Are all resin shower trays the same?
There are several factors to consider when determining the quality of a resin shower tray and
not just relying on the price. A shower tray is a decorative element that will be added to our bathroom and may not be changed again, so we must take into account a series of details if we want the shower tray we have chosen to be a total success.
-
Coating treatment of the shower tray: This treatment will be very important for the maintenance and condition of the shower tray over time.
-
Gel coat: This is the most commonly used treatment for shower trays. The most economical resin shower trays are usually made of gel coat, but it is also important to note that not all gel coats are the same. If the chosen gel coat is a very simple treatment, it can lead to faster deterioration of the shower tray, and in light colors, it may yellow. Can you imagine buying a white shower tray and it starts to change color in some areas after two years? At Baño Total, the gel coat resin shower trays are of high quality, and we won't have these problems.
-
Acrylic polyurethane: This is a treatment that is also used for painting boats. Acrylic polyurethane is a higher quality treatment, and resin shower trays with acrylic polyurethane are considered “premium” shower trays.
-
Non-slip treatment: Safety while showering and having a surface with grip is very important. Therefore, it is essential to check if the shower tray has a non-slip treatment and what category of non-slip it is. The C3 rating is the highest a shower tray can have. We take this opportunity to debunk the myth that the texture of the shower tray (slate or smooth) influences grip; it is the treatment that composes it and its rating.
-
Hardness of the shower tray: The shower tray must have a hardness that does not suffer deformations or alterations with use, and therefore it must have the maximum rating, which is class 1 durability.
-
Antibacterial treatment: A hygienic place must have this treatment, surfaces where small microorganisms cannot adhere.
-
Easy cleaning: Shower trays that do not require significant maintenance and are very easy to clean. Not all are like this, and this should be reflected.
-
Equipment: For the correct installation of the shower tray, a valve and a grid will be necessary, elements that should be included with the shower tray.
At
Baño Total, we work with
gel coat shower trays and acrylic polyurethane, both of high quality. Additionally, regardless of the type of treatment,
all our shower trays have the highest ratings for non-slip treatments (C3), class 1 durability, antibacterial treatments, easy cleaning, and include valves and grids in each model.
