To put it simply, shower bases are the floor of a shower. They can be purchased in either prefabricated or hand tiled version. Prefabricated bases are also known as shower trays or shower pans, and are the bases of choice for bathroom installations.
Pre-made shower units can be purchased in plumbing supply stores and hardware stores almost everywhere. They are usually constructed from tough long-lasting acrylic polymer and are ideal for home and commercial purposes.
An acrylic base can be shaped to fit the job on hand, from a space-efficient corner tray to a complete, fully-equipped shower unit. Its surface can be smooth or textured, with a lot of colors to choose from. When choosing one, you shoudl consider your bathroom’s design, water source and the total dimension of the shower stall.
premade shower base
Acrylic shower trays come with drain holes set to conform to any bathroom layout. Options may include a center drain, corner drain, or a side drain on the shower base. Pre-manufactured bases often have textures for added slip-proof traction. The floor is also normally sloped very slightly toward the drain hole to enable complete water drainage.
The options in acrylic shower pans include utilitarian designs to meet nearly every possible consumer demand. One model has a useful seat formed into the side. At the entryway, the shower base is almost leveled with the floor, but the adjoining shower walls are over knee level.
One side has a curved ledge where you can sit down, or prop up a leg for shaving in the shower.
A manually constructed shower pan is normally made out of mortar or grout lined over with tiles to prevent water damage. A drain should be placed in the tile, normally at the center, and the tiled area can extend up the shower walls to your desired height. A custom-made, hand-tiled shower base offers endless choices for any bathroom decorating layout.
