What is the difference between a low‑profile and a raised Hydrolux shower tray, and which should you pick?

Low‑profile trays sit very close to the floor (typically 40–45mm high) so you get a sleeker, more accessible finish that works well with tiles and modern wetroom‑style bathrooms. Raised trays (around 135–140mm high) lift the drain above the floor so they're easier to connect to existing pipework or S‑traps and suit older houses or when you cannot recess plumbing. If you want a near‑flush look for a new build or tiled bathroom pick low profile; if you need easy under‑tray access to waste plumbing or have shallow joists, a raised tray is more practical.

How do the different tray materials compare and which is best for my bathroom?

Acrylic‑capped ABS trays are the most common here, lightweight, affordable and easy to cut or fit, ideal for most family bathrooms. Ducostone and acrylic‑capped stone resin options feel heavier and more solid underfoot and resist chips and yellowing better, so they're great if you want a premium finish. Stone resin or Ducostone costs more and demands firmer floor support, whereas acrylic ABS is kinder to timber floors; choose stone resin for a luxury refit and acrylic ABS for a practical, budget‑minded install.

Which shape and size should I choose to make the best use of my space?

Rectangular trays suit alcoves and walk‑in showers and come in common runs such as 1200 x 800mm, 1700 x 700mm or 1000 x 800mm, giving you a long showering area in narrow bathrooms. Quadrant and offset quadrant trays hug corners and free up floor space, with popular small sizes around 760–800mm making them ideal for en‑suites. a 760 x 760mm quadrant suits a compact en‑suite, while a 1700 x 800mm rectangular tray gives a more luxurious shower space in a family bathroom.

Most trays show the waste in the centre — what does that mean for my plumbing?

Nearly all Hydrolux trays list a centre waste position which means the drain sits centrally under the tray; this is standard and simplifies alignment with new plumbing runs. If your existing soil pipe is at the corner you'll either need a tray with a corner waste (rare) or adjust the pipework beneath a raised tray, which gives more room to manoeuvre. The trays include a high‑flow waste system to ensure fast draining, so unless your soil pipe is fixed in a corner you'll usually be fine with a centre waste.

Will a Hydrolux tray match a Hydrolux shower enclosure and how do I ensure a neat look?

Hydrolux trays are designed to be perfectly compatible with their matching Hydrolux enclosures, so buying the enclosure size that corresponds to the tray size (a 1200 x 800mm enclosure with a 1200 x 800mm tray) gives you neat lines and correct alignments. Using the same brand also helps with seal details and visual continuity, so a low‑profile white acrylic tray paired with the matching Hydrolux enclosure will give a seamless, factory‑matched finish. If you prefer a different material finish, check the tray's height and waste position to make sure the enclosure doors will close without obstruction.
