The modern generation of Russians is increasingly replacing traditional baths with shower trays, corners and cubicles. Perhaps this is due to the accelerated rhythm of life, when there is not enough time to rest in a hot bath. In the morning, people take a shower, rushing to work. In the evening, you want to quickly wash off the sweat, eat or go to bed after a hard day at work. Since the main sanitary ware for showering is a tray, the convenience and comfort in the bathroom depends on the right choice. Today, a wide range of shower trays from different manufacturers is presented on the domestic market. Expert advice will help you make the right choice.

How to choose a shower tray

1. Dimensions. One of the main parameters when buying a shower tray is the overall dimensions. They can fluctuate in the range of 70-130 cm. For a cramped room of 1.5-1.5 m, it is better to choose a model with a minimum size of 70-90 cm. Large products (120-130 cm) will look spectacular in a spacious bath.
2. The shape of the pallet should not only be considered in terms of design. It directly affects the occupied area. If the task is not to save bathroom space, then you can choose square or rectangular models. But the semicircular outer edge (a quarter of a circle) less “eats” the usable area of ​​a cramped bath.
3. The depth of the pallet is selected depending on the purpose of the sanitary ware. It can fluctuate from 5 to 50 cm. If the pallet is intended only for taking a shower (especially for the elderly or large people), then it is worth stopping at the smallest models (5-15 cm). When clothes are soaked in the pallet or a four-legged friend is bathing, it is better to buy deeper bowls (25-50 cm).
4. Materials. Modern cheap pallets are made from different materials. Along with traditional cast iron and steel, models of acrylic, earthenware, artificial marble, and quaril are produced. An acrylic shower tray is the best option for most buyers. It perfectly combines such qualities as price, heat retention, quietness and ease of maintenance.
5. Safety. Do not forget about safety while taking a shower. In this sense, bowls with corrugated or anti-slip bottom should be preferred.
