The trend is moving towards floor-level showers, which can also be achieved with shower trays. You need to see whether the floor construction allows this. If necessary, the shower tray can protrude slightly from the floor. However, you can also choose a shower tray with a large inner depth - the way it used to be.
Coated shower trays offer additional safety and reduce the risk of slipping. The coating has a different name depending on the manufacturer, but the principle is the same. There are also different levels of slip resistance. If small children are in the house or if you are a little older and less stable, shower trays with particularly high slip resistance are recommended.
