It is also possible to use it in on a shower tray that is already in place, and thereby adapt this element to a new decor. It is not necessary to remove the previous element so this change can be made without the need for construction work.
Additionally, it is possible to apply a finish with anti-slip properties to the surface to guarantee safety. These varnishes also have an antibacterial function which also prevents the proliferation of fungi and bacteria.
