Trayless showers: alternative solutions for the modern bathroom

One of the most important rooms in any house or flat is the bathroom. It is usually where you unwind after a long day. To fulfil its role properly, it should be not only functional but also thoughtfully designed. An innovative solution appearing increasingly often on the interior design market is a shower enclosure without a tray.

An enclosure without a tray? A shower without an enclosure? Is that even possible?

Contrary to appearances, a bathroom fitted with a shower but without a tray can be exceptionally practical as well as visually appealing. Moreover, the latest solutions mean it can serve as both a bath and a shower, even if space is limited. Trust us, and your everyday grooming and self-care rituals will become even more enjoyable.

Modern under-tile shower trays

An innovative solution growing in popularity is the so-called under-tile trays with an integrated linear drain that carries away water while you bathe. They are relatively straightforward to install. Striking and elegant, with a contemporary design, they allow you to create a functional and distinctive bathroom because they are recessed into the floor. As a result, they are not noticeable at first glance. As they have no projecting thresholds, they also ensure user comfort and safety. For this reason, they are recommended not only to connoisseurs of beautifully designed interiors but also to older adults and people with disabilities.

Linear shower drain – innovation in drainage

An increasing number of people with trayless showers opt for a linear drain. It is another alternative for creating a modern bathroom without the traditional components of the shower area. This unconventional solution not only catches the eye of guests, but is also extremely convenient in daily use – provided the drain is cleaned regularly. Investing in this approach also lets you position the shower wherever you choose. It is ideal both for fans of innovative technologies and for older adults and people with disabilities, as most components are recessed into the floor. As in the first case, the key role here belongs to the linear drain. It should be considered right at the initial stage of the bathroom design, because full, precise waterproofing of the neighbouring walls and the entire floor is essential.

How to install a linear drain?

The innovative system concealed beneath the floor includes, among other things, a special grate that allows water to drain away. It should be installed 1 mm below the level of the tiles. A waterproofing membrane can be laid under the trap cassette to provide additional protection against flooding. The tray must also be laid to a slight fall to ensure proper drainage. Given the relatively complex construction of a linear drain, it is important that the components used for its installation offer high resistance to long-term use and to exposure to harsh chemicals. Following this rule will prevent the need to replace the entire structure prematurely.

Bath with a bath screen

The last option is to opt for a bath screen. This solution is a kind of compromise between the desire to have both a bath and a shower enclosure. Its greatest advantage is the combination of the benefits of the two technologies and its versatility. This option was created with people in mind for whom elegance and functionality are important. A bath with a bath screen is an extremely practical system, enabling household members to use their favourite form of bathing while saving space in the bathroom. Thanks to the additionally installed screen, it also lets you relax without worrying about splashing the floor.
