Shower Trays and Roman Showers

The sign of a good bathroom is the well thought out layout and planning that has gone into putting in all the furniture, and fittings. This applies to the shower enclosures chosen as well. The base of the Roman Showers enclosure needs to be sturdy and well made for there to be no problems. This base, or pan is called shower trays, and these are picked up along with the enclosures. When installing these, make sure that their size is perfect for the enclosure, else water will not flow out well and you could get hurt. The trays need to be in alignment with the shower cubicle, fitting right into it and leaving no gaps. In most homes, these trays are fitted, but a few households do put in flooring and then place the enclosures on top of it.

Before picking out the shower enclosures, make sure to sort out the shower trays as well. The size must be measured and accurate, better to compare it with that of the enclosure to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Most of these shower trays are made of stone resin or other durable material. These are the ones that can stand the water pressure, and not give in easily. They will also last long, and need little or no maintenance at all. The regular scrubbing and cleaning will keep it shining and sturdy for years to come. At times, upon insistence of the home owner, these shower trays are made of glass, or ceramic. But in such cases, be careful about usage, and don’t put too much pressure on them.

Next thing to look at is the shape of the enclosures. The shower trays need to be of the same shape and mould with the door fitted on the enclosures. Instead of trying to work at it on your own, it is best left to a professional to get it installed. The tiling on the wall, frame of the door on the shower cubicle all need to be in alignment and fit snuggly. One way of checking if it is fit correctly is to pour a glass of water, and see how it flows. If it goes straight to the drain, then the tray is fit well, else you need to make adjustments. But don’t overlook the spill over or leakage of water, as this could ruin the walls and the entire room in no time.

Since we invest quite a bit in the shower trays, get the best available, as this will keep your bathroom lively and perfect. Check with the dealer on the warranty that comes with the shower trays, and if you can, pick up extended warranty as well. It is wise to have the trays inserted a bit lower than the floor level, as this will avoid water from seeping under the door onto the bathroom floor. The drain pipe must also be fitted in the trays, and there must enough space for water to flow through, else it will stagnate.
