The size of your shower tray will of course be determined by the size and shape of your bathroom and the space that you have allocated for the shower. Shower tray commercial sizes range in size from 80cm x 80cm to 170cm x 90cm.

Shower trays are made from many different materials, some of which include acrylic, ceramic, enameled steel, and stone resin. Acrylic types are the least expensive but they do flex, so it is recommended to get the thicker model. However shower trays made from enameled steel are tough, but can be cold under foot. Ceramic types are rigid, durable and easy to clean, but the material is heavy which may require additional weight support. Trays made from stone resin are the popular choice as these are stable, durable and come in lots of colors and shapes.

Shower trays are not only limited to squares either! You can get them in rectangular, quadrant, or in any custom designer style. Square shape is a great choice for an alcove as it can slot neatly into the space. Rectangular shape is good if you what more space and best for twin showering, and a quadrant shape is ideal for corner installations.

In your selection don’t forget to consider the warranty or guarantee. You need to choose a shower tray that states it has been tested and come with a warranty to prove that they will withstand the pressures of everyday use.
