HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST SHOWER TRAY
When choosing a shower tray, you’ll need to make sure it matches the size and shape of your shower enclosure to ensure a perfect fit and to prevent leaks. Think about which shape will best suit your bathroom too. If you have a small bathroom, it’s a good idea to choose a space saving quadrant shower tray, but for a large bathroom, you may want to choose a rectangular shower tray and combine it with a walk-in shower enclosure.
You may want to keep things clean and simple with a white shower tray, or create a natural, feel with a slate effect shower tray, so think about the overall look you want to achieve.
What type of bathroom floor do you have? This will determine how you can install your shower tray. You may need to raise your shower tray off the floor with a leg set to make plumbing easier on a concrete floor. But if the floor is suitable, the tray can be fitted directly on top for a neater, more streamlined finish.
SHOWER TRAY SHAPES AND SIZES
Shower trays come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit your chosen shower enclosure. Here are the main shower tray shapes and the sizes that they are available in.
Rectangular shower trays
Rectangular shower trays offer the most space and are used with sliding shower doors or walk-in showers. At BigBathroomShop you can find rectangular trays ranging in size from 900x700mm to 1700x900mm.
Square shower trays
Square shower trays are a versatile option as they can be used with a range of shower doors such as pivot and bi-fold, making this shape ideal for smaller bathrooms and en-suites. We have square shower trays ranging in size from 760x760mm to 1000x1000mm.
Quadrant shower trays
Quadrant shower trays feature a curved front and fit into the corner of the bathroom helping to maximise space – these range in size from 800x800mm to 1000x1000mm. There’s also offset quadrant shower trays, which feature one side longer than the other – sizes range from 900x760mm to 1200x900mm.
Walk in shower trays
Walk in shower trays are designed to be teamed with a walk in shower enclosure. They feature a spacious showering area at one end, with the other end used for drying off, as well as a low profile design for easier access. Large shower trays like these are rectangular in shape and are available in a range of sizes. You can also choose between white and slate effect finishes to create your perfect bathroom look.
