Manufacturer of laminate shower trays
As an experienced manufacturer of laminate shower trays, we offer solutions that combine exceptional durability with aesthetics. Composite materials, such as laminate, are characterised by high resistance to mechanical damage, corrosion and adverse external factors. This ensures that the shower trays retain their appearance and functionality for many years of intensive use.
We manufacture laminate shower trays tailored to different spaces and applications. They are used in both domestic bathrooms and commercial facilities. They are widely used as durable and lightweight components in:
- motorhomes,
- break rooms and sanitary facilities,
- industrial and commercial spaces.
Shower trays for motorhomes
Shower trays for motorhomes are an integral part of modern recreational vehicles, where every centimetre and every detail matters. Due to the limited space in motorhomes and the high demands of users, shower trays must meet strict quality and functional standards. The laminates used in their production ensure lightness, tightness and durability – features that are essential in vehicles travelling on different surfaces and in changing climatic conditions. A properly designed shower tray not only increases bathing comfort, but also improves the daily use of the motorhome, allowing for easy hygiene maintenance.
Advantages of laminate shower trays – lightness, durability and design flexibility
The choice of material is crucial to the quality of the final product. Shower trays for motorhomes made of polyester-glass or epoxy laminate are distinguished by their high resistance to water, detergents and mechanical damage. Their surface is smooth and easy to keep clean, yet pleasant to the touch and aesthetically finished. The low weight translates into savings in the total weight of the vehicle, which is important when designing lightweight mobile bodies. Laminate also offers almost unlimited possibilities for shaping, allowing the shower tray to have non-standard dimensions, irregular shapes or any colour to match the interior design of the vehicle. This solution is for manufacturers who value the precision and flexibility of composite technologies.
How are laminate shower trays manufactured?
The production process for laminate shower trays is based on creating a model and mould, into which layers of fibreglass and resin are then laid. Vacuum infusion, a modern method of moulding composites under negative pressure, plays a significant role in maintaining structural homogeneity and increasing strength. Thanks to this, the material is thoroughly saturated with resin and air bubbles are removed, resulting in consistent, safe and durable products. Shower trays for motorhomes manufactured in this way are not only resistant to damage, but also exceptionally aesthetic – they are perfect for premium class interiors and custom-made designs. Each component undergoes quality control, which minimises the risk of imperfections and contributes to operational reliability.
Maintenance of laminate shower trays for motorhomes – simple care, longevity
Proper care helps maintain the technical parameters and appearance of the shower tray for many seasons. Laminated surfaces are moisture resistant, but it is important to ensure they are properly maintained. Washing with mild cleaning agents does not damage the gelcoat, and regular rinsing and drying after use prevents the build-up of limescale and dirt. What else is worth knowing?
- Do not use abrasive agents – they may damage the surface structure.
- It is important to check the tightness of connections, especially after intensive use.
- Any scratches can be polished with specialised laminate polishes.
- Protection against extreme temperatures during periods of motorhome storage is recommended.
Thanks to these simple rules, motorhome shower trays retain their properties and aesthetics for a long time, without the need for costly repairs or replacement. Their durability and ease of maintenance make them ideal not only for private users, but also for motorhome rental companies and mass producers.
Custom-made shower tray designs
We understand that optimal use of space is crucial in the caravanning industry. That is why our cooperation with manufacturers often begins long before production starts. We offer support in designing custom-made shower trays for motorhomes, perfectly integrated into the specific layout of the vehicle's interior. Based on 2D documentation or 3D scans, we create precise digital models that allow for verification of ergonomics and fit. Additionally, thanks to 3D printing technology (FDM), we are able to provide physical prototypes for fitting and functional testing before the final mould is made. This process minimises the risk of costly corrections and ensures that the final product will meet the design specifications 100%.
What determines the durability of laminate shower trays?
The durability of our shower trays results from the well-thought-out, layered composite structure. The outer layer is made of high-quality sanitary gelcoat, which creates a smooth, non-porous and chemically resistant surface. It is responsible for aesthetics, ease of cleaning and a barrier protecting against water penetration and UV radiation. The structural core consists of reinforcement made of glass mats and fabrics, precisely saturated with polyester or epoxy resin. This structure ensures high rigidity and resistance to impacts and stresses arising during driving, while maintaining low weight, which is a critical parameter when balancing the permissible total weight of the vehicle.
How do we ensure repeatability in the serial production of shower trays for motorhomes?
For vehicle manufacturers engaged in mass production, repeatability and efficiency are of paramount importance. In such cases, in addition to infusion, we often recommend RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) technology. This process takes place in a hermetically sealed, two-part mould, which guarantees hundreds of identical components with consistent wall thickness and precise dimensions. Another significant advantage is the smooth gelcoat surface on both sides of the shower tray, which facilitates installation and enhances the aesthetics of the structure. The use of RTM technology enables us to deliver large batches of products in a shorter time, ensuring continuity of our partners' assembly lines.
Precise finishing of shower trays
Our role as a supplier does not end with removing the component from the mould. To maximise the efficiency of the assembly process on the motorhome manufacturer's side, we offer a wide range of finishing services. All shower trays for motorhomes are precisely formatted on CNC machining centres, ensuring perfect, repeatable external dimensions. At the customer's request, we also make mounting holes, holes for siphons or other holes, in accordance with the technical specifications provided. It is also possible to integrate special reinforcements or metal inserts into the laminate structure, which simplifies installation and increases its robustness. This translates into significant time and labour savings on our partners' production lines.
