Hi.
We want to replace our shower tray. I've been doing lots of research trying to establish which trays are best. The current tray, I think is one of the really lightweight ones, is it acrylic? I like the idea of replacing with another acrylic, because it's lightweight and im guessing easy to install. I say this because when I replaced the tray in the ensuite about 5 years ago, I seem to recall it simply glued to a plywood base. If I recall properly, it was very very flat underneath, giving it full contact across the entire area of the plywood. This to me spelled 'fully supported'. Having said all that, I was worried about installing what might be considered by some to be a not very robust tray, that may cause issues further in the future. In the end I fitted an Eastbrook Volente. I think it was a stone resin tray. It was very heavy. And I bed it on concrete. This was a faff because there wasn't enough room to swing a cat.
I have been considering the Mira Flight, because according to the instructions they can simply be glue to the base using silicone. However, they don't manufacture a tray with the hole in the center, by the front edge. Like in the image below.
I prefer this hole position, because it gives much easier access should it be required in the future.
So, can you guys recommend any good trays please.
Are the lightweight acrylic trays really that bad?
Thanks as always. Your help has been invaluable over these last week's
