Welcome, dear reader, to the unexpected and frankly speaking, a bit of an odd land of the shower tray. You probably didn’t think it was possible to find any chance of joy in bathroom fixtures, did you? Well, the good thing is that you’re about to be pleasantly surprised and here’s how that’s going to happen. Let us introduce you to the realm of rectangles, the dominion of diamonds, and the queendom of quadrants, also simply known as shower trays.

The Rambunctious Rectangle

We can begin by talking about the good ol’ classic, the trusty steed of bathroom design. The rectangular shower tray is more for the kind of people who love a bit of elbow room while they belt out show tunes under the spray. You get more space to twirl around and the shape is ideal for moving around while doing the scrub rub dub. We won’t judge, we promise!

The Debonair Diamond

Next up is the diamond shower tray and even though you might want to pretend this shape is as rare and precious as the gemstone it’s named after, in reality, the diamond shape is for those who enjoy a bit of flair in their morning routine. With its corners pointing north, south, east, and west, it might give you the feel of a compass guiding you towards cleanliness.

The diamond shower tray is also the solution for bathrooms that may have awkward corners as it fits snugly into spaces that perhaps other trays can’t handle. Hence, if your bathroom looks like it was designed by a bit of a drunken architect, consider the diamond your savior.

The Quintessential Quadrant

Finally, we arrived at the quadrant shower tray and this one can be thought of as the sleek sports car of shower trays, a bit more compact, stylish, and perhaps even more refined. The quadrant is perhaps the perfect solution for smaller bathrooms or en-suites where space is at a premium. With its curved front, the quadrant shower tries to add a softness to the bathroom and succeeds whereas other shapes can’t.
