Below are some of are common questions about our products.
The base is made of composites that make it strong, lightweight, and waterproof. The finish materials are regular finish materials – ceramic and porcelain tile and mosaics, natural stone and pebble mosaics, polymer modified high-performance grout, and anodized trim - which we source from manufactures including Daltile, American Olean, Zen Paradise, Schluter, and HB Fuller.
Depending on the size and finish materials, our trays weigh between 42-90 lbs. See our Product Sheets for weight guidelines per Collection.
In some cases yes. If you are interested in purchasing a product which is not one of our standard products (standard products are those that you see on our website), you can contact us via phone or email to discuss your request for a custom product. You can let us know your requested specifications - including size, drain type and location, and finish materials – and we will let you know if we can manufacture it and what the price will be. Please note that custom products are non-returnable.
To determine what size tray you need, you can estimate the size of your shower area by measuring: the width (left to right) from stud to stud and; the depth (back to front) from stud to front of shower. This requires making holes in your current shower walls to reach the stud. If you do not know how to do this, or feel unconfident in doing so, we highly recommend you hire a professional to carry out all measurements, pre-installation checks, and any necessary remedial work.

Yes. The ceramic mosaics on our ceramic-finished trays meet or exceed the recognized standard for slip resistance in wet areas (called DCOF).
The pebble and stone mosaics on our pebble/stone-finished trays are generally not tested by their manufacturer for slip resistance. However, the pebbles/stones in these mosaics are sliced in a way that creates an abrasive surface and the joints between them are grouted with an abrasive sanded grout.
Proper maintenance is crucial as improper maintenance can result in a build-up on the surface of the tile causing tile mosaics to become slippery. (Refer to our Care and Maintenance Guidelines.)
As with any raised shower tray with a front curb, our standard products are not ADA compliant. You are welcome to contact us via phone or email to discuss your request for an ADA compliant shower pan.
