Why Consider a Square Shower Tray for Your Bathroom?

If your existing shower enclosure looks tired and dated, installing a new shower tray presents the perfect opportunity to upgrade your bathroom experience. With many sizes and shapes available, square shower trays offer a versatile choice that is suitable for both compact and generous bathrooms.

Here at Wetroomstop, we offer a wide range of shower trays for walk-in showers and wetrooms of all kinds. But why choose a square shower tray shape over other styles?

Unrivalled Versatility

One of the most appreciated features of square shower trays is their versatility in adapting to different layouts. With four equal sides, square trays can sit neatly against walls or be positioned centrally, depending on available space and plumbing locations. Their symmetrical shape makes the most of angular rooms.

Ideal for Small Bathrooms

For small bathrooms, every inch matters when designing shower spaces. Square trays maximise a small footprint by offering the largest area within a compact rectilinear silhouette.

Even snug alcoves and tight corners accommodate a square tray. The regular shape also makes squares easier to cut to size if needed without spoiling aesthetic appeal.

Provide Flexible Access

Unlike awkwardly angled pentagon or triangular trays, square trays feature four equal sides with open access from every direction. You can flexibly position doors or screens at any point while retaining easy walk-in entry.

Multiple access routes also promote accessibility for children, the elderly or mobility-impaired users navigating the shower area.

Simplify Enclosure Pairings

Complementing square shower trays with a square quadrant enclosure or neat walk-in zone couldn't be simpler. The congruent edges and footprints mean screens, walls and even ceilings sit symmetrically atop the tray base.

No awkward fillers, unusual glass cuts or gaps occur using matching quadrants or wet room elements. The harmony creates a stunning designer finish.

Enhance Style and Structure

A square shower tray isn't just a practical choice; it's a stylistic one too. Its straight lines and right angles echo the structural elements commonly found in bathrooms, like tiled walls, rectangular windows, or boxed ceilings. This harmony means a square tray naturally complements and enhances your bathroom's design.

Whether your bathroom boasts modern straight lines or has classic features like tiled patterns, a square tray fits right in. It doesn't clash with the existing design elements but rather, it subtly supports and elevates them. 

Provide Drainage Efficiency

Square shower trays effectively minimise awkward spaces around plumbing connections. The four-sided design facilitates the discreet alignment of wastes against walls, while outlet positions along the tray edges streamline pipe alignments below the floor.

The regular shape also promotes efficient gradients, preventing water pools from forming in corners after showering when tiling around square trays.
