Shower cabin without roof: with a deep, low pallet, dimensions 80x80, 90x90, 100x100, 80x120

More recently - 10-20 years ago - shower cabins were installed mainly in the bathrooms of public institutions: hospitals, hotels, gyms, etc. Owners preferred to equip their own apartments and houses with baths only. Today, the shower cabin is considered a convenient and functional appliance, which can become an almost complete replacement of the bathtub.

Large selection of shower cabins allows you to choose the unit for any bathroom and for any needs. In the sanitary ware shops are shower cabins square and round, with a deep and a small tray, combined with a bath and with a sauna. One of the most popular models is a shower cabin without a roof.

A shower enclosure equipped with only a pallet and partitions is called open. Such a modification is considered to be budgetary and therefore available to a large number of buyers.

• As already mentioned above, open shower enclosures in the mass are much cheaper than airtight models. Therefore, if the budget does not allow the purchase of a capsule cab, it is worthwhile to dwell on this option.
• Because of the low price, the open shower enclosures are quite simple. This means that their installation requires much less time, effort and special knowledge than installing sealed shower enclosures.
• The minimum height of shower cabins with a roof is 205 cm. That is, in rooms where the ceiling height is less than this figure, it is not possible to install a closed shower enclosure. Meanwhile, quite often shower cabins are bought for installation in the country or on the attic floor, where the ceilings are very low or have a slope. Open showers are usually a bit lower, so they can easily be placed even in the bathroom with the lowest ceiling.
• Another advantage is associated with the growth of users of the shower cubicle. High people often feel uncomfortable in closed cabins, where the ceiling is only a few centimeters from the head. In this case, the shower cabin will be an excellent solution to the problem.

• The main disadvantage of open showers is that their use is impossible if the bathroom is not adequately provided with waterproofing. Steam escaping through the top of the cabin, settles on the ceiling, walls and furniture. If the materials of the finish are not moisture-resistant, this will soon lead to loss of appearance, the formation of mildew in the appearance of insects.
• Since open showers are considered an option for a limited budget, often manufacturers save on the quality of materials and components. To purchase reliable and durable equipment, contact only proven and well-known manufacturing companies.
• Due to the design features, open shower models have a limited range of functions. For example, they can not be used for conducting steam bath or sauna sessions, and shower cabins with a roof are often purchased for this purpose.

As well as closed models, shower cabins without a roof can be equipped with pallets of different depths. Some models are sold without pallets at all - it is assumed that it can be made independently.

Deep pallets of are pallets, the height of which is up to 30 cm. They are often chosen by those who are accustomed to using the bathroom, because if you put in a deep tray of water, it turns into a kind of "trough" in which you can buy a child or wash smallthings.

Low pallets of are pallets less than 15 cm high. They are often purchased in houses where elderly people or people with disabilities live. Experts do not recommend installing a small pallet, if the drainage of water in the bathroom works poorly. Otherwise, there is a high probability of flooding neighbors.

The pallets in height from 15 to 30 cm are considered average. They are chosen by those who do not have special requirements regarding the depth of the pallet.

Pallet sizes for shower cabins can be very different, because in addition to standard square and rectangular models, shower cabins with round, oval and asymmetric pallets are sold.

We will consider the most common sizes:

• 80 * 80 - the smallest shower enclosures, which are usually installed in close bathrooms of Khrushchev;on the width they just correspond to the space released after the removal of the bath;
• 90 * 90 - one of the most popular options, as it is more spacious than the previous one, but not as expensive as a one-meter-wide shower cubicle;allow you to take a shower with comfort, but do not take up much space.
• 100 * 100 is the optimal option from the point of view of convenience, as it allows you to take shower without trouble even to a large enough person;these cabins are usually installed in spacious bathrooms;
• 80 * 120 - large models that occupy the same space as the standard bath;usually equipped with a lot of extra features and a comfortable seat.

• When choosing a shower, you need to determine in advance with its basic parameters: the size, shape, depth of the pallet and the material of manufacture.
• If you own a small bathroom, then take a closer look at the corner models. Such a shower will release some useful space.
• When buying, pay attention to the thickness of the walls - the more it is, the better. Do not buy a cabin with a thickness of the partitions less than 6 mm. Also, carefully inspect the walls and doors for chips, scratches and other mechanical damage.
• When choosing a shower, open-close the door of the model you like several times. If the product is of good quality, then the opening and closing of the doors must pass quietly and effortlessly.
• Check the complete shower enclosure. Since models without a roof are usually inexpensive, manufacturers can save on equipment. All the necessary accessories can be purchased separately.
