How to Measure Your Shower Tray
This guide covers the most commontray types. First, some general points:
- With oblong or square trays in a corner, always measure from the tile
(ignoring any trim) to the edge of the tray.
- With oblong or square trays in a recess measure tile to tile.
- If your tray has a lipped edge (sometimes called an upstand), measure
to the inside of the lip.
- All shower door sizes are based on the original tray sizes. After a tray
is fitted and walls are tiled, your final measurement is typically reduced
by 20 - 40 mm. e.g. an 800 mm square tray will typically end up at around
775mm!
- Just check your final measurement is within the doors adjustment range!
