Now more and more buyers prefer the soul before the bathroom. By visiting a shower cabin store, you will be struck by their diversity. In this regard, the question arises about the criteria for choosing this device.
Shower cabin is a limited space where water procedures are carried out. All models are divided into closed and open.
Closed cabs
They are called so because they are closed from all sides – except for walls they have a roof. This allows you to place them everywhere where there is a water supply and removal system. The differences between models of this type are available in the following parameters:
By the number of functions: simple and multifunctional. The latter belongs to products where, in addition to the shower, another or more functions are presented.
In terms of size and shape are angular, rectangular, square, round and semicircular. The dimensions are different (from 700 to 700 to 800 by 2100 mm).
In height and material pallet.
On the material of the doors and walls.
Open cabins
This name is given for the reason that these products do not have a ceiling, and the space, respectively, is limited by four side walls (of which 2-3 are the walls of the room, and the rest are the doors/walls of the cabin itself). Similar designs can be easily selected in the GEBERIT showers store. Their main features:
The need for neatly aligning the floor and walls, the preparation of waterproofing. Without this, it is impossible to ensure the necessary tightness and install doors whose backlash should not exceed 2 mm.
A shower corner is placed in the corner of the room or in a special niche.
Due to the lack of a roof in such booths, there are no some additional functions (like a “tropical shower”, “aromatherapy”, etc.).
Installation can be carried out right on the floor, which is very important for small bathrooms. If in the shower cabin store you purchased a design where the pallet is absent, and there are only doors and walls, before installing it, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. Before the start of work, decide on the installation site and the exact size of such a product. Then make waterproofing the floor and walls. And after that, install the water drain system (ladder) – here the water enters the grate and is sent to the pipes to the sewer.
If the floor and the sewer system are already made, the shower can be placed on the pallet of the corresponding size selected in the same shower cabin store.
The use of transparent glass in open cabins visually increases the space of the room.
