigsaw. When trimming, always take equal amounts from opposite edges to maintain the symmetry of the pre-formed falls and preserve the drain position at the correct geometric centre or corner. Never cut from one side only, as this will shift the fall angle and may cause the drain to sit off-centre or at an incorrect height relative to the tile surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"taurus-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the tray former and a full wet room kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis product is the tray former base only — the XPS foam tray with pre-formed falls and drain socket. A full Taurus wet room installation kit (sold separately) includes the tray former plus all the installation consumables: the square waste trap and grate, Fix-KST bedding adhesive, Pro-Seal waterproofing compound and primer, waterproofing tape, internal corner pieces, tile guide, notched trowel, and protective gloves. If you are buying the tray former only here, you will need to source all installation consumables separately.
