NEATFORM
Installation Guide
WOODEN AND CONCRETE FLOORS
WOODEN FLOORS
Preparation
1. The NEATFORM former being 22mm thick is ideal for most timber floor situations,
decide where the FORMER is to be fitted, remove the plasterboard from the wall
to allow the tray to sit flush, re-position tray & mark out on the floor. (Fig 1&2)
2. Remove the floorboards and fit noggins (supports) ensuring that the supporting area is
flat and level so the FORMER can be fully supported. (Figs 3, 4&5)
Installation
1. Place the FORMER in position and check the aperture is positioned correctly. (Fig 6)
2. Check the FORMER to ensure it is level and pack up to the required finished level
accordingly (fig 7)
3. Check position of the outlet and drill the hole as required ensuring all connections are
Secure. (Fig 8)
4. Refit the FORMER and drill through the pilot holes for securing through tray. (Fig 9)
5. Bed the FORMER onto joists using a suitable good quality silicone or foam. (fig10)
6. The FORMER can then be permanently fixed to the joists taking particular care to
ensure it is completely level across all four sides and that the remaining floor finishes
are level. (Fig 7&11)
7. Connect outlet pipe to trap ensuring a good fit is obtained. (Fig 12)
8. Apply silicon around trap, drill and secure to tray. (Fig 13&14)
9. Fill all the screw pilot holes, gaps & joints to ensure a smooth finished surface around
The edges of the FORMER. Seal with a combination of waterproof flexible liquid
tanking membrane (or "Rubber Paint") and 'Rubberised' mesh-sealing tapes as
required.

CONCRETE FLOORS
PREPARATION
The principle is the same for concrete floors as with timber floor in that it is necessary to create a recess
In the floor that will accommodate the tray.
Decide where the NEATFORM is to be fitted, & mark out on the floor, including the hole for the waste
(On new floors, fill the void with suitable material, allowing for the waste pipe & trap).
Ensure this supporting area is flat so the shower base can be fully supported.
INSTALLATION
1. Bed down the shower base completely level, to promote adhesion the underside of the tray should be
painted with a PVA bonding agent in accordance with the manufactures instructions (typical mix is 1
part water to one part PVA).
2. Positively align the NEATFORM in line, & over the drain body before the adhesive sets, take
particular care to ensure the NEATFORM is completely level across all four sides.
3. Connect outlet pipe to trap ensuring a good fit is obtained, apply silicon around trap, drill and secure
to tray.
4. Fill all the screw pilot holes, gaps & joints to ensure a smooth finished surface around
The edges of the FORMER. Seal with a combination of waterproof flexible liquid tanking membrane
(or "Rubber Paint") and 'Rubberised' mesh-sealing tapes as required. A second layer of tanking
material over the sealing tape will create a seamless & waterproof barrier, ready for floor finish.
