Choosing the right shower tray is not such a simple task as it seems at first glance. Most often, when choosing this device together 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 shower tray.
And not only the design of the shower, but also its durability will depend on the correct choice of the pallet. So, let's figure out how to choose the right shower tray.
Choosing the best material. Acrylic
These pallets are the most popular not only in Russia, but throughout the world. Acrylic products have gained great popularity because of their practicality and unpretentiousness in maintenance. Also a plus of such pallets is their strong resistance to dirt. If the glass with the ground is knocked over to the surface of the acrylic, in a few seconds after applying the shower all the dirt will completely go away and the shower tray will be completely clean.
Steel
Less popular are showers with a high metal tray. Their main advantage is their quick heating. Steel products are very resistant to temperature extremes and from this do not deform at all. However, enameled products have a significant drawback, due to which they are less popular.
And all lies in their increased noisiness, because even with a small pressure your cabin will boom heavily. And even a shower tray with soundproofing is not able to reduce this rumble and vibration.
Ceramics
Products from this material are more popular than steel, because due to the special composition of the material (sanitary porcelain and sanitary ware), these pallets have an increased service life and less demanding personal care. However, with the smallest impact, there is a risk of cracking, which is very difficult to eliminate. Therefore, the installation of a ceramic shower tray means very careful operation.
Dimensions
The next characteristic that you also need to pay attention to is the dimensions of the pallet. Now on sale there are goods of the most diverse shapes and configurations. But still, many apartment owners prefer ergonomic models with a beveled angle that allow rational use of the bathroom space. It can be either rectangular or square options. As for the sizes themselves, it is worth highlighting the range from 70x70 to 120x120 centimeters.
It is such products that allow you to save free 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. The dimensions 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 houses with a weak sewer network.
So, we have considered all the criteria for choosing a shower tray. Now you can safely make your choice.
