    Tried today for the very first time. I think it is not straight forward to fold the tape and anchor to the tray. It requires a lot of practice and roger cut the video so the swearing isn't seen. We want a conplete step by step video with bo editing! Just yo see how long it takes

    Is it recommended that waterproof backing board is used on the walls of an en-suite shower room before wet wall boards are put on, or is the backing board only needed when the walls are getting tiled ? What is the difference between a wet room and a shower room ? Even though the shower room has a shower tray and a screen, and the water doesn’t actually flood the floor, the room will still be full of condensation. A bathroom installer told me that he would be fitting the wet wall panels to gip roc, and gip roc to me, sounds like normal paper and chalk plasterboard. Am I right in thinking that this sounds a wee bitty unprofessional ?

    Hi - after about 10 years use one of the valves (on/off flow) ceased up. Tried getting a replacement but struggled to find an exact matching one... Found your video and tried flushing the part in timescale remover - wow! It worked a treat. Have it several washes in the remover and slowly eased it back and forth. Left it in the wash with the valve open, then shut, then half way, and worked it both ways between soaks. After several washes and wiping away the loosened timescale the valve is now back in and working as good as new. Thanks for the video - saved us loads of hassle... 👍

  • @opentrail
    @opentrail 4 місяці тому

    Thanks Roger. The only thing I missed from the instructions for the 820mm was fitting the siphon cam bracket. Watching you, the penny dropped and I was able to complete the install. What you call the debris plate was actually a cover plate that must be an optional extra on the 820 because I did not have that. Always a pleasure watching you Roger!

    • @AbacusManufacturingGroup
      @AbacusManufacturingGroup 8 місяців тому

      Apologies if we have misread your question but it’s a 1 ¼” thread which then connects directly to a corresponding bottle trap. It’s the latter that then connects to your regular waste pipe. Hope that helps.

    Great video, it inspired me to buy the same system. I have to shorten the shower tray by 100mm, what do I do about the tile lines? Would you mark to the original corners first before cutting? Or draw lines to the new corners? Thanks

    • @AbacusManufacturingGroup
      @AbacusManufacturingGroup 8 місяців тому

      You would need to mark the original corners as this corresponds to the manufactured fall lines.

    • @AbacusManufacturingGroup
      @AbacusManufacturingGroup 8 місяців тому

      Aside from the labour heavy option of chasing out for any pipework (taking into account falls etc) and tray it might be an idea to consider raised concept options. This is a tiled alternative to a legged acrylic tray alternative whereby the pipework can be run above floor level, so you get the modern tiled look of a wetroom without the more advanced construction requirements.

    AVOID this product at all costs. I recently purchased Abacus elements board from rubberduck and it's been a complete nightmare. The box of 10 boards arrived damaged and it looks like a forklift fork has punctured through them. I inspected the boards and two boards have a hole through them with the subsequent boards having deflection and compression in this same area. I reported this to Rubber duck and after chasing with several phone calls they have advised that Abacus are going to send out two replacement boards, I requested the whole batch be collected and replaced but they have refused and advised that Abacus have advised the remaining boards are "within tolerance" I asked what there tolerance was so I could check myself, and again, after several calls chasing this they advised that there isn't a tolerance measurement it is that they are "fit for purpose" in their opinion which presumably they can tell from a photo. Just so dishonest. The damaged areas on the subsequent boards are compressed from 12mm to around 6mm and are really fragile, I could quite easily push my finger through the boards in the damaged area and they will not stand up to any usual building loads and will split as soon as I put a screw through it. I have told this to Rubber duck however they are now ghosting me. Just an awful, horrible company to deal with. If you want a full refund they demand that you send them the items using a courier at your expense, even if they are damaged, despite the law saying the return delivery should be covered by the seller for damaged products. The boards might be good, however if there is any damage in transit or any issues they will do everything they can to avoid replacing them or helping you. Genuinely my worst ever experience as a consumer has been with this company. Save yourself the hassle and go with another product or supplier.
