Shower trays in all sizes: what are the standard sizes?
If you do not want to wade through countless variations when looking for a new shower tray, ideally take a look at the classic standard dimensions, which are offered by almost every well-known manufacturer (and of course by our own brand AcquaVapore). First and foremost, there is the 90x90 cm shower tray, which works very well in both small and larger bathrooms.
If you prefer something a little smaller or larger, you can choose a space-saving shower cabin measuring 80x80 cm or a 100x100 cm XL version instead. The pros and cons of the individual sizes are obvious: while a large shower tray gives you considerably more freedom of movement, smaller models are quicker to clean. In the end, however, the dimensions depend first and foremost on the space available in the bathroom.

What shapes of shower tray are available?
Modern shower trays now come in many different shapes that adapt to the layout of the bathroom. This means that even small or awkwardly shaped bathrooms can have a suitable model that blends in harmoniously with the room thanks to its special design. We have put together the most popular shower tray shapes for you below.
The square shower tray
The square shower tray is the standard version already mentioned above, available in sizes such as 80x80, 90x90 or 100x100. The biggest advantage of this version is that it can be fitted into the bathroom very flexibly, for example in a corner or along a wall.
The rectangular shower tray
With a rectangular shower tray, one side is longer than the other. Common sizes include 80x75, 90x75 or 90x80 cm. As the narrower side projects less far into the room than the equal sides of a square shower tray, this version is particularly suitable for narrower bathrooms.
The quarter-circle shower tray
The quarter-circle shower tray is designed specifically to fit into a corner of the bathroom and, as its name clearly suggests, has a rounded corner. Thanks to its special design, it is particularly suitable for smaller bathrooms and for anyone who likes rounded shapes. However, buyers of this type of model should bear in mind that a shower cabin with curved doors is often more expensive.
The pentagonal shower tray
The pentagonal shower tray is also suitable for installation in a corner of the bathroom and saves additional space because one corner is cut off. Its big advantage over a quarter-circle shower tray is that it can also be combined easily with classic square-shaped shower cabins.
What should you look out for when buying a shower tray?
When buying a shower tray, you should always make sure it is well made. After all, you will literally be walking all over it, so a robust and durable material is crucial. We have had particularly good experience with fibreglass-reinforced acrylic, which is why it is used in many of our high-quality shower cabins. A shower tray made of fibreglass-reinforced acrylic not only feels very pleasant underfoot thanks to its warm surface, it also keeps its original colour even after many years of use. In addition, acrylic trays are considerably cheaper to buy than enamel alternatives.
Also important:
So that the dimensions of the shower enclosure match the shower tray exactly, the enclosure is designed to be slightly smaller from the outset. Put simply, with a classic shower tray measuring 90x90 cm, the matching shower glass will only project about 88 cm from the tiled wall instead of the expected 90 cm.
