What is the difference between a shower base and a shower pan?
The terms 'shower base' and 'shower pan' are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two. A shower base refers to the bottom, pre-formed part of a shower that provides the base for the shower enclosure. On the other hand, a shower pan is a term used to describe the entire unit, including the walls and the floor. In general, shower bases are designed for alcove or corner installations, while shower pans are more versatile and can be used for various shower configurations.
