What is a shower pan?

A shower pan is a waterproof barrier that is installed at the base of a shower to direct water towards the drain and prevent leaks. It is typically made of materials such as acrylic, fiberglass, tile, or stone, and can be prefabricated or custom-built on site.

Shower pans come in various sizes and shapes to fit different shower configurations, and they are designed to be durable and resistant to water damage. Some shower pans feature integrated slopes to ensure proper drainage, while others may have a textured surface to prevent slipping.

Installation of a shower pan typically involves setting it in place and connecting it to the drain system. Properly installing a shower pan is important to prevent water leaks and ensure the longevity of the shower. Regular maintenance is recommended to keep the shower pan clean and functioning properly.
