Swanstone SS-4242 42x42 Alcove Shower Pan with Center Drain, Birch

The Swanstone SS-4242 is a 42x42 inch alcove shower pan engineered for standard three-wall shower enclosures. Constructed from durable Swanstone acrylic material, this pan features a center drain configuration and comes finished in Birch, a warm neutral tone that complements a variety of bathroom décor styles. The alcove format makes it ideal for retrofit installations or new construction where wall-mounted flanges provide structural support.

This shower pan is designed for direct installation into alcove spaces, with the center drain allowing water to flow toward a central point for efficient drainage. The acrylic composition provides a smooth, non-porous surface that resists staining and mildew growth, making it practical for long-term bathroom use. The Birch finish offers a classic appearance while maintaining the functional benefits of Swanstone's engineered material. Compatible with standard plumbing rough-in for 2-inch drain systems, this pan suits homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable, mid-range shower base solution for residential bathrooms.
