Whether you are planning to renovate your bathroom or build it new, you should take the time to get information about the latest technologies and materials available. This will help you to create a space dedicated to your well-being that meets all your requirements. The available space for the shower and its users will largely determine the choice of a shower tray.

TYPES OF SHOWER TRAYS
Two main criteria have to be considered to choose which type of shower tray you need, i.e. the positioning of the shower waste and the extent of work you are prepared to do. Generally speaking, the more the shower tray installation will be flush with the floor, the more it will be technically demanding.

Since complete bathroom renovations in households take place on average every 20 years, it may be worth investing in a flush installation even if you don't currently have mobility problems. For the elderly and those with reduced mobility, the question does not even arise. This choice may even prove judicious if you plan to sell your house because it adds value to your home at resale.
When installing a shower tray, it is essential to respect a minimum slope of 1% towards the shower drain so that the water drains easily.
WHICH MATERIALS TO CHOOSE?
Contact between your bare feet and the floor significantly affects the overall impression of showering. Therefore, it is worth having a glimpse of the advantages and disadvantages of shower trays materials:
Acrylic
This material is available in a wide range of colours and its low weight makes it suitable for all types of flooring. Its smooth surface makes it easy to clean, but it remains sensitive to scratches.
Enamelled Steel
It has a particularly hard, smooth and scratch-resistant surface, which makes it easy to clean. However, the surface can easily flake off if, for example, a heavy or sharp object falls on it. Also, the material is cold at first and only slowly adjusts to the water temperature. Since the grounding of this material is essential, it is advisable to consult a specialist when installing it.
Mineral Casting
Acrylic or synthetic resin and natural minerals are poured into moulds. Depending on the mineral used, the moulded parts have different names such as Quaryl, Corian, Duralight, Ceramilus, Cristalplant or Duralmond. The advantages are a warm, easy-to-clean, low-noise and non-slip surface. However, this material is not as scratch-resistant as other materials and is sensitive to heat and chemicals such as hair dyes.
Sanitary Ceramic
Also known as glazed stoneware, this material is one of the most widely used. Its sturdiness, affordable price, resistance to scratch, chemicals and dyes make it very popular. Offered in a wide range of colours, it is also well appreciated by manufacturers. However, before choosing this material for your shower tray, you should check whether your floor can support its high weight.
Natural Stone
Shower trays made of natural stones such as granite, slate and marble are very aesthetic and unique. They are impact and scratch-resistant. However, these trays are cold to the touch, heavy and not all of them have good resistance to chemicals. Therefore, you must absolutely follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
SHAPES OF SHOWER TRAYS
Ideally, the shape and size of the shower should take into account the configuration of your bathroom while offering you maximum comfort. The five most common shapes of shower trays are as follows:
✔ |
Rectangular: |
✔ |
Square: |
✔ |
Quarter circle: |
✔ |
Pentagonal: |
