Tray type

The shape of the tray determines its depth - the height of the side relative to the bottom.

Small. Pallets up to 90 mm depth are considered shallow. When closing the drain is quickly filled with water, so when using such products should be especially careful to watch the drain and prevent it from clogging. On the other hand, even a small child or an elderly person can easily step over a short side. These products are significantly cheaper than medium and deep, all other things being equal; in addition, small pallets are considered the most aesthetic, so many premium models belong to this type.

Medium. Pallets from 90 to 200 mm depth are considered average. In some cases, such a product represents an optimal compromise between the advantages of medium and deep pallets (cf. the corresponding paragraphs): it gives a good reserve volume in case of clogged drainage and at the same time remains relatively convenient for entering and leaving.

Deep. Pallets with a depth of 200 mm or more. One of the key advantages of such products is the ability to collect a large amount of water. This reduces the probability of «flood» if there are problems with drainage. In addition, the drain can be closed and intentionally - for example, for the use of a tray as an improvised baby bath or a washing container. Also note that many of these models are equipped...with built-in seats (cf. below). On the other hand, stepping over a high ledge can be difficult for a child or for a person experiencing leg problems.

Seat

Presence of seat in the design of tray.

This feature is found only in deep models (cf. «Type of pallet»). The seat is a characteristic area in the inner corner of the product, having a height of a couple of centimeters below the side of the pan. The size of this area may be very small, but it can still be useful for those who have difficulty standing at all times - for example, the elderly.

Siphon hole diameter

Diameter of siphon hole in tray.

This information is necessary when selecting a drain pipe for a particular product - the size of the siphon should correspond to the diameter of the hole. The standard diameters found in modern shower trays are 60 mm, 90 mm, 100 mm and 130 mm. Also note that the larger the diameter, the higher the capacity of the drain, the lower the probability of clogging.

Tray depth

The depth of the tray is the height of its side relative to the bottom. Shallow products with a closed drain quickly fill up with water, which can be a problem if the drain tends to clog; but they are easy to enter and exit. The greater depth, on the contrary, allows you to draw more water, but the high side makes it difficult to enter and exit. For more details about this, as well as about dividing the shower trays by depth, see «View pallet».

Manufacturer's warranty

The warranty period declared by the manufacturer for this model - that is, the period during which the manufacturer guarantees normal operation. The specific terms of the warranty may vary, but as a rule it applies to factory defects and faults caused by the manufacturer/seller and detected in normal use, without violating the rules.

The longer the warranty period - the more reliable is the shower tray, the higher its overall quality, other things being equal, but the more expensive it will be compared to analogues.
