The Size & Shape of Shower Trays
First, take look at what at the size and shape of your current shower tray? Your new Shower tray needs to fit into the same space. We at Bathroom Store Ireland, with years of experience, have seen that people are buying some beautifully designed shower trays which can't be fitted in their bathroom without major refurbishing of the whole bathroom.
There are various sizes of the shower trays ranging from 700-1400mm in width and 800-1800mm in length. When it comes to height, they go from 25mm to 40mm.
"We always recommend to our buyers to consider the shower trays of 1000mm in width and minimum of 1000mm in-depth because they provide more comfort. We understand It is not always possible to have a bigger shower tray."
Shower Drain
A shower drain is one of the most important parts of your shower trays. Depending on what side the shower drain is placed on will determine how easy it will be to fit a new shower tray or if you are going to need a major refurbish of your bathroom. Yes, some shower trays can be turned around so the shower drain can be easily fit in the perfect place but there are always shower trays that have a specific front face and back face so it can't be turned around.
How to save
If you pay attention to Size, Shape, and the Shower Drain while buying a new shower tray you can save a significant amount of both time and money. So make sure to adjust your preferences to your shower requirements.
