Understanding SlipGrip Technology
The textured floor surface found on this SlimLine shower base works much like a specialized tread on outdoor footwear, providing microscopic friction points that grip your feet as water flows over them. Unlike aftermarket mats that trap moisture and require constant scrubbing, this integrated texture is molded directly into the high-gloss acrylic material during manufacturing. It maintains the sleek visual appeal of the white finish while significantly increasing underfoot traction, ensuring a secure grip with every step you take.
Installation Guide
Ensure the subfloor is completely level, clean, and structurally sound prior to setting the acrylic base.
Verify the exact center drain alignment against the provided technical drawings before final placement.
Use a standard 2 inch compression fitted drain assembly to connect the shower base to your existing plumbing.
Professional installation is required to guarantee proper waterproofing and structural stability.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Wiping Wipe the high-gloss acrylic surface clean with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent soap film buildup.
Gentle Cleansers Use mild, non-abrasive liquid dish soap or specialized acrylic cleaners for regular maintenance.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh solvent-based chemical cleaners that can dull the glossy finish.
Stain Prevention Rinse away hair dye or bath oils immediately to keep the non-porous material looking pristine.
Dry Surface Periodically dry the tray with a soft towel to maintain its brilliant shine and prevent water spots.
