Asymmetric shower trays

Besco asymmetric shower trays – a creative approach to your bathroom

In modern interior design, there is an increasing move away from standard, symmetrical solutions in favour of forms that better respond to specific architectural conditions. Besco asymmetrical shower trays are designed for those who wish to create a spacious shower area where traditional square or semi-circular models might restrict freedom of movement. By extending one of the sides, you gain more space in the shower whilst saving space in the rest of the bathroom.

When should you opt for an asymmetric model?

Choosing an asymmetric shower tray is a decision that usually stems from a desire to improve ergonomics. It is worth choosing this solution when:

• You have a narrow but long bathroom: The asymmetrical design allows for the installation of a larger shower enclosure that won’t block the passage to the washbasin or toilet.
• You are looking for a unique design: The shower tray’s unconventional lines give the interior a modern, almost avant-garde character.
• You want to replace a bath with a shower: Larger models perfectly fill the recesses left by old baths, offering comfort comparable to a bath in a home spa.
• You need more space: The elongated shape gives you much greater freedom of movement whilst showering than in a standard 80x80 cm shower tray.

Sanitary acrylic – durability and comfort for years to come

All Besco asymmetric shower trays are made from high-quality sanitary acrylic. This material has dominated the bathroom fittings industry for years due to its unique physical properties. By choosing our product, you can be sure that:

• The surface will stay warm: Acrylic is an excellent heat insulator, making stepping into the shower a pleasant experience even on chilly mornings.
• Cleaning will be a breeze: The perfectly smooth, non-porous surface prevents the build-up of rust, limescale and soap scum.
• The product will retain its shine: Our acrylic is UV-resistant, meaning the shower tray won’t yellow over time and will retain its snow-white colour.
• You’ll be safe: Acrylic’s natural anti-slip properties enhance stability whilst bathing, which is crucial for children and the elderly.

Left or right version? How to make the right choice

When buying an asymmetric shower tray, it is essential to determine its orientation. At Besco, we offer models in both left- and right-hand versions to allow installation in any corner of the bathroom. How do you check this?

• Left-hand version: These are suitable if the longer side of the shower tray is adjacent to the wall on your left when viewed from the front of the planned shower area.
• Right-hand version: These are ideal when the corner designated for the shower requires the longer side to be on the right-hand side.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are Besco asymmetric shower trays more difficult to install?

Absolutely not. The installation of an asymmetrical shower tray is identical to that of standard models. Thanks to the precise profiling of the edges, the product fits perfectly against the wall, which facilitates a watertight finish with silicone.

Which trap should I choose for an asymmetric shower tray?

Most of our models have a standard 90 mm diameter drain hole. It is worth choosing a high-capacity trap to ensure water drains efficiently, even when using shower panels with numerous jets or rain shower heads.

Will any shower enclosure fit an asymmetric shower tray?

Asymmetric shower trays should be paired with dedicated asymmetrical shower enclosures of the same dimensions and curve radius. We encourage you to explore the range of Besco shower enclosures, which are fully compatible with our shower trays, guaranteeing 100% watertightness.

Is acrylic scratch-resistant?

Sanitary acrylic is a very durable material, but you should avoid scrubbing it with hard brushes. Should minor scratches appear, Besco acrylic can be easily polished using dedicated polishing compounds, restoring it to its original appearance.
