We consulted with Christopher Hackett from Classic Marble Showers Ltd for our bathroom requirements. We must give specific mention to the SENSTEC Anti-Slip Shower Tray which has proved to be a revelation- it has a unique anti-slip feature which is invaluable from a health and safety perspective. It has an exceptionally clean, elegant finish and is luxurious to use. To view the full case study, click here.

My Parents both in the their 80s installed a SENSTEC shower tray, this gave all the family peace of mind that they would be safe and secure. The bonus is they both love it and feel very safe and enjoy the feeling under foot and appreciate how easy it is to clean.

This is a very elegant looking tray. The dimples really do give unbelievable traction and they feel amazing on the soles of your feet. You may try to make yourself slip, but you won’t!

We put in the shower tray to make sure our toddlers wouldn’t slip. It’s really safe and has amazing grip under foot. It’s also very, very comfortable and makes a shower even more enjoyable!

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a new shower fitted which would be more suitable following a hip operation. My installer recommended a Senstec Anti-Slip shower tray. I am so very pleased that I followed his advice. For the first time ever I feel confident about using the shower without an unsightly slip mat. Thank you Senstec. This is just what I wanted and I would definitely recommend the product to others.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was advised to have a Senstec anti - slip shower tray by my plumber when I converted a bathroom into a shower room. I was very pleased to do it. I am now standing on a very steady surface rather than a skating rink when I shower. Thanks very much Senstec!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We replaced shower tray with Senstec product as recommended by our local bathroom contractor. It wasn’t the cheapest but we are delighted with the outcome. It is truly non slip and easy to clean. Highly recommended.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are delighted with our Senstec shower tray. We looked at others when planning our downstairs shower room, but Senstec was head and shoulders better for its non-slip properties, ease of cleaning and aesthetics. It is a great product and I thoroughly recommend it. Our son and his young family visited and he was impressed. His 4- and 2-year olds are lively showerers and he felt they were safe and sound on the Senstec surface. This is a first class shower tray that will give great service for years to come.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

“We left the meeting wondering just what we had actually agreed to do! The bar had been set high but we kept in mind that Classic Marble (Showers) Ltd has been at the forefront of design and innovation since 1983 and that we had won numerous product innovation awards for bathroom waterproofing products within our Classi® range.”
The first challenge that we came across was the realisation that whilst EN 14527 draws attention to the potential for slipping to increase when the surface of shower trays are wet, it does not detail particular tests or technical parameters for shower trays in relation to slip resistance.As soon as we discovered this to be the case, our managing director joined the UK Slip Resistance Group, UKSRG, in order to raise awareness of this fact and to keep himself and the Classic Marble team fully up to date with changing legislation.
As a result, we found ourselves fulfilling an educational role, as well as developing a new product. Our next challenge was the actual design, so we turned to the aerospace tooling industry for help. This indicates the high level of precision engineering and expertise that the SENSTEC design required.
Our initial research led us to two methods of measuring slip resistance – the Pendulum Test and the Ramp Test, BS 7976-2:2002 and DIN 51097 respectively. We decided to test our product using both standards.
From the outset, we agreed that we should adopt an engineered solution and make the anti-slip design an integral part of the mould.
This would ensure that anti-slip properties would be built into all of our shower trays. In addition, we decided that the anti-slip profile should be made from the same material as the rest of the shower tray surface. This would mean that there would be no limitations of use.
More than three years of continuous research and development ensued and it soon became clear why no-one had yet successfully completed such a project. Prototype tool, tray manufacture, test, feedback results… Prototype tool, tray manufacture, test, feedback… the trials went on and on.
Then finally we cracked it after Prototype tool 42!
Or had we? Only rigorous testing would provide the answer.
We believe so! Here’s why:
• UKAS Laboratory tested to BS 7976-2:2002, showing best category of slip resistance possible, considering wet and soapy conditions.
• UKAS Laboratory tested to DIN 51097, showing best category of slip resistance possible, considering wet and soapy conditions.
• The anti-slip properties are an integral part of the tray manufacture, made from the same materials as the rest of the tray surface, therefore no limitations on use.
• Ulster University Study – 100% of subjects confident that they would not slip in a SENSTEC Anti-Slip Shower Tray, as well as 88% reporting a high degree of comfort when standing and moving in the SENSTEC Anti-Slip Shower Tray.
• Easily cleaned – no change required to our cleaning instructions, first introduced in 1983 for our normal shower trays.
• UK Patent No.: GB2551138 & US Patent No.: US 10,765,268
