Shower trays, also called shower bases or shower pans, are known to be used in shower enclosures but they can also be used with shower curtains. They vary in size, from compact square shapes to spacious rectangular model. When choosing your shower tray, be sure to measure your shower first. How much space you have available is a main factor.

Shower trays are not always made by the same company or manufacturer as the shower enclosure and to make sure the two are compatible together, it¡¯s best to get them from the same company or manufacturer or just make sure they are compatible. Shower trays can be made from a variety of materials such as acrylic, glass, stone resin, fire clay, and foam filled. The most popular seems to be resin bonded stone. Shower trays come in a variety of different sizes and configurations. You should take into account the plug hole, positions, left hand, and right hand etc.

Trays made of stone resin come with a flat base for easy installation on a floor or flat surface. You can get some that come with adjustable legs. Acrylic shower trays are made from the same materials as bathtubs and are designed with a solid board for reinforcement. The glossy finish that can be found on some acrylic trays makes them more pricey than usual. They are known to outlast resin trays made of stone as well. You can also find trays made from steel or ceramic but are not too common as the price is high.

You can find that some trays have stands on a few sides. The stands can have tile over them and it has to be square to prevent protruding tiles. This creates a watertight seal to prevent water from leaking in.

You can find trays in a variety of colors such as white, pink, blue, green and many more. What color you get depends on what your personal styles and preferences are.
