One of the best solutions for getting the most usage from the floorspace of a small bathroom space is the installation of a shower tray. Unlike traditional bathtub and shower combinations, a shower tray takes up considerably less space. Its corner placement also allows better use of available wall space. Shower trays are offered in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The quadrant shower tray is one of the most popular.
What Is a Quadrant Shower Tray?
A quadrant shower tray is a corner unit that sits flush against two tiled bathroom walls. The exposed portion of the shower is curved outwards, offering more overall floor area than a traditional square shower tray. The shower mechanism is mounted onto one of the tiled shower walls and the water drains into a drain built into the bottom of the shower tray. Quadrant shower trays are offered in several sizes and are often measured in millimeters. The typical sizes are 800mm and 900mm, approximately 32 inches and 36 inches respectively, which correlate to the length of each straight side of the tray that is connected to the wall. Custom sizes can also be ordered for use in larger bathrooms, but the 800mm or 32 inch size is usually the smallest available.
Benefits of a Quadrant Shower Tray
Quadrant shower trays are ideal for smaller bathrooms when size is limited. The benefit of a quadrant tray over a standard tray is the curved outer wall gives the feeling of a much larger space within the shower, even though it doesn’t truly add that much additional floor space. The curved outer wall also makes it easier to move around within the shower, creating a more pleasant bathing experience. Since the outer wall of the quadrants shower is often transparent, it gives the bathroom a much larger appearance since the bathing area is not being visually blocked off. Quadrant shower trays are also ideal for consumers who prefer a softer look in their bathroom due to their lack of a hard corner on the outer wall.
Quadrant shower trays are a great way to effectively utilize bathroom space by getting the most usage out of the floor space available. They are offered in a variety of sizes to suit both functional needs and personal preferences.
