How to Choose a Shower Base
Shower bases are a convenient alternative to a tiled shower floor; they provide quick and easy installation, and because there is no grout, they are just as effortless to keep clean. Shower bases provide high-functionality and require minimal effort to install.
If a shower base is for you, then there are only a couple of factors to consider to find the perfect choice for your needs: the style and the material of the base.
Shower Base Style
Like shower screens, shower bases come in an array of shapes and styles. Therefore, the base needs to match the size and shape of the shower screen. You will find our range of shower bases match our range of shower screens, but they are also standard sizes to match other brands.
Square 900mm x 900mm shower bases are the most common. However, there are also rectangle shower bases for larger screens and curved shower bases for corner shower screens. Match the shower base to the screen style and shape to find the right pairing.
Shower bases may also have a non-self-supporting shower base or a self-supporting shower base. Those that are non-self-supporting need the additional support of a mortar bed, which makes self-supporting shower base a more convenient option for many.
Shower Base Material
Matching a base to a screen isn’t the only factor to consider. Not all shower bases are the same; they are manufactured from a variety of materials, which also should be considered.
Shower bases are commonly made from acrylic, or a composite such as polymarble, bulk moulding compound (BMC), and sheet moulding compound (SMC). Such materials ensure there are no joins, and provide high-durability for longevity. They are also very easy to clean and provide a low-profile design.
