Modern shower cabins are increasingly reminiscent of complex designs with many additional functions - hydro massage, sauna, music, aromatherapy, etc. However, despite the technical perfection of these structures, their design can hardly be called attractive: massive pallets, thick walls, a large control panel give the cubicle a cumbersome space, which, in turn, overloads the space of the bathroom.
As fashionable interiors gravitate towards lightness and weightlessness, the designers have developed radically new shower enclosures without a pallet. They can not be called booths in the direct sense of the word: thin, often transparent walls are mounted directly on the floor of the bath, so that the shower box becomes an integral element in the interior design.
