Podium Quadrant Shower Trays

Low profile trays sit at about 45mm high and give a neat, easy-step-in finish that suits modern wet-room looks and tight bathrooms, while raised trays are around 140mm high and provide space underneath for pipework and plumbing access. Both options from Podium have anti-slip surfaces and come with a high-flow waste, so safety and drainage aren't compromised. If you have existing pipework that can't be recessed, a raised tray will hide it; if you want minimal step and a sleeker look, go for the low profile.

Yes, Podium quadrant trays are designed for corner installation and come in compact sizes from 800mm to 1000mm, so they work well in small en-suites or cloakrooms. The curved front gives extra elbow room compared with a square tray while using the same corner footprint. Plus, the trays are lightweight and can be trimmed at the edges to fit slightly irregular spaces, which helps in awkward layouts.

Acrylic trays are a solid acrylic surface that feels smooth and is straightforward to maintain, while acrylic-capped ABS trays have a rigid ABS base with an acrylic top for added strength and stability. The capped ABS option tends to be very durable and resistant to flex, making it good where extra support is needed; a full-acrylic tray offers a slightly warmer feel underfoot. Both types are available in the Podium quadrant range and include anti-slip finishes.

Each Podium tray includes a high-flow shower waste designed to clear water quickly and minimise pooling, so it will cope with most modern mixer showers. For very high-pressure pumped systems, check the pump's flow rate against the waste specification, but for typical domestic showers the included high-flow waste is usually sufficient. The benefit is faster drainage and less chance of standing water after use.

Quadrant trays are made specifically for corner enclosures and pair naturally with sliding or curved doors because of their curved front edge. Sizes like 800 x 800, 900 x 900 and 1000 x 1000mm provide varying showering areas, a 900 x 900 tray, gives comfortable internal space while saving room in the rest of the bathroom. Because the trays are corner-mounted, you get more usable showering area without taking up extra central floor space.
