Adding a new shower tray to your bathroom is easy!
Shower trays are simply the floor of the shower, also sometimes referred to as shower bases, shower pans and shower receptors. Shower trays come in two standard varieties, those of hand tiled and prefabricated. The prefabricated kind is by far the most common and popular, available in pretty much every country in the world.
Their popularity is understandable given that they are made from hard acrylic polymer, a very durable polymer which is also very practical for use in both home and work situations. As this acrylic polymer can also be moulded into almost any shape, it is therefore ideal and can come in either a smooth or a textured surface and in almost any choice of colour scheme. Individual choice will of course depend on the consumer’s taste and bathroom design.
Because these prefabricated shower trays are also incredibly simple to install, coming with drain holes that can be positioned to suit the bathroom configuration of anyone who installs it, they are far more popular than the other variety, hand tiled shower trays.
Hand tiled shower trays are, as the name suggests, shower trays which are tiled by hand, with grout or mortar lined with tile. Tiles come in stone, marble, cultured marble (which gives the look of real marble but is far cheaper and is also stain resistant) and various other materials, and there is a virtually endless list of design choices, with the relatively inexpensive cost another feature which makes it very appealing to many consumers. Bathroom suppliers such as UK Bathrooms can help you design your bathroom and help you choose the right shape and style of shower tray.
