It's not about matching the design choices or choosing the right type of shower tray. When buying a shower tray, there are many things you need to consider, such as cost, space, and materials.
A shower tray is one of the most crucial parts of a shower enclosure. It may seem simple to choose the right shower tray for your enclosure. The shape of the shower tray will dictate what type of enclosure you get. Shower trays come in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit different bathrooms. Our handy guide should help you choose the right shower tray for your bathroom.
How to Measure a Shower Tray
It is crucial to ensure that the shower tray you choose is the right size. This task will not take too long if you are simply replacing an old shower tray. Take a tape measure to measure the length and width of each side. There is another way. You can measure the space that the shower tray will take up by cutting out the dimensions on cardboard. This will help you determine if you need a different-shaped shower tray.
You will need to measure the quadrants of your shower tray if you want them to fit. You will need to calculate the radius when measuring a quadrant shower. Measure one side to get the length. Next, measure the distance from the end of the enclosure to the end.
Materials and durability
The bathroom will be used a lot over time, so it is important to choose a shower tray that is worth the investment. We stock a variety of stone-capped shower trays. This material is made of shards and resin that are then polished. The acrylic cap protects the stone core and makes the surface resistant to wear.
Shape
The shower tray's main feature is its shape. It all depends on how big your bathroom is, what space you have available and when you want to install your shower enclosure. Here are some of the most well-known shower trays.
One of the most versatile types of shower trays is square. These trays are extremely versatile and can be placed in corners, in alcoves or centrally. This type of shower tray is suitable for both traditional and modern bathroom styles.
The clever quadrant shower tray is a smart design. These shower trays are great for corners and can be used where there isn’t much space. Quadrant shower trays can be a great way to save valuable floor space. Quadrant shower trays have become increasingly popular in smaller bathrooms, such as those used for cloakrooms.
This tray is very similar to the quadrant and is an excellent candidate for corners where one side is longer than the other.
This rectangular shower tray has a large area and exudes luxury. Rectangular shower enclosures can be used in conjunction with walk-in showers. They offer a minimalistic, modern look.
Sealing your Shower Tray
It is essential to seal your shower tray properly in order to prevent water from getting underneath. The shower tray seal will stop water from getting under the tray. It is important to take time to prepare before applying sealant.
How to Seal
You should always refer to the instructions before applying any products. After this is done, you can seal the area. You should apply a uniform amount of sealant to cover the space between the tray's surface and the surface you are covering. Apply more sealant to any areas that have gaps.
After you have applied each line, you can release the pressure on your sealant applicator. Next, smoothen the sealant.
Start at the spot where the sealant was applied and work your way across the tray using a flat-edged tool. After you have finished smoothing down the sealant, there is no need for you to do it again. This could cause the sealant to crack and not stick properly. After you've done this, you should allow the sealant dry for at most 24 hours.
