SHOWER TRAYS - Merlyn commission various shower trays but they are not all the same quality or specification - we purchase all our trays direct from the original tray manufacturers and can therefore offer a full range of products from the basic stone resin tray through to the new minimalist acrylcast and ultracast trays. We strongly recommend that you choose a superior quality tray with your Merlyn shower - Although some stone resin trays mention a long guarantee- some as long as 50 years, in reality this applies only to the structure not the surface. The surface of a basic stone resin tray is only a gel coat and therefore cannot be guaranteed more than 12 months. The acrylcast and ultracst trays are guaranteed for at least 20 years - including the surface- CHOOSE WISELY.

The new ULTRACAST/Acrylcast stone resin shower trays.

Up until now you had a limited choice of trays - contract stone resin or full spec stone resin. The contract shower tray commonly offered by the DIY/WAREHOUSE suppliers is a crude mixture and is therefore quite inferior to the full spec mix - we only offer the full spec tray.

The other alternatives such as cast acrylic reinforced - Carronite - or the very basic plastic/acrylic shower tray have severe limitation in quality, life and rigidity or in the case of the Carronite simply not enough choice for todays market.

We now have the answer - THE NEW ULTRACAST STONE RESIN SHOWER TRAY WITH ABS/ACRYLIC CAP.

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Even the best - full spec - stone resin shower tray only has a gel coat surface which is 0.8mm thick. This surface wears quickly and dulls easily and is easily damaged (although repair kits are available for damage). Luckily, with a shower tray as opposed to a bath, there is very little direct application of hot water so the life expectancy is around 10 years. Although a few stone resin manufacturers offer a 25 year warranty this applies only to the structure not the surface. The new ULTRACAST stone resin tray has the strength and rigidity of the original stone resin full spec tray but now has a THICK ACRYLIC/ABS MOULDED CAP The benefits are enormous:-

  • EASY TO KEEP CLEAN
  • ALL CLEANING MATERIALS ARE FORMULATED FOR ACRYLIC
  • GREAT STRENGTH
  • NO TENDENCY TO CHIP AT THE EDGES
  • SCRATCHES ARE EASILY REMOVED
  • EXCELLENT RESISTANCE TO IMPACT DAMAGE
  • KEEPS ITS LOOK FOR MANY YEARS
  • 25 YEAR TRAY AND SURFACE WARRANTY

consider this carefully when you make your selection - the standard offer includes a full spec stone resin tray but for a small charge you can upgrade to the Ultracast tray.

 

ALL EASI PLUMB TRAYS (sometimes called Merlin) with adjustable legs ARE NOW ONLY SOLD IN THE ULTRACAST/Acrylcast FORMAT - if you need the facility of a stone resin height adjustable tray with detachable panels you now also have the superb benefit of this excellent new tray. The Easi Plumb/ Merlin style tray is available in most sizes. You also now have the opportunity to select a branded UltraCast tray from Just Trays. Same ultracast construction as above. Guarantee is the same for branded or own brand trays.

NEW LOW PROFILE ICI ACRYLIC LUCITE 65MM ACRYLIC TRAYS - FROM SCHULTE OF GERMANY
We strongly recommend these trays for any Series 7 Shower enclosures - especially Quadrant enclosures. These trays are produced to within ±2mm and therefore offer more accurate installation for frameless enclosures which have less adjustment than normal enclosures. ALL ACRYLIC TRAYS MUST BE PLACED ON A PERFECTLY FLAT LEVEL FLOOR

 Most enclosures now have this option - if not please email for up to date availability

 

SOME SIZES ARE NOW ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE NEW 35 AND 40MM MINIMALIST ACRYLCAST STONE RESIN TRAYS - GO TO THE MINIMALIST AND WET ROOM SITES TO SEE THESE NEW OPTIONS

 

BEWARE OF SOME VERY CHEAP QUALITY MINIMALIST TRAYS ON THE MARKET - THESE ARE NOT ABS/ACRYLIC CAPPED

 

ALSO BEWARE OF THE VERY CHEAP MADE TO MEASURE TRAYS - USUALLY GRP BUT SOME ARE VERY CHEAP STONE RESIN WITH AN EXCEPTIONALLY SHORT LIFE SPAN - THE ONLY QUALITY MTM TRAY IS CORIAN - VERY VERY EXPENSIVE
