FRP Shower Base

Product Overview

SMC/FRP shower base is compression-molded from fiberglass composite material. It is widely used in hotels, apartments, prefabricated restrooms, RV restrooms and household shower rooms. Available in square, diamond corner and water-flange styles, it supports OEM/ODM customization and drawing-based production. Balancing reliable drainage performance and easy installation, it meets the requirements of most domestic and overseas bathroom projects.

Product Features

Material Performance

Integrally compression-molded of FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic) and SMC sheet molding compound. The surface is finished with anti-slip raised dots and features waterproof, acid and alkali resistance. Lightweight for convenient transportation and on-site handling. Grid reinforcing ribs and multiple mounting points on the back enhance structural support.

Multiple Styles

Square shower base: universal option for residential and hotel projects; Diamond corner base: designed for corner installation to save bathroom space; Base with water flange: equipped with tile water stop edge for convenient wall sealing; Custom irregular base: non-standard shapes available upon drawings.

Easy to Clean and Install

Dense and smooth surface for simple daily wiping. Three-step installation: position the base → connect drainage fittings → seal edges, which simplifies on-site work. Chrome-plated drainage accessories can be matched for smooth drainage.

Customization Service

Custom sizes and colors are available. OEM & ODM tooling production and custom labels are supported. The product holds ISO9001 and CE certificates. Direct factory supply for bulk engineering orders.

Bulk Supply & Export Packaging

Stackable for convenient storage and turnover of large orders. Export packing adopts wooden pallets plus thick cartons to reduce collision risks during cross-border transportation.

Production Process

Full workflow: compression molding → curing → QC inspection → packaging and delivery. We own compression molding equipment and implement in-house control from raw material forming to inspection and packing. Factory visits are welcome.

Installation Notes

Ensure the base floor is flat before installation. A full bedding support under the base is recommended to avoid partial suspension and uneven stress;

Seal drainage joints properly;

Neutral sealant is recommended for gaps between the base and walls;

Steel wool and abrasive hard cleaners are prohibited. Neutral cleaners are suggested for maintenance.

FAQ

Q1: Can non-standard sizes be made for this shower base?

A: Yes. Non-standard sizes and irregular shapes are supported via ODM tooling based on customer drawings. Some standard sizes are in stock. The lead time for custom products will be evaluated against drawings. Please send drawings to our sales team for lead time and quotation.

Q2: What is the function of the reinforcing structure on the back?

A: The grid ribs together with multiple mounting points improve the overall rigidity of the base. Nevertheless, full bedding support underneath is still required; partial suspension is not allowed to reduce deformation risks.

Q3: Is the product acid and alkali resistant? Suitable for hotels and prefabricated projects?

A: FRP/SMC material features acid and alkali resistance and fits hotels, apartments, prefabricated restrooms and RV applications. Samples can be provided for bulk orders to verify appearance and texture.

Q4: Is installation complicated? What site conditions are required?

A: Installation consists of three simple steps: positioning, drainage connection and sealing. Prerequisites: flat base floor with full bedding support instead of spot adhesive fixing only. Drain pipe size shall match the outlet of the base and joints shall be well sealed.

Q5: Can you handle export orders? What is the packing method?

A: Bulk export orders are acceptable. Export packing uses wooden pallets and protective cartons; products can be stacked. Custom printed labels are available and certification documents can be supplied upon request.

Q6: How to clean and maintain it daily? What should be avoided?

A: Wipe the surface with a soft cloth and neutral cleaner. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the surface gel coat. Inspect the drain outlet and surrounding sealant regularly; re-seal when the sealant ages.

Q7: What causes water leakage of the base?

A: Leakage mainly arises from poor sealing of drainage joints, aged sealant between the base and walls, or deformation caused by suspended base support. Proper bedding, drainage sealing and edge sealing can effectively reduce leakage risks.

Q8: What is the difference between FRP and SMC?

A: Both are fiberglass composites. SMC is sheet molding compound molded under high pressure, ideal for mass standardized production. FRP allows more flexible custom irregular shapes. Selection can be discussed according to project budget and shape requirements.
