Shower cabin with a low pallet: rectangular sizes of 80, 90, 100, 120 cm, installation

The eternal question - a shower or a bath - everyone decides on the basis of personal preferences and bathroom capabilities.

Shower is considered a practical and hygienic option. When taking a shower to spend less water than with water procedures in the bathroom, the process takes less time, the dimensions of the cabin is less than the bathtub. Therefore, the shower is often chosen for limited space, public spaces. The main issue is the height of the sides of the pallet, which depends on the tasks of the washing and physical capabilities of people.

Souls with a low pallet are called models equipped with bumps not exceeding 0.5 m, for most adults this height is quite comfortable. Special requirements are made for shower cabins, if they are used by children or elderly people.

Shower cabin with a low pallet is an aesthetic and modern version with an almost flat bottom. It allows you to easily step over the edge and makes the shower convenient for use and safe.

There are other advantages of this shower:

• The designs are diverse in models, easily fit into the interior and enliven it.
• The shower is well suited for small rooms, it can be quickly installed and almost immediately applied. Some options have a podium, others do not need it. The features of the models allow them to be lightweight, collapsible, this is convenient for transportation.
• Modern souls prevent splashing of water, easy to care for. These qualities allow you to keep the room clean and reduce its humidity.
• It is convenient to follow the child during water procedures, if necessary - take care of an adult patient or an elderly person.

• The tightness of this model is always lower, but special doors or curtains can help.
• Low sides will not allow you to recruit water and bathe the baby, take a bath or use the shower to temporarily store specific foods( run live fish, soak a large veil).
• The bottom of this shower cools faster than the models with a high pallet.

Shower trays with a low pallet differ according to the materials used, their type, shape, availability of additional functions, dimensions.

The pallet is made of strong materials such as steel, cast iron, acrylic or quarls:

• Cast iron is considered not only a heavy, but also very expensive material. It keeps the heat well, but steel and acrylic cool down faster.
• The steel tray is "loud", and bends under the weight of a person.
• Many choose acrylic: it muffs the sound of falling water, is light and durable, has an additional seal, is diverse in color solutions.
• Kvaril combines the dignity of acrylic and the beauty of stone products. By individual orders, constructions are made of natural stone, marble, wood.

Frame parts made of aluminum are light and durable, they are made of dense plastic or rubberized parts and bands. And curtains and doors are made of polycarbonate, polystyrene, glass. Over time, the plastic becomes cloudy, this is its serious minus. Glass partitions are made from compacted sheets to reduce the risk of injury, for example, tempered glass.

Budget models usually do not have additional options, their design is as simple as possible. Using other functions, you can turn the shower reception into a wellness or relaxing procedure. For example, chromotherapy - color illumination, provided by strong and safe diodes. This gives an elegant look to the cabin, and can also "paint" water jets. The shower head modes allow programming the force, temperature and water supply option. Customizable options include contrast shower, tropical, steam, hydromassage.

If the dimensions of the premises permit, you can purchase a cab with a seat installed. It may well include the functions of the sauna, aroma effects, additional hood, music and even a phone. Most often, the management of such high-end devices is designed in the form of a touch screen. Therefore, they have additional requirements for tightness and electrical insulation, they not only occupy more space, but also cost more.

Souls with sliding doors are very popular, however, in the presence of space, you can afford swing doors, in the absence of - built-in shower models.

There are fully equipped closed cabins and minimal open showers, which assume that you will buy everything you need. The indoor shower has not only a pallet and walls with doors, but also a roof. The open can not have not only the top, but also the doors. They need to be completed, but they allow you to create very stylish options and play around the room.

Built-in options - it's something average: there is a pallet, plumbing, doors, but in the role of the screen are the walls of the room or its niches.

In the form of square, rectangular, circular, semi-circular models of cabs. One of the most common options are angular models.

Corner shower enclosures with a low pallet - a wonderful budget option, which in practice is very demanding for the preparation of the room. This is due to the fact that the walls of the cubicle are the walls of the bathroom. Installation does not require special skills, but initially the room should have a good protection against dampness, so that the appearance of the shower does not complicate the situation and does not contribute to the destruction of walls, flooding or the appearance of mold.

In addition to the pallet, the complete set includes a stationary cloth( wall) and a mobile( door), as well as fittings and plumbing. If necessary, the pedestal is made, although the own height of the pallet helps to hide the drainage communications, if a low siphon is used.

Corner shower does not provide for further transportation, so it is installed in a dry part of the bathroom in a pre-prepared area. It makes sense to spend on the plumber and installer, if you are not sure of yourself.

Based on the "favorite" requests, all the dimensions of the shower cabins can be divided into three groups:

• Compact showers have a square or rectangular shape with a side of 80, 90 cm and an area of ​​not more than 0.81 cm². This is a cheap and angry option when it comes not so much about quality, as about the availability and simple opportunity to wash. Models with additional options are rare, and therefore are much higher. The shower is narrow, it is not for the taste of tall and large people.
• Convenient showers with an area of ​​1.44 m²( wall 100-120 cm.) Like the dimensional people. In a close bathroom they do not always have enough space, but if you use the space competently, then comfort is provided. In this dimensional series, there are many interesting proposals not only for price, but also for functionality.
• Spacious showers( at least one side more than 120 cm.) are usually offered in multifunctional options. Install them in large bathrooms. Acquisition for wealthy people, so it is significantly more expensive than the first options.

Of course, the average cabin is more comfortable compact. Take into account that the place will be needed for assembly, as well as the sink and the passage. So do not forget about the size of the bathroom. This is the main parameter when buying a shower.

Buying a shower enclosure should be planned based on room, personal needs and budget.

When choosing the dimensions of the model, you need to take into account the height of the bathroom so that there are not any large gaps left. Budget models have small sizes and minimal functionality. Additional options and serious accessories are built into spacious booths, this is reflected in their cost.

Cast iron pallets are very hardy, but do not have a variety of colors due to the low tide. They have small sides, but they do not make a relief bottom. But anti-slip coatings are often made with other modern materials. Alternatives can be special mats or stickers to prevent slipping. Such a security measure is necessary if people aged and children use the shower.

Shower cabins from European and Japanese brands are considered the most reliable, characterized by high-quality and beautiful performance, multifunctionality. At the same time, assembly of such units is better to trust the masters. Domestic options are classified as available: simple and reliable, with a minimum of options and devoid of pretentiousness. You can install them yourself.

An important role is played by the complexion of the host: great difficulties for people of high growth or large build. The first is uncomfortable in closed booths with a roof, the second is hard to wash in narrow models.

Choosing compact showers, it is worth considering not only the space in the bathroom, the connection features, the availability of cranes and pipes.

Simple models can be assembled by yourself, photo and video instructions will help in this.

The basic stages are similar:

1. Installation of a siphon, which can be placed under the bottom of the shower. The bottom is applied to the installation site, outlines the outlines and drain. Moving it from the list, mount a low siphon. Then fix the booth, for this purpose the mounting foam applied on the drawn contours will come in handy. For reliable construction, the pallet is loaded from above to tighten it more tightly. To siphon did not fail in the future, it is checked.
2. The installation of the walls begins with the assembly of the frame from the arc elements and vertical racks on the floor. Then insert the cloth into the recesses, fix it with rubberized parts. For strength, screw the screws from the inside to the vertical slats. When the unit is ready, it is mounted: they lean against the walls of the room, draw markings. They need to rigidly fix the profile, using fasteners and screws. The screen is sealed with silicone. By connecting the canvas with the brackets of the frame, it is pulled upwards and the horizontal sections of the profile are lubricated with sealant. The lowered block is rigidly fixed with screws.
3. Door installation. Mobile cloths are fastened from above and from below by rollers through prepared holes. First, connect the doors with the rollers in the top, using the eccentric controls for alignment. Hanging the canvas in the upper arch, install the lower rollers, using springs. On this complexity is over.

If you are not confident in your abilities, then invite experts. The installation of the shower is not a complicated process, however it is troublesome and requires skill. Accuracy and attention to detail will help to assemble the shower in a qualitative way, so that the cabin is long pleased, it was strong and safe.
