CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS AND INSTALLATION

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

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

• During installation, use a template to ensure the grate does not come into 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.
