The flush fitting shower tray is one of the most fashionable trends in bathroom decor. The reason is simple: besides being a practical solution, it helps to give the bathroom the right style with a contemporary touch and a simplicity of design that creates a modern and functional effect. Both are perfect solutions for smaller spaces and persons with reduced mobility. But what are the pros and cons of the flush-to-floor shower tray? Let’s see advantages and disadvantages of this solution.
Pros
- Ease of use for any age – For those who share the house with children and elderly, it is crucial to have a safe and functional bathroom for all family members. In this sense, the choice of a flush-to-floor shower tray makes easier and safer the access to the showering area for people of all ages or with mobility difficulties, reducing the risk of injuring.
- It is easier to clean – Another feature that makes the choice of the flush-to-floor shower tray excellent is the ease of cleaning and maintenance. Unlike bathtubs and shower boxes, the flush surface offers fewer angles and crevices and a shape that makes cleaning easier.
- Makes the bathroom look more spacious – This design solution works particularly well in small bathrooms with spaces particularly narrow. Using a flush-to-floor covering creates a uniform surface that extends seamlessly throughout the bathroom. The flush-to-floor shower tray, therefore, ensures less visual clutter and makes space appear larger.
Cons
- Water leaks – One of the most common flaw of the floor-level shower tray is a ground-water infiltration when the shower tray is not perfectly insulated. A problem that can be easily solved with an innovative shower system like Albero.
- Difficulty of realization – Compared to the ordinary shower bases, floor-level shower tray lead to greater difficulty in installation and laying. They must be designed with care and above all laid to perfection for effective waterproofing.
- Price – As a consequence of the previous point, the installation of a flush-to-floor shower tray will certainly won’t be cheaper than the more traditional solutions.
