There are a lot of different situations you have to consider when you’re buying a shower, and if you overlook, you might end up with a shower tray that doesn’t actually fit right in your bathroom.
So, before you start buying, make sure you take a look at this guide to find the best shower trays for your bathroom.
What is shower tray?
A shower tray is essentially a base for a shower area that helps collect the water, create a smooth base to clean and provide a pleasing visual aesthetic for your bathroom. The shower tray is an integral part of keeping water in check in your bathroom and ensuring that water doesn’t flow into unintended areas and cause damage.
Different shapes & material
Trays come in different shapes and sizes; however, most of them will have a lip that prevents the water from overflowing. They are also tapered in a specific way to ensure that the water that comes out of your shower head ends up flowing down the drain instead of pooling in other areas.
Most common shapes are square, rectangular, quadrant, and more non-traditional shapes such as P-shaped, pentagon, or D-shaped.
Tray Height
Generally, we have two options, raised and flat (slimline). Raised, or easy-to-plumb trays are also a popular option for those that want a tray that is easy to install. A raised tray has legs which allow you to adjust their height as needed. The installation for these is easy since they are adjustable but be aware that they can become a tripping hazard if they are too high.
Flat, or slimline trays are often more visually appealing as they fit seamless to the floor and have an overall flat appearance that makes them an attractive choice for walk-in showers.
Tray Material
Acrylic/ ABS
Acrylic is material that comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes while also being affordable. Acrylic is also very light which allows for easy installation, and a warmer feel.
Acrylic Capped Stone Resin
The manufacturing process for acrylic capped stone resin is much shorter than that of ceramic, and therefore it has taken the lead as the most popular tray material. Manufacturers like the shortened production time and homeowners appreciate the affordable price.
Marble
Marble is a beautiful material for shower trays, and classic marble is both exclusive and amenable to many different bathrooms. This material is also durable, and long-lasting, but may need to be refreshed with a sealer periodically.
Ceramic
Ceramic used to be the most common material at one point, and it’s an affordable option that comes in many colors. This material is strain resistant and durable which makes it a good value for the price.
Measuring Tips
When measuring, keep in mind the amount of clearance that your shower enclosure or doors might need in order to open and close properly. For sliding doors, the clearance will be minimal, but for doors that open outwards a considerable amount of space might be needed.
Also, consider the overall space in your bathroom and decide how much room you want to dedicate to a shower enclosure and doors. For smaller areas, there are sliding doors and smaller door options available, but if you have a larger space, you may choose another option for a more luxurious feel.
And finally
Remember to choose correct accessories for your shower tray, you may want to install drains with easy dirt trap, some drain provide option to easy remove and clean hair blockage
