The primary component of a corner shower unit that determines its shape and size is the shower base. Made from a variety of materials, a corner shower base is the building block needed to provide form and substance to your shower unit.
Corner Shower Base Shapes
Corner showers can be formed in a wide array of shapes to suit the space requirements of the bathroom as well as the consumers personal preferences. Square and rectangular units are the most common, but more unique shapes are beginning to gain in popularity. If the space in the bathroom is extremely limited, a triangular base can also be utilized. For consumers seeking a more unique design, a quadrant shower tray could be an option, with two long sides flush against the wall, two small side panels, and one long front panel. Shower enclosures can also be found with curved front panels, creating a more flowing effect in the bathroom. Aside from standard shapes available on the market, shower bases can be custom made in any shape possible, with as many sides as the consumer wishes.
Corner Shower Base Materials
The two most common materials for corner shower bases are acrylic and stone resin. Each material is unique in its appearance and each has their own benefits. The choice between the two materials depends primarily on budget as well as personal preference for feel and appearance. While acrylic is the more affordable option, resin stone tends to be more attractive. Both materials are very durable and will withstand years of use. While acrylic tends to have a warmer feel to it by touch, it still retains somewhat of a plastic feel as well. Stone resin, on the other hand, is slightly solder to the touch, but mimics the feel and appearance of cultured stone. Both acrylic and stone resin can be found in a variety of colors, however, acrylic tends to come in a selection of solid colors while stone resin tends to come in color combinations that present the true color mixtures of stone in nature.
Regardless of your choice of base materials or base shapes, the infinite combinations of choices guarantees that any consumer will be able to choose the exact combination of materials and designs to best suit their needs.
