ᐅ Shower Tray or Tiled Shower Base?

Hello,

Since our builder does not charge extra whether we choose a tiled shower or a shower tray, we are now considering what to install in our children's bathroom. Is it possible to waterproof a tiled shower floor with a glass enclosure just as effectively as a shower tray (where the surface the shower enclosure rests on is level)? Do tiled showers require more cleaning on the floor? We are also wondering if a patterned glass enclosure might be easier to maintain, as limescale is less visible. A clear glass enclosure probably needs to be squeegeed after every use, which my children definitely would not do. What do you think?

Best regards,
Sabine

We have an open, tiled shower with a clear glass panel on one side. Although I’ve only used it a few times so far, I’m already very impressed. I can’t confirm the feeling of cold at all. Also, very little water splashes out. (Length 130 cm (51 inches)) The occasional drops dry immediately due to the underfloor heating. Besides, regardless of whether the shower is open or closed, tiled or a bathtub, you usually place a towel or something similar in front of the shower since your feet are always wet anyway.

We have large-format tiles and a water softening system; let’s see how easy it will be to clean.
