1400mm wide anti-slip shower trays are made for bathrooms where the shower should feel generous, stable and easy to use. The wider tray gives more room for a fixed screen or open-entry layout, while the anti-slip texture adds a more reassuring surface than a plain smooth tray. This size suits larger en-suites, main bathrooms and shower spaces designed around comfort rather than minimum footprint. The 1400mm width brings a more premium walk-in feel without needing the very longest tray sizes.
TAILS’ SIZE AND GRIP CHECK
Gain extra showering length and underfoot grip
A 1400mm anti-slip shower tray creates an elongated showering footprint with a surface intended to provide greater underfoot grip than a standard smooth tray. This generous length suits larger enclosures and walk-in arrangements, provided the selected width, waste position and textured finish work with your room and screen layout.
Is a 1400mm Anti-Slip Shower Tray Right for Your Bathroom?
Compare tray length, surface texture and enclosure compatibility
You want an elongated shower area
A 1400mm long anti-slip shower tray provides more length than compact square and rectangular formats. It can suit a spacious enclosure or walk-in screen arrangement where the room has enough uninterrupted floor area for the complete footprint.
Extra surface grip matters
The anti-slip surface is intended to improve underfoot grip during showering, although its texture and performance vary between products. Compare the individual surface description and care instructions rather than assuming every tray feels or performs identically.
Your enclosure matches the footprint
Buying the tray alongside its intended enclosure or wetroom screen makes the 1400mm length, selected width and entry arrangement easier to coordinate. Confirm the exact tray dimensions and compatible screen sizes before preparing the floor or drainage.
The room lacks sufficient length
A 1400mm tray can restrict circulation when fitted close to a toilet, vanity or doorway. A shorter shower tray may leave better access in a compact bathroom while still providing enough internal space for the intended enclosure.
The textured surface is unwanted
Anti-slip finishes can feel and look different from smoother shower-tray surfaces and may have specific cleaning requirements. A standard tray may suit you better when a more uniform surface appearance takes priority over the additional grip treatment.
The width or waste position conflicts
The 1400mm length does not confirm the tray’s width, shape or outlet location. Select another configuration when the available floor area, drainage route or enclosure design cannot accommodate the exact dimensions and waste position of the chosen model.
1400mm Anti-Slip Shower Tray FAQs
Nominal sizing, surface care and enclosure fitting explained
-
Is a 1400mm shower tray exactly 1400mm long?
The advertised measurement may be nominal rather than exact. Use the manufacturer’s stated dimensions for the precise length, width, height and edge profile, particularly when the tray must fit tightly between finished walls.
-
Does an anti-slip surface require different cleaning?
It may do. Textured surfaces can retain residue differently from smoother trays, so follow the individual manufacturer’s care guidance. Avoid abrasive tools or unsuitable chemicals that could damage the finish or affect the intended surface characteristics.
-
Will any 1400mm enclosure fit the tray?
No. The enclosure or screen must suit the tray’s exact length, width, shape and edge arrangement. Check both technical drawings and any stated adjustment ranges before installation rather than matching the products by nominal length alone.
DESIGNER’S NOTE
Use the tray’s 1400mm length to establish a strong horizontal line, pairing it with restrained screen framing and uncluttered wall finishes so the shower area remains visually balanced.
