Overview

A 48 by 36 inch shower base is a rectangular shower floor, or pan, that forms the bottom of a mid-size shower. The extra length over a square base adds elbow room, and it shines in bathrooms with a wider wall to build against.

Sizing & placement

It measures 48 inches wide by 36 inches deep and 4 inches tall. The 48-inch length gives room for a bench or seat at one end; keep at least 24 inches of clear floor in front of the entry for getting in and out.

Where it works

Primary bathrooms, en suites, and walk-in showers; suits modern and transitional designs.
