Choosing the right shower tray is not as easy as it seems at first glance. Most often, when choosing this device, along with a shower, buyers pay special attention to the technical characteristics of the model, as well as to the presence of additional functions in the form of a jacuzzi, etc. But few people pay attention to such a component of the shower cabin as a tray.
And not only the design of the shower room, but also its durability will depend on the right choice of the pallet. So, let's figure out how to choose the right shower tray.
Choosing the optimal material. Acrylic
These pallets are the most popular not only in Russia, but all over the world. Acrylic products have gained great popularity because of their practicality and unpretentiousness in maintenance. Also, the advantage of such pallets is a strong resistance to dirt. If atip a glass of earth on the acrylic surface, after a few seconds after using the shower, all the dirt will completely go away and the shower tray will be absolutely clean.
Steel
Showers with a high metal tray are less popular. Their main advantage lies in their rapid heating. Steel products are very resistant to temperature extremes and do not deform at all. However, enameled products have a significant drawback, due to which they are less popular.
And everything lies in their increased noise, because even with a small pressure your cabin will rattle a lot. And even a soundproofed shower tray can't reduce that rumble and vibration.
Ceramics
Products made from this material are more popular than steel, because due to the special composition of the material (sanitary ware and sanitary ware), these pallets have an extended service life and less demanding personal care. However, at the slightest impact, there is a risk of cracks that are very difficult to eliminate. Therefore, installing a ceramic shower tray requires very careful operation.
Sizes
The next characteristic, which you also need to pay attention to, is the dimensions of the pallet. Now on sale there are goods of the most various forms and configurations. But still, many apartment owners prefer ergonomic models with a beveled corner, which allow rational use of bathroom space. This iscan be both rectangular and square options. As for the sizes themselves, it is worth highlighting the range from 70x70 to 120x120 centimeters.
It is these products that save space and at the same time allow a person to wash as conveniently and comfortably as possible. The depth of the tray also affects the overall functionality of the shower enclosure. In terms of dimensions, there are shallow (height 1 centimeter), which are installed flush with the floor, as well as deep models with a height of up to 18 centimeters. The latter option is best installed in homes with a weak sewer network.
So, we have considered all the criteria for choosing a shower tray. Now you can safely make your choice.
