Guide For Installing A Shower Tray And Shower Enclosure

As per the space availability and budget, you can choose a shower enclosure and shower tray from the numerous options available in market

. Shower trays are available in square, rectangular and quadrant shapes for corner units with coinciding shower enclosures to ensure conformity in the bathroom.

A shower tray made from acrylic and filled with heavy weight stone cast resin is a good choice to go with. They are not only durable but are also free from shrinkage and cracking problems. They offer you a skid resistance base and also provide ample standing space when you are showering.

The way of water drainage from the shower tray should be taken into account at the design stage only as commonly the shower tray sits at floor level that means the waste hole will be recessed. If you want to make the installation less labor intensive, you should either take an advice from a professional or hire a contractor to install the primary plumbing.

Before starting the installation of the shower tray, it is always advised to fit the shower tray first before purchasing the shower enclosure as tiles and sealants may change the size of the shower tray.

Never comprise value and quality when it comes to sealing the shower tray. It is extremely crucial to use a watertight sealant around the shower tray. Improper application of silicone sealant may cause your shower to leak causing extensive water damage in the bathroom.

Based on the fact that where your shower is located, water can seep through the floor, destroying the ceiling to the room located below the shower unit that could lead to expensive repairs.

Once you have installed the shower tray, you may choose a matching shower enclosure. Now-a-days frame less glass designs are very famous among the shower enclosures. Before choosing a shower enclosure, ensure that you have taken proper measurements to allow the additional height of the shower tray in order to balance out with ceiling space. This is very essential in case you have a low ceiling.

Checking the enclosure for any kind of leaks is also essential. Spay bottle testing is one of the best methods for testing the leaks in the shower enclosures. By spraying between the glass and the adjoining frames, you can get to know if any water leakage is present or not.
