The advantage of this variant lies in the flexibility in design - whether large tiles, mosaic or natural stone, the tiled shower area can be perfectly adapted to the rest of the bathroom or deliberately set apart from it.

While you may be able to install a shower tray yourself, we recommend having a professional install a tiled shower floor so that a professionalsealingThis prevents water damage.

This solution is a bit more complex to install, but offers a very high-quality and modern result.

Variant 3: Sloping screed with gutter

Another variant is thesloped screed with an integrated drainage channelThe shower area is formed by a special screed with a slight gradient, which is intended to drain the water towards the channel. This solution offers the greatest design freedom and enables an absolutelyseamlessShower, as the channel is elegantly integrated into the floor.

Sloping screed is particularly robust and durable, but requirescareful planning and executionto ensure optimal water drainage and sealing. It is therefore particularly suitable for new buildings and major renovations.
