AKW Low Profile Shower Tray for Level or Low Access – Choice of Size & Waste

AKW Low Profile Shower Tray for Level or Low Access – Choice of Size & Waste

At just 32mm high, the AKW Low Profile shower tray can be laid on top of the floor for a very low step-in, or recessed into the floor for full level access. Its offset waste position is designed to miss floor joists, making it one of the easiest AKW trays to fit on both timber and concrete floors. The steel-reinforced GRP tray has a textured, slip-resistant surface and carries AKW's lifetime guarantee.

Choose from 10 sizes between 1000 x 1000mm and 1800 x 820mm, supplied as a tray only or with one of four matching AKW 90mm wastes.

Choosing your Low Profile tray and waste

How to measure: measure the finished wall-to-wall width and depth of the showering area in at least two places and work from the smallest figure. The 1800mm trays can be trimmed to suit alcoves down to 1500mm.

Which waste? The Low Profile tray is designed for gravity wastes only – AKW does not recommend pumped wastes with it.

• GW90 90mm Gravity Waste (25120) – AKW's standard waste for this tray (approx. 90mm depth below the tray).
• GW90 Low Depth Gravity Waste (25404) – for shallower floor voids (approx. 60mm below the tray).
• DW90 Low Height Dry Waste (25492-UK) – a dry trap with domed cover (approx. 48mm below the tray).
• GW90 Metal Topped Gravity Waste (25434) – a metal-topped 90mm waste (approx. 53mm below the tray).

Installation notes

• For level access, recess the tray 32mm so its rim sits flush with the finished floor.
• Check the depth below the tray for your chosen waste against your joist or screed depth before ordering.
• Compatible with AKW Standard, Silverdale, Level Best and Larenco shower screens (size dependent).
