When installing Stjärnfall, it is essential to prepare the drain correctly to ensure the best results. Start by selecting the right insert that fits your drain – Purus, Jafo, Falu, or Blycher. Make sure the drain is properly installed, meaning it should be positioned above the floor surface. Before installation, remove the water trap to ensure everything is ready for the smooth mounting of Stjärnfall. These preparations are crucial for a hassle-free installation and a perfect final result.
The slope, or gradient, of a shower floor is the gradual incline that directs water toward the drain. This is a key aspect of shower floor construction to ensure proper water flow and prevent stagnant water. To create this slope, leveling compound is commonly used.
Slope is essential! It is important for water to drain efficiently to avoid moisture-related issues. If water is not properly directed away, the risk of water damage increases. The industry standard for shower floor slope is between 7-20 mm per meter from the drain flange to the edges of the slope. However, in some cases, a steeper slope may be required, such as in barrier-free showers or with special surface materials like stone or mosaic tiles.
