Rectangular shower trays

Besco rectangular shower trays – a touch of luxury in your bathroom

Choosing a rectangular shower tray is a step towards maximum functionality. It is the ideal solution for bathrooms where the shower area is intended to be not just a place for hygiene, but also a home spa. The larger bathing area allows for the free use of rain shower heads and concealed fittings, ensuring the user unlimited comfort. Besco shower trays fit perfectly with modern trends, offering both classic white and nature-inspired finishes.

Materials and technology: Choose SMC or Sanitary Acrylic

Besco offers shower trays made from two technologically advanced materials, each with its own unique advantages:

• SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound): A modern composite with exceptional resistance to impact and scratches. Shower trays made using this technology often feature a natural stone texture, giving them a luxurious, matt finish. They are extremely lightweight, rigid and resistant to moisture and bathroom chemicals.
• Sanitary Acrylic: A tried-and-tested, highly regarded solution. Besco acrylic is naturally warm to the touch, which significantly enhances the comfort of stepping into the shower. It has a smooth surface with antibacterial properties, which is extremely easy to keep clean and resistant to discolouration.

Modern design and flush-to-floor installation

Contemporary bathroom architecture strives for minimalism, and Besco’s rectangular shower trays perfectly embody this vision:

• Ultra-low profiles: Models with a low rim look exceptionally elegant and modern. They allow for installation directly onto tiles or – a real design highlight – flush with the floor.
• Threshold-free effect: Installation flush with the floor creates a seamless transition between the dry and wet zones, which visually enlarges the bathroom and eliminates architectural barriers, making it easier for older people and children to use the shower.
• A wide range of sizes: From compact 100x80 cm models, ideal for smaller recesses, to impressive 120x90 cm and larger sizes, designed for spacious shower enclosures and walk-in walls.

Advantages of Besco rectangular shower trays

• Freedom of movement: A larger usable area offers a level of comfort that a standard square shower tray cannot provide.
• Safety: The non-slip properties of the materials (SMC and acrylic) protect against falls on wet surfaces.
• Aesthetics: Minimalist lines and modern finishes (gloss or stone texture) suit any interior style.
• Durability: Resistance to daily use, weight and water temperature guarantees a long-lasting investment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is a rectangular SMC shower tray more difficult to maintain than an acrylic one?

SMC stone-effect shower trays, despite their porous texture, are designed so that dirt does not penetrate deep into the material. Standard, mild cleaning products are sufficient for cleaning them. Acrylic, on the other hand, thanks to its perfectly smooth surface, allows soap scum to be removed instantly with a single cloth.

Which trap is best for an ultra-thin rectangular shower tray?

For low-profile models, we recommend using high-capacity traps that are cleaned from above. This allows the drain to remain fully clear without having to dismantle the shower tray. For floor-level installation, ensure that the trap’s height allows it to be concealed within the ceiling or the floor’s insulation layers.

Do I need to buy a dedicated Besco shower enclosure for a rectangular shower tray?

Besco rectangular shower trays have standard market dimensions, which means they are compatible with most rectangular shower enclosures available on the market. However, to achieve perfect watertightness and aesthetic consistency (e.g. the same shade of white or matching corner radii), we always recommend choosing a Besco shower enclosure.
