The ultimate in handmade shower trays
This month, in our ongoing series of features focusing on leading British shower tray manufacturer Traymate Products Ltd. BKU’s Jonathan Swift looks at the company’s innovative product range, from the top of the range TM25 Linear and TM25 Symmetry trays, the more traditional TM25 Dome tray and the company’s patent protected TM25 Anti-slip technology, to the TM25 Union with its Union Flag design. All the products featured are handmade in the UK from 100% natural stone resin.
TM25 Linear The TM25 Linear is the ultimate modern shower tray. It offers unique and ultra-modern design to give the look of the contemporary linear wet room, but avoiding the associated fitting challenges. At only 25mm high, the product is designed
to be fitted as a normal shower tray, but flush with the floor tile for level threshold entry. The TM25 Linear incorporates more market-leading design features than any other shower tray, including virtual flat surface technology, hidden water capture and micro water flow management. When fitted flush to the floor level this creates a near-flat surface and the minimal appearance of a contemporary wet room.
Symmetry Range Linear Range However, it is the TM25 Linear waste detail
that sets this range apart from its competitors. At only 75mm wide, the waste outlet represents the narrowest aperture of any shower tray currently available. This allows for fitting of the slimmest waste grid ever offered on a shower tray, creating the stunning look of the TM25 Linear. However, it is beneath the flush fitting grid where most of the tray’s advanced technology is used. Using advanced micro water management, the water flow is directed at the correct velocity through the unit’s unique waste flange. It is then captured in a chamber before passing through the dedicated high flow vortex waste unit at over 30 litres per minute. In the TM25 Linear, water is drawn from the
surface of the tray by the vortex created within the waste unit. Unlike a traditional shower tray, the majority of water leaving the TM25 Linear is managed beneath the surface of the tray and not above it.
TM25 Symmetry Over two years in development, the unique design of the TM25 Symmetry offers symmetrical simplicity and a contemporary wet room look. Like the TM25 Linear, the Symmetry is
designed to be fitted as a normal shower tray, but flush with the floor tile for level threshold entry. The Symmetry shares design features with its sister product the TM25 Linear, including virtual
flat surface technology and hidden water capture. Shallow fall angles and minimal internal wall height combine to create a near- flat surface. When fitted flush to the floor level, this gives the stylish and minimal appearance of a contemporary wet room. The centrally located waste detail incorporates a unique flush-fitting stainless steel waste grid. Water flows through the grid and is captured in a chamber below before passing through the dedicated high flow vortex waste unit at over 30 litres per minute. In common with the TM25 Linear, water is drawn from the surface of the tray by the vortex created within the waste unit. Similarly, the majority of water leaving the TM25 Symmetry is managed beneath the surface of the tray and not above it, unlike a traditional shower tray.
TM25 Dome The TM25 Dome range offers an ultra-low profile when compared to its 40-45mm predecessors.
TM 25 Anti-slip Carefully developed over a three-year period, the TM25 Anti-slip surface is integrated into the structure of the mould. This allows it to be produced directly from the cast moulding process. Whereas many anti-slip products need to be re-applied regularly, the TM25 Anti-slip range offers a permanent lifetime guaranteed solution. When independently tested to the British
Standard 7976-2 Slip Test, the patent protected surface provided almost twice the industry standard of slip resistance (scoring 68 against the minimum BS7976-2 anti-slip pass of 35). The surface is also easy to clean which helps
prevent build-up of soap or limescale, ensuring that the tray retains its anti-slip qualities over a lifetime.

TM25 Union The inspirational TM25 UNION incorporates unique high gloss, anti-slip and matt technologies which combine together to create a stunning union flag design. Conceived to commemorate the 75th
anniversary of the Battle of Britain, each tray sold includes a donation of £10.00 to the Battle of Britain Memorial trust. This stylish 25mm high shower tray is
Dome Range Whilst incorporating some of the leading-
edge technology from the ground breaking Linear and Symmetry ranges, the TM25 Dome draws its styling from traditional shower tray design. At only 25mm high, the product is designed to be fitted with a minimal entry height of approximately 10mm from an average floor tile. While not created to be fitted entirely flush like the Linear and Symmetry ranges, it is a huge leap forward when compared to the 40- 45mm shower tray. This range is conceived for the customer who wishes to benefit from an ultra-low profile shower tray, but without the flush fitting and full wet room look of the Symmetry and Linear ranges. Trays are supplied with a unique high flow
90mm waste unit and high quality dome waste cover.
designed to be fitted as a normal shower tray but flush to the floor, again (like the Linear and Symmetry products) allowing customers to benefit from a genuine wet room alternative without the fitting challenges which can come from installing a wet room. The TM25 Union comes complete with a
stainless steel flush fitting waste cover and a unique self-cleaning vortex high flow waste unit.
