A new shower tray has been introduced by Villeroy & Boch. The new Ecora shower tray is made from the PureBase composite material which is made from recycled granulated marble, calcium carbonate and reclaimed production surplus.
The company says the range contains around 45% less resin than conventional acrylic shower trays and is completely fibreglass-free. Residue from production process is crushed and used as a filling agent in new shower trays – a closed circuit that reduces material consumption.
At the end of its service life, the company says Ecora can be completely recycled and used as a high-quality secondary raw material in applications such as road building and the construction of high-rise buildings.
Ecora features a rimless design and a 35mm profile. An oval outlet cover is flush with the surface in the same colour as the shower tray. It has a drainage rate of around 48 litres per minute.
For additional flexibility, there are three installation options: flush-fitting in the floor, slightly raised on tiles or as a deliberately raised feature.
