No guys , The mira flights are sand and cement 5-1 . Not recommended to use tile adhesive on these.

dont see why as anything better than what they recommend silicone 😀 and tbh hadn't had one call back due to shower tray moving, and no point in using sand and cement on wooden floors

I agree shaun , i always use flexible tile adhesive on 90% of trays, but I rang mira over this and they said sand and cement or silicone but silicone obviously wont work over the area of a large tray, to take up any low points in the floor.

Did they state any reason ?

Lol no, the last 3 trays I have done have been flights, they have hard plastic bottoms (lol) so with the right type of silicone they would stick to a ply base like s*** to a blanket.
As for the sand and cement 5-1 is a very weak mix so perhaps they need it more as a leveller than an actual adhesive, but I am only guessing tbh.
I did a flight last week and for the first time used their leg kit, ok £50.00 but a lot faster than going buying some ply ,working out heights , screwing together etc etc , loads faster, and it comes with very flexible facia panel to hide the legs .

As for the sand and cement 5

When I need to raise a try its just 3x2 and 18mm ply no working out measurements, and flat fascia board screwed to the front
I find it easier and stronger than the legs kits
