Does anyone know what those pre formed polystyrene ready to cut shower bases are called????

For viewers of HGTV it's the things that Mike holmes and Bryan Baeumler use when they want to do a tiled shower. These bases are pre sloped and ideal because you can cut and fit them to whatever size your shower floor is.

A google search has proved pointless as I don't really know what i'm supposed to be calling these things, and the ones I HAVE managed to come across are in Germany, New Zealand and Australia

Surley if they promote these products on Canadian tv you should be abe to get them here but I can't find them.

Any help from a DIY'er would be awesome KTHXBAI

So far I have worked out that the shower tray is called a show receptor but cannot find what you are looking for - which is just stoopid as MH & BB always use them.

Ooh and then POOF - found them.
