Angesen® Pre-Sloped Shower Tray System
The Ultimate Waterproof Foundation for Curbless and Traditional Showers
Perfect Slope. Zero Leaks. Install in Minutes.
Stop wasting time with messy mortar beds. Angesen® Pre-Sloped Shower Trays provide a factory-engineered 2% slope that ensures perfect drainage every time. Made from 100% waterproof high-density XPS, it’s the professional’s choice for luxury, worry-free shower installations.
Features & Advantages
I. Precision Engineered Slope
The Problem: Manual mortar sloping is time-consuming and often leads to standing water or tile cracking.
The Angesen Solution: Each tray is CNC-machined to provide a consistent 2% (1/4″ per foot) slope toward the drain. This guarantees optimal water flow and a flat surface for perfect tile adhesion.
II. 100% Waterproof & Mold-Proof
Unlike traditional “liner” systems that can trap moisture and cause smells, Angesen trays are made of closed-cell XPS foam. Even if the tile grout fails, the tray itself remains a 100% water-tight barrier.
III. Ultra-High Compressive Strength
Engineered to withstand heavy point loads. It easily supports large format porcelain tiles and wheelchairs for barrier-free (ADA) accessibility without any deflection or “spongy” feel.

Water Resistance |
100% Waterproof | Moderate | Poor |
| Closed-cell structure; prevents mold and rot. | Absorbs water, becomes heavier, and leaks. | Disintegrates and grows mold when damp. | |
| Installation Speed | Very Fast | Slow | Moderate |
| Cut with a utility knife; ready for tiling immediately. | Requires power cutters; creates heavy dust and mess. | Requires joint taping and drying time. | |
| Insulation (R-Value) | Excellent (0.034 W/m·K) | Poor | Poor |
| Acts as a thermal break for underfloor heating. | No insulation properties; high heat loss. | Low thermal resistance. | |
| Compressive Strength | High (≥300 kPa) | Very High | Low |
| Rigid substrate for heavy-duty floors. | Strong but brittle. | Susceptible to indentation. | |
| Bond Strength | 0.5 – 1.0 MPa | 0.3 – 0.6 MPa | < 0.3 MPa |
| Superior adhesion for large format tiles. | Standard adhesion levels. | Risk of tile delamination. |
