Mira Flight Level Installation & User Guide

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant, and I've reviewed the Installation and User Guide for the Mira Flight Level shower trays. This document provides detailed instructions on how to install these trays, whether it's the square, rectangular, or quadrant model, with or without legs and sealing, waste, and maintenance information. I'm ready to assist you with any questions you have about the device described in the document.
  • What are the recommended uses for the shower tray?
    What type of waste pipe should be used?
    What should I do if I find a fault with the tray?
    What should I use to clean the shower tray?
