After all pipe and cable, Stroebe sealed cement mortar or gypsum plaster.

If the bathroom combined, all water and sewer communications are usually limited and compactly mounted near the central riser sewer.Move it still does not succeed, so that all communications hub will be time to disguise duct plasterboard.

Particular attention is paid to the method of connection to the sewer standpipe itself shower stall.Some trays have a very low position of the spout, so to connect it to the drain pipe will either bury it in the floor, or lift cabin itself to the required height.Raise the tray with special adjustable feet, or spread brick pedestal, which is set and shower.

If the bathroom combined, and instead of a bath set shower, some prefer not to mount the box, which can spoil the interior design and install drywallmasking wall with an elegant door blinds.Especially this variant when when combined bathroom and toilet sewer pipe center is in the middle of the back wall of the room.

Waterproofing bathroom surfaces

Even before installing masking boxes, after termination of cutting grooves and removing the debris of the room, the floor must be covered with waterproofing.Especially carefully it is necessary to do all around the pipe passing through the slab any purpose (through-liners).

How to approach to the choice of shower stall

prepared the room for the installation of all the necessary accessories, you can enjoy a choice acquisition shower stall.Not to be mistaken with the size, precise measurements must first be removed from the area where the cabin is planned to be installed, and to determine the exact area that can be allocated to it.

And if you plan to buy a booth, even in terms of having almost a triangular shape with a small semi-circular projection, then the basis should be taken all the same square.Vending in the store the same model should fathom all sides to house transfer these sizes on location for the cabin.

Currently, the range of specialist shops presents various showers - from the simplest to equipped with numerous additional options.Naturally, the cost of them also has a large spread.In addition, they may be of different types, shapes, made of different materials.

Showers mainly divided into two types according to the basic design - indoor and outdoor.What are they - it should be interested in the first place.

Showers open type

openly call showers, which are limited by side walls, but do not have a ceiling.

walls in the cabins open models may be two or three, they can be installed in front of the structure and the walls.Moreover, there are variants having only the front wall that are attached to the carcass, mounted on a wall.

Such models cabins are considered products of an economy class, because basically have only a basic set of functions.They are often also called "shower corners."Cabs without rear wall, require enhanced sealing at the junction of the pallet to the wall, the same as when you install a conventional bath.

absence of some additional functions can also be explained by the fact that they will be of no use in the construction of this type, since it does not have a ceiling, but, for example, "aromatherapy" or "sauna" will be effective onlyin an enclosed space.

Manufactured open cabins that can be installed without pallet, but such models are still not worth it to install in the apartments of apartment buildings, since, even if the quality done waterproofing, there is a possibility of flooding of the lower floors of apartments.

addition, the floor will have to raise a coupler, at least 70 ÷ 80 mm, so that this layer laid sewer ladder and mount.This screed, even without still required the flooring, will weight considerably overlapping structure that is extremely dangerous, especially for older houses.

undesirable to purchase a booth and a tray with low bumpers, as this can also lead to flooding of the lower floors.

Tiled The only thing that can fix things (except for ties) - is to set the tray in a well hydroisolated the podium, which is normally folded out of the bricks.It already has the ability to hide the drain pipe, and take her to the sewer, subject to a mandatory deviation in the 2 - 3 degrees.

These options are best suited for bathrooms of private homes, when the water is drained from the tray immediately carried into the sewer pipe.

Enclosed cab

Closed-type showers are also called boxes.They differ from shower enclosures that are pan walls on all sides and a roof.These cabins boxes can be equipped with the basic function - a shower, or to be multifunctional.

They are given to a variety of forms - in terms they can be a rectangle, circle, semi-circle, a triangle, etc.Their size diameter or perimeter dependent on pallets parameters which, in turn, may also differ in height, material and manufacturing.

Bath with shower

Another option, which will take place in a room not much bigger than a standard bath.This is - a complex allowing and soak in hot water, and relax or energize using the shower.

This compact accessory made in different variations, and can only be equipped with a shower or have a variety of other functions, including the original lighting, and even the possibility of listening to music.

Sometimes this cabin may have a rectangular shape, the type of a conventional bath.There angular variations, but they require more space than a standard accessory.

Homemade showers

This shower can erect the owner of the apartment, but the tray is still better to buy ready-made.Of course, it can be folded independently, but it is not necessary to load the span - enough to make a brick podium on the perimeter.

two walls or one, as will be intended by the designer, it can be folded out of bricks and tiles to impose or build from glass blocks.

Size makeshift shower will depend on what kind of pan is suitable for your particular room.

On sale you can find glass blocks with different color and textured pattern, so they can choose to suit every taste.These elements are mounted is also quite easy - the main thing, to constantly monitor the verticality of the masonry.

case for small - to erect a barrier

Installation walls in the bathroom - it's almost the same as the construction of walls made of different materials, including glass brick.As independently folded partition - read in a special publication of the portal.

Trays for shower cabins

As mentioned above, the tray defines the shape of shower cubicles.
