Shower Tray

The shower tray is an essential part of the shower enclosure and should not be left as something to do at the end. It is better to buy it along with the shower enclosure so that they fit together perfectly.

Shower trays come in many shapes, sizes and materials and can be of two types – raised and sunken. Raised shower trays that have adjustable legs have space under it to hide plumbing. A sunken shower tray gives you a minimalist feel and is the only way to go for walkthrough showers.

Shower Trays can be made from:

Acrylic Shower Trays – Acrylic shower trays are lightweight and very stylish. In the past they have tended to be a bit flimsy but that has changed recently and now they are very popular as they are relatively inexpensive and easy to install.

Stone Resin Shower Trays – These are the most popular shower trays and have been around for a long time. They are strong and stable and tend to be cheaper than acrylic. They are, however, difficult to install as they fit straight to the floor, usually without feet.

Glass, Ceramic or Wood Shower Trays – Ceramic, glass or wood shower trays are also available and can provide nice looking alternatives to acrylic or stone but they can be very slippery so are not a good idea if there are children about.
