The best fit for a shower tray and screen project depends on whether you need a shower base, a glass enclosure component, or accessories for a bathtub. The Findepot shower pan is the clearest choice for a low-entry shower base, while the HAUUXUEN pivot tub screen is designed for bathtub showering. The glass hinge may suit a compatible glass installation. The two acrylic caddies are bath accessories, not shower trays or screens, so consider them only if you also want to organize a tub.

Findepot 60 x 36-Inch SMC Shower Pan
Best for: A low-entry shower renovation where a 60-by-36-inch base and reversible end drain suit the planned layout. The Findepot pan is made from SMC, has a reinforced grid base, and is designed for installation with a thin mortar bed.
Its stated height is one inch when floor-mounted; the product description says recessing it into the subfloor can leave a 1/8-inch transition. Three aluminum water-retaining strips are included, with installation described as optional. The pan supports one-, two-, or three-wall configurations.
Why it was selected: This is the list’s most direct match for the “shower tray” part of the search. Limitation: The product is a shower pan, not a screen, and the finished entry height depends on installation and floor conditions. Confirm drain placement and project dimensions before choosing it.
HAUUXUEN Pivot Tub Shower Screen
Best for: A bathtub alcove that needs a door for showering. The listed size is 40 inches wide by 59 inches high. Its dual-opening design combines a 180-degree pivot with a sliding mode, giving users two ways to access the tub.
The product description specifies clear, 3/16-inch tempered glass with a nano coating on both sides, intended to help repel water and reduce soap-scum buildup. It also describes a smooth rolling system and a chrome finish.
Why it was selected: It is the clearest screen option in the supplied list and is designed for a bathtub rather than a standalone shower pan. Limitation: Its listed dimensions may not suit every tub alcove. Measure the opening and check the installation requirements before purchase.
Frameless Glass 180-Degree Hinge
Best for: A glass project that needs a hinge compatible with glass from 5 to 12 mm thick. This chrome zinc-alloy hinge is described as opening 180 degrees and as suitable for certain sink, shower-tray screen, shelf, or mirror applications.
Why it was selected: It is the only listed hardware component that may support a custom glass screen installation. The product description also mentions a screw-secured clamp and a chrome slit feature.
Limitation: This is a hinge, not a complete screen or enclosure. Confirm the glass thickness, mounting surface, and intended installation with the project supplier; the listing does not provide a full screen system.
onannos Expandable Acrylic Bathtub Tray
Best for: Someone seeking a bathtub organizer alongside a shower renovation, rather than a shower tray or screen. The acrylic caddy extends from 22.2 to 31.5 inches and folds to 11 inches for storage. Its features include drainage slots, silicone grips, and a phone or tablet holder.
Why it was selected: It is a bathroom accessory from the supplied product list and may be useful for organizing items during a bath. Limitation: It rests across a bathtub and does not function as a shower base, enclosure, or screen. Check tub width and fit before use.
YOCOMEY Expandable Bath Caddy
Best for: A tub owner who wants a foldable surface for bath-time items. The caddy extends to 31.5 inches from a 22.2-inch starting length and folds to 11 inches. The listed design includes holders for a tablet or wine glass.
Why it was selected: It is another listed bathroom product that complements a bathtub setup, though it is not a core shower tray or screen choice. Limitation: The features describe a bath organizer rather than waterproof shower hardware. Confirm that the extended width fits the tub.
Buying Guide: How To Choose A Shower Tray And Screen
Do you need a shower base or a bathtub screen?
A shower tray or pan forms the floor of a shower. A screen or door controls splashing and separates the wet area from the rest of the bathroom. Decide which component your project requires before comparing products. The Findepot is a shower pan; the HAUUXUEN is a bathtub screen door. Neither replaces the other.
How should you check dimensions and layout?
Measure the shower footprint or tub alcove, including width, height, and available clearance for a swinging door. For a pan, verify its dimensions and drain position against the plumbing plan. For a screen, compare the opening measurements with the product’s listed size and account for how the door opens.
What matters for low-entry access?
Compare the installed threshold, not just the product’s stated height. The Findepot description gives a one-inch floor-mounted height and a lower transition when recessed, but the final result depends on installation. Discuss subfloor conditions, water containment, and access needs with a qualified installer.
When is glass hardware enough?
A hinge can be relevant when a project uses a separate glass panel and the hinge’s glass-thickness range and mounting method match the design. It is not a complete enclosure. Choose a complete screen or door when you need the glass, frame or fittings, and access design supplied as a system.
Are bathtub caddies shower accessories?
Not in the structural sense. The onannos and YOCOMEY products are expandable trays that rest across a tub for holding personal items. They do not serve as a shower base, screen, or door. Treat them as optional bath organizers, and check their dimensions against the tub.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a shower tray and a shower screen?
A shower tray is the base that collects and directs water. A shower screen is a panel or door that helps contain splashes and separates the shower area.
Can a bathtub screen be used with a shower pan?
The listed HAUUXUEN product is described as a bathtub screen door. The supplied information does not establish that it fits the Findepot shower pan, so confirm compatibility with the manufacturers or installer.
Does the Findepot shower pan have a zero-height entry?
No. Its description states a one-inch height when floor-mounted and a 1/8-inch transition when recessed into the subfloor. Actual installation results can vary with the project.
Are the acrylic bath caddies shower trays?
No. They are expandable bathtub organizers for holding bath items. They are not designed as shower bases or enclosure components.
What should I measure before ordering a screen?
Measure the opening width and height, check tub or wall conditions, and consider door clearance. Compare those measurements with the screen’s listed dimensions and installation requirements.
