When it comes to designing and specifying shower systems, understanding the various components is crucial. One such component that often sparks curiosity is the 4-sided tray. But what exactly is a 4-sided tray, and why is it an essential element in modern shower design?
Let’s dive into the details and discover why architects and designers should consider incorporating 4-sided trays into their projects.
4-Sided Trays
Upstands create a small ”lip” around the shower tray which it can either be tiled over or have an acrylic shower liner placed over. The upstand around the tray helps to create a water barrier that helps prevent water damage. Trays can have 1, 2, 3 or 4 upstands. As the name suggests, a 4-Sided Tray features four upstands around the perimeter of the tray.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Water Containment
The primary advantage of a 4-sided tray is that the upstand around the perimeter of the tray helps minimize the risk of water leakage and potential to the bathroom.
2. Versatile Design Compatibility
4-sided trays are versatile as they can be rotated in anyway so that the acrylic wall liner can be placed over the upstands.
3. Ease of Installation
Installing a 4-sided tray is relatively straightforward, thanks to its uniform shape and defined edges. This flexibility ensures a seamless integration into any bathroom layout.
4. Durability and Longevity
