There are many styles and designs of a shower base to choose from including the geometric designs of square, rectangular, curved and angled styles. Even if the shower consists of a corner stall there is a base model to accommodate your needs. Most bases today also incorporate a non-slip surface as a safety measure to help prevent accidents in the bathroom shower. In addition, they are available in a wide variety of different colors to complement the rest of the bathroom décor. The construction of your shower base can be acrylic, polymarble, glass ceramic or steel. The cheapest and most common bases are acrylic due to their light and durable structure and inexpensive cost.
