Shower Tray FAQs

Before we get into our best selling shower trays. Here are a couple of frequently asked questions to aid you in your search for the perfect tray for you.

What are shower trays made of?

Shower trays are often composed of enamelled steel, acrylic, or stone resin, and are available in solid or acrylic capped versions.

Steel is highly popular right now, especially in Europe. The hard-wearing enamel coating provides a beautiful, long-lasting surface. This resists scratches and other damage.

Stone-resin is a resistant composite material manufactured by combining powdered stone and minerals. As well as an adhesive to create a composite structure that is extremely strong. Acrylic-capped stone resin shower trays are extremely heavy and sturdy. Making them ideal for installation between joists to avoid bowing or flexing.

Some companies make pure stone one-piece resin trays with no acrylic outer covering. Which features a naturally slip-resistant surface that feels great underfoot. Their smooth stone appearance is incredibly appealing. They are an excellent choice for modern minimalist bathroom decor.

An acrylic shower tray resembles an acrylic capped stone resin tray in look. Yet, it is significantly lighter and less expensive. Modern acrylic trays are absolutely safe for everyday use. There is no risk of the tray snapping or shattering. But, you may feel the tray bend slightly under heavy loads if there is no direct support beneath it. When installing on a solid floor that will not flex, these trays are ideal.

What size shower tray do I need?

Take the guidance of a professional. The size of the tray and enclosure you’ll need will be determined by your installer. Typically, the shower tray is just broader than the enclosure to allow for tiling.

If at all possible, design the proposed arrangement on the floor to get a better feel of where everything will go and whether it will work.
