Setup und Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and performance of your OVE Decors shower base. It is recommended to consult a professional plumber or contractor for installation.

Benötigte Werkzeuge und Materialien (nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten):

• Mortar mix or concrete (for base support)
• Caulking gun and waterproof sealant (silicone recommended)
• Ebene
• Maßband
• Standard-Sanitärwerkzeuge
• Schutzbrille und Handschuhe

Installationsschritte:

1. Bereiten Sie den Unterboden vor: Ensure the subfloor is clean, level, and structurally sound. Any unevenness can affect the stability and drainage of the shower base.
2. Positionieren Sie die Basis: Carefully place the shower base into the desired alcove or corner. Verify that the base fits correctly within the framed area.

3. Create a Mortar Bed: Apply a generous layer of mortar mix or concrete evenly across the subfloor where the shower base will rest. This provides solid support and prevents flexing or creaking.
4. Set the Base: Gently press the shower base into the mortar bed. Use a level to ensure the base is perfectly horizontal in all directions. Allow the mortar to cure completely as per manufacturer instructions.
5. Seal Side Flaps: The shower base features side flaps designed to prevent water leakage. Apply a waterproof sealant (caulk) along these flaps where they meet the wall studs. This creates a watertight seal between the base and the wall structure.

Wartung und Pflege

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower base, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regelmäßige Reinigung: Clean the shower base regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and a non-abrasive, mild bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, or solvents, as these can damage the acrylic surface.
• Abflussreinigung: Periodically remove the hidden drain cover and clean any hair or debris from the drain grate to prevent clogs and ensure proper water flow.
• Vermeiden Sie starke Stöße: While durable, avoid dropping heavy objects onto the shower base to prevent cracks or damage.
• Check Sealant: Inspect the sealant around the edges of the base periodically for any signs of wear or cracking. Reapply sealant as needed to maintain a watertight seal.

Fehlerbehebung

Water Pooling on Base:

If water is pooling on the shower base after use, it may indicate an issue with the initial leveling of the base or a clogged drain.

• Auf Verstopfungen prüfen: Remove the hidden drain cover and inspect the drain for any obstructions (hair, soap scum, etc.). Clear any blockages.
• Verify Leveling: If the issue persists and is significant, it might suggest the base was not perfectly level during installation. This may require professional assessment and potential re-installation.

Leaking Around Base Edges:

Leaks can occur if the sealant around the side flaps or drain is compromised.

• Inspect Sealant: Examine all caulked areas for cracks, gaps, or deterioration.
• Versiegelung erneut auftragen: Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly, then remove old sealant and apply a fresh bead of waterproof silicone sealant.
