Installation Guide
The N&C Premier Shower Deck is ideal for creating a level access wet floor with ease. As the strongest available floor
former in the UK market, accepting up to 470kg, the robust structure is manufactured using high precision moulds for
strength and durability. With a self supporting structure, N&C Premier Shower Deck can be placed directly onto
underfloor joists.
N&C Premier Linear Shower Deck is the perfect solution for use in wet rooms. With built in falls, the gradients in the
deck encourage the swift removal of waste water.

Installation
Installation
1. Place the deck in position and draw an outline around
it.
2. Cut away floorboards within this area. Screeded or
Concrete floors should have the area removed to allow
the deck to be flush with the remainder of the room and
for the gulley to fit deeper into the floor.
3. Make sure the deck rests flat on the joists. Add
support if necessary to ensure the deck sits flat. Ensure
the floor joists have minimum 400mm centres. If not, add
more support by screwing 4” x 2” timbers to the
underside of the floorboards with extra noggins
according to BS 5268 and to BS 6178 if using joist
hangers. The perimeter of the deck must be supported
by minimum 4” x 2” joists so that no part of the deck is
overhanging (support with extra 4” x 2” noggins if
necessary).
Ensure there are minimum 400mm x 400mm centres at
this overhanging point so the perimeter is fixed and solid
so there is no movement.
For the Linear shower deck, noggins or structural
supports need to be added to the joists by adding 4” x
2” timber noggins and supports as per BS 5268 and to
BS 6178 if using joist hangers. Timber noggins and
supports are required to add extra support for the
channel around its perimeter and the perimeter of the
gulley hole. Ensure the supports cover the rebate of the
hole to accept the screws. Ensure that the supports are
flush with the hole and are not proud. For additional
information see Phlexiline gulley instructions on how to
install.
4. Mark the exact position where the drain will be and fix
the waste pipe into position so the trap can be slotted
into place upon completion. Cut a hole for connecting
the waste pipe to the gulley outlet. Keep the piece from
this hole, as you will need it to make good after the gulley
outlet is connected. Do not cut into any joists unless
necessary. Before cutting into any joists, you must
consult with a structural engineer and refer to joist
regulations BS 5268 and to BS 6178 if using joist
hangers.
5. Using a spirit level check that the joists are level. The
joists and floor must be made sound and secure
according to BS 5268 and for BS 6178 if using joist
hangers. If there is still movement, do not install. Once
the joists are level, lay out the deck into position on the
floor.
6. With the shower deck placed in position, using a
masonry drill make pilot holes through the edge of the
deck in the countersunk holes to the timber below. Using
a slightly wider masonry drill bit, bore a few millimetres
into the holes so the screws can be placed into the unit.
7. Fit the appropriate shower gulley to the deck for sheet
flooring (read on until step 14) or for a tiled installation,
see steps 13 - 19.
8. Fix the deck onto the floor. Do not over tighten the
screws.
9. Attach the gulley outlet to the waste pipe with
appropriate coupling, not supplied.
10. Ensure the floor is flush with the deck, it may be
necessary to add a layer of plywood/tile backer board
sealed with an appropriate sealant.
11. Lay a continuous sheet of vinyl over the floor and use
the Phlexiknife to cut a perfect circle over the gulley.
12. Fix this into position using the clamping ring.
13. Nicobond wet room self-adhesive tanking
sheet/tapes/ tanking system and Nicobond wet room
waterproofing membrane system should be used when
tiling the
shower area and room.
14. When fixing ceramic /porcelain tiles lightly sand the
surface of the Premier Shower Deck with the abrasive
paper supplied within the packaging and remove excess
dust first. Then cover the whole premier shower deck
with Nicobond Wet Room Self Adhesive Tanking sheet
and tapes ensuring that you overlap the deck/subfloor
joints, also ensuring it is clamped in securely to the
clamping ring of the gulley or if using the linear gulley
over the deck/gulley joint up to the linear grate where
possible.
15. Clean off any excess dust from the surface of the
Nicobond Wet Room Self Adhesive Tanking sheet and
tapes before using Nicobond Rapidflex adhesive to fix
tiles to the surface. Nicobond Starlike waterproof grout
should then be applied for a complete waterproof
solution.
16. Tiled Floors. Using the same Phleximax gulley, a tile
grate 155mm should be centred above this and fixed
into position. Tiling should begin from this tile edge
outwards.
17. Large format tiles should be enveloped cut or
mosaics can be used.
18. Ensure the Nicobond Rapidflex tile adhesive and
Starlike grout used to fix the tiles has fully cured before
the end user uses the shower.
19. Hand these instructions to the end user after
installation is finished.
