Shower floor, shower base, or shower tray; call it whatever you wish, but the fact is that you have to take utmost care while choosing the material for its functionality and the wear and tear it has to bear. The shower tray is the shower's foundation and ensures that the water flows to the drain and remains confined to the wet area. The material you choose should be durable, stain-resistant, easy to maintain, cost-efficient, water-resistant, and anti-skid. Today we have curated a few of the popular materials that the bathroom designers use while designing the bathrooms. Check out the materials that meet the functionality and also adds to the aesthetics of the bathroom.

1. Concrete shower tray

Common material in traditional homes, the concrete shower tray is now popular even in modern homes. The concrete shower tray is durable, anti-skid, water and stain resistant, easy to install, and enhances the bathroom's elegance. Pair it with any tiles, stone, or choose the concrete floor all over the bathroom; it will look equally great.


2. Ceramic shower tray

Once upon a time, it used to be the most common material used for shower trays. The reason was that it is pocket-friendly, stain-resistant, and easy to clean just like the washbasin and toilet seat. The ceramic tray is durable but cracks easily if something sharp and heavy drops. Cold to touch it’s perfect for the tropical climate.


3. Acrylic shower tray

Affordable, light-weight material, quick and easy to install, and warm under the feet, the acrylic shower tray is available in lots of shapes, sizes, and designs. The material allows flexibility, and hence there is a significant risk of breakage.


4. Fiberglass shower tray

A cheaper alternative to the acrylic shower tray, the fiberglass material is very similar to the acrylic material in qualities accept that it is more brittle. Hence, it has a shorter life and less durable. It is usually protected by layers of waterproof paint, making it an ideal material to be used in the shower tray. However, the coating needs retouch since it wears off, causing leakage and looks unattractive over the period.


5. Stone resin shower tray

The mixture of natural material and resin compounds, the stone resin material is a perfect compromise between ceramic and acrylic materials for shower trays. It’s solid, durable, versatile, long-lasting, and available in various designs and styles. No wonder it has become a popular choice among modern homeowners for their contemporary bathroom.  


6. Marble shower tray

Marble is the most exquisite material used for the shower tray. Expensive, heavy, and exclusive, the marble shower tray brings glitz and glamour to the bathroom.


7. Vitrified tile shower tray
