ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a shower base including a floor, a drain formed in the center thereof and a low water retaining wall extending along at least a portion of the floor of the shower base. The water retaining wall includes an inclined insert formed of polyvinyl chloride. The inclined insert includes an inner wall adapted to be positioned adjacent the floor of the shower, an outer wall removed therefrom and an upper surface extending therebetween. The upper surface forms an angle of greater than 90.degree. with the inner wall and an angle of less than 90.degree. with the outer wall. Accordingly, the upper surface is inclined downwardly in the direction of the floor of the shower and, therefore, water forming about the upper surface of the water retaining wall is directed to the drain formed in the floor of the shower base.
