• Featherlight & Easy Install: Anodized aluminum is significantly lighter than 304 or 316 steel, making this 6ft custom drain easier to handle, level, and install on-site, saving labor time.
• Made to Measure Precision: Lauxes Grates custom linear drains are precision-fabricated from lightweight aluminum, ensuring highly accurate length cuts and seamless tile insert integration for a perfect fit.

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS AND INSTALLATION

For ease of cutting Custom grates, we recommend using a compound miter saw fitted with a multi-material cutting blade 80 tooth or more. We also recommend using a Custom TCT hole saw to drill the hole for the waste outlet.

1. Cut the bottom tray 1/8” (3mm) shorter than desired length to allow end caps to be fitted.
2. Cut the top grate 1/32” (1mm) shorter than the bottom tray to allow for easy roll-in of top grate and tidy fit.
3. Using a suitable size Custom hole saw for your waste outlet, drill out the hole at the required position to align with the waste pipe in the floor.
4. Insert the end caps into bottom tray and secure with a bead of silicone on the outside of tray.
5. Place silicone around the lip of the waste outlet and secure to the underside of bottom tray at the recently drilled hole.

• During installation use a template to ensure the grate does not come in contact with any wet cement based products.
• Regular, gentle cleaning with soapy water is recommended. Do not use abrasive cloths or acidic chemicals on the grates.
• When gluing tile, use a neutral cure silicone.
