Shower tray recs?

Featured Replies

Any shower tray recs? I've sourced these 2 and my shower is going to be a Mira so would it beneficial to combine it with the Mira tray or is it all much the same? 

 

For what it's worth, a top left drain would be useful to me and save a 45° bend in my run which can only be a good thing but is the Mira worth the hassle and 100 more notes. I liked the Mira with the central hidden drain as well but I would prefer to add my own McAlpine and that one was some custom specific job.

I was going to get the McAlpine 53mm low profile job with the actual metal grill. Think I trust that more than the "bundled with" specialist jobbie of the central hidden Mira (attached). Also means id have to raise the tray. Pros and cons I guess.

"Trust" ? Water goes down the hole, gravity is your friend ;) 

 

I'd be drilling the joists vs top-notching anyways, so the pipe can be lower.

I don't have the joist depth to drill I'm afraid so it's notching, which I am within limits of, or raising.

 

So is essentially what tray is "less shit" than the others with a standard drain.
