Choosing the perfect shower tray is an important task for which it is advisable to take into account some key aspects such as its material, design, texture and colour. At Poalgi, we have been manufacturing this product for more than 30 years, using resistant and safe materials, and paying careful attention to the functionality of its design.

In this guide we gather our experience and provide you with everything you should take into account when choosing the ideal shower tray for your bathroom. It is divided into two parts: the attributes and differences between our two materials, and the properties and characteristics of our shower tray models.

Know the differences between our materials

Trusting in a quality surface is essential when choosing our shower tray, since it will accompany us every day in one of our most intimate moments. As we come into contact skin to skin, choosing materials that take care of you is an act of self-love.

Every Poalgi surface is designed to provide well-being. A principle that has led us to use two high-quality materials: our classic material of our own production, Wraitom®, and the well-known bulk material, Corian®️.

The composition of our materials:Wraitom®.

Our classic Wraitom® material is formulated with mineral fillers, high quality technical resins and a Sanitary Gel Coat surface finish. A composition that makes it an intelligent material, designed to take care of you and make your bathroom experience a moment of well-being.

Corian®. Our latest solid surface for the bathroom is the renowned Corian®, a solid material that acts like a second skin. Formulated with 2/3 natural minerals and 1/3 acrylic resin (PMMA), its homogeneous composition with no visible joints allows you to create smooth and infinite surface designs.

Technical characteristics:
Wraitom®. Our Wraitom® material creates spaces where we feel protected thanks to its double antibacterial formula that inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi and yeasts, and prevents the appearance of odours and stains. The protective layer of Gel Coat Sanitary prevents the appearance of bacteria and the Bactiblock® technology, present in its composition, acts as a highly effective natural antimicrobial source. In addition, the technology of its composition makes Wraitom® a non-slip material, resistant to chemical agents and high temperatures (130º)

Corian®. Corian® is a highly resistant material that has been subjected to exhaustive tests that demonstrate that its quality and appearance are not affected by the passage of time. The strength and stability provided by its solid structure makes it resistant to impact and chemical agents, as well as to bacteria and mould with LGA antibacterial certification. The non-slip C2 and its non-porous surface and smooth finish make it easy to clean and prevent dirt and stains from penetrating. In addition, Corian® is highly regenerative, as it is easily repairable, ensuring it looks and feels as good as it did on day one.

Colour:

Wraitom®. One of the great attractions of our Wraitom® material is its chromatic versatility. The standard colour palette includes 8 natural tones based on the main bathroom demands. However, its chromatic potential comes from the ColorPlus technology, a system that allows the customisation of the colour, that is to say, to choose the colour you want for your shower tray, whatever it is!

The mass colour of Corian® is Moon White, an elegant and neat white tone, perfect to adapt and fit in any bathroom.

Finish:

Wraitom®. The texture of our Wraitom® material is designed to provide a pleasant sensation of care and well-being. Each shower tray model has its own finish, among which we find the tender silk texture (silk), the bristling sand texture (sand) and the vibrant slate texture.

Corian®. Designed to act as a second skin, the smooth Corian® texture aspires to blend with our skin in an organic and pleasurable way.

Choosing your shower tray

Choosing the material of our shower tray is the basis of this undertaking, however, it is not the only variable to take into account. Therefore, at Poalgi we present a brief and practical guide to choose your shower tray taking into account three factors.

1. Elige el material. Como hemos explicado con anterioridad, el material es la base de cualquier plato de ducha pues determina su resistencia, seguridad y confort. Al entrar en contacto piel con piel, apostar por materiales que cuiden de nosotros es un acto de amor. Las opciones Poalgi son: Wraitom®, un material formulado a base de cargas minerales y resinas técnicas de alta calidad, y Corian®, un material macizo hecho de minerales naturales y resina acrílica.


2. Elige tu modelo. Atender al diseño de nuestros espacios es también una forma de cuidarnos. Nuestro estado de ánimo y nuestra forma de vivir se ven afectados por aquello que nos rodea, así como por la usabilidad de nuestros objetos más cotidianos. Por eso, a la hora de escoger tu plato de ducha perfecto no debes descuidar su diseño. En Poalgi disponemos de diversos diseños según su material.

3. Elige tu color. Finalmente, escoger el plato de ducha ideal es también una cuestión de color. Prestar atención a nuestros gustos y a la armonía del conjunto será esencial a la hora de escoger el color de nuestro plato. Tal y como hemos explicado con anterioridad, en Poalgi disponemos de dos materiales que se comportan de manera diferente en cuanto al color. Wraitom® dispone de 8 colores estándard (Blanco, Marfil, Perla, Albero, Humo, Concret, Tundra, Antracita), y la extraordinaria tecnología Colorplus que permite elaborar tu plato de ducha en el color que desees.
