Shower tray with a drain directly in the floor

Walk-in shower gives freedom in arranging the bathroom space. It is easy to find a shower tray with dimensions corresponding to the space we want to devote to it, moreover, if our wet room has niches or bevels, or non-standard dimensions, creating such a shower tray is the most feasible.

The fact is that the non-threshold shower tray requires more effort during installation due to tiling not only the entire bathroom surface, but also a shower area with slopes and it is also necessary to carefully install the water drainage system. Despite the more difficult assembly, it is worth creating a shower, because in the future it will require less effort to maintain it. It is an ideal solution for small bathrooms and practical for older people.

Above all, you should realise that it is not possible to make a walk-in shower in every situation. The drainage pipe and the pipe system need to be placed under the floor surface, which requires a floor reduction of amount 120-150 mm in relation to the target floor plane.

Drain or shower tray with integrated drain?

When installing a standard linear or point drain, you need to make a screed layer, prepare suitable slopes for proper drainage and make a waterproofing layer for the floor. All these activities require professionalism and special diligence in performance.

The shower tray has a built-in drain and created slopes in its direction. The slopes can be quadrilateral or one-way and the drain can be linear or point. It is made of a very light foam xps, which provides high pressure resistance, is completely waterproof and has high sound insulation. It is compatible with electric underfloor heating. Before installation, make sure that the tray will be supported on the whole surface.

In the Wetrooms Design online store you will find shower trays that can be cut and manufacture a custom size tailored to each bathroom.

What is worth paying attention to when choosing the right system is the content of the offered set. Good quality drains or shower trays have a reliable siphon with a highwater collection capacity. They also allow easy access for periodic cleaning. Avoid drains and trays with a dubious siphon and sealing accessories included in the set.
