II. HOW TO TILE THE TILEABLE GRATE AND THE 
SHOWER PAN FLOOR EDGES AROUND THE 
TRENCH RECESS: (See Fig. 2) 
1.  Insert the Tileable Drain Grate into the Trench 
Recess. 
2.  Dry fit the tiles to the shower pan floor and 
the Tileable Drain Grate. 
3.  Note Tiling Tip: Before setting tile on the 
shower pan floor and the tileable grate you 
must comply with the following: tile up to the 
edges of the recessed trench (A and B) and the 
edges of the grate (C and D) so that neither 
the shower pan floor nor the Tileable Drain 
Grate is visible, while at the same time 
insuring (i) none of the Tileable Drain Grate 
tiles extend beyond the edges of the grate, (ii) 
none of the shower pan floor tiles extend 
beyond the shower pan floor into the space 
above the recessed trench, (iii) proper 
drainage is achieved by having none of the 
tiles encroach into the drainage space 
between the tiled shower pan floor and the 
Tileable Drain Grate, and (iv) neither the floor 
tile or the grate tile will prevent the removal 
of the tiled grate from the Trench Recess. 
4.  Now, remove the Tileable Drain Grate from 
the Trench Recess and tile the shower pan 
floor. Then insert the Tileable Drain Grate into 
the Trench Recess and tile it, lining up any 
grout lines on the tiled grate with the grout 
lines on the surrounding shower pan floor tile.
