Jiangsu Fashion Composite St fzst7248c-31 Shower Base

Product Description

The JIANGSU FASHION COMPOSITE ST fzst7248c-31 is a 72 x 48 inch single-threshold shower base designed for professional tile shower installations. Built from sheet molding compound (SMC) — a composite of resin, fiberglass, and stone filler — the base delivers greater impact resistance and temperature resistance than standard acrylic units. Structural ribbing on the underside supports a level, stable install over thinset mortar. The center drain position pairs with a rectangular stainless steel drain cover sized to conceal a standard 2-inch shower drain. A lightly textured slate-pattern floor surface provides slip resistance without complicating routine cleaning.

This base is suited for residential and light commercial tile shower builds where a field-trimmable, high-durability pan is required. The design allows up to 4 inches of trimming in width from either side of the drain, or up to 2 inches in depth from the drain end, without compromising structural integrity. Three 1-inch aluminum tiling flanges are included and can be secured with epoxy or 100% silicone to create a watertight transition to wall substrate. The adjustable single threshold accommodates most standard shower door configurations without cutting the base itself.

Key Features

• SMC construction — composite of resin, fiberglass, and stone filler — offers 4 times the impact resistance and 2.5 times the temperature resistance of acrylic bases
• Field trimmable: up to 4 inches in width from either side of drain, up to 2 inches in depth from drain, with no loss of structural integrity
• Includes one 80-inch trimmable add-on threshold with a 4-inch wide flat surface to seat standard shower doors
• Adjustable threshold depth accommodates up to 2.5 inches of depth adjustment without trimming the base
• Three 1-inch high aluminum tiling flanges included for epoxy or silicone attachment to wall substrate
• Lightly textured slate-pattern floor surface is slip-resistant and easy to clean
• Center drain location with rectangular stainless steel drain cover fits standard 2-inch shower drain rough-in (drain not included)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction shower base for 72 x 48 inch tile shower enclosures using a center drain rough-in. Compatible with standard 2-inch shower drain bodies and most shower door systems requiring a 4-inch threshold flat surface.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or tile contractor. Power down any in-floor heating elements before setting the base. The base must be set over a full bed of thinset mortar; verify level before drain connection and wall substrate installation. Wall substrate should be installed 0.25 inches above the aluminum flanges, then shower walls set on top of the base with silicone — do not substitute caulk products that are not 100% silicone at the base-to-wall joint. Drain is not included and must be sourced and installed separately per local plumbing code.
