Make a simple screen for the bathroom with their hands - step by step instructions

cost of the cheapest options for bath screens is within 1 100 - 1 600 rubles (for standard size tubs).The price of refined (with different accessories) and better model starts with 3750 rubles.But if you look closely at their design, it is easy to understand that the screen under the bath is easy to make yourself.And it does not require much time and considerable financial outlay.

So does it make sense to spend money, even if, as a rule, after the acquisition of the screen have to deal with it in a place fit?After all, no manufacturer is not able to take into account all the nuances of our bathrooms.The main thing - the right to decide on materials and design.

What to choose?

Considering that this room is characterized by large temperature fluctuations and excessive humidity, the best option - plastic and aluminum (or duralumin) profile.It is possible in principle to use and MDF, but this material requires high-quality treatment, and not just the surface, but also "deep" (impregnation).

If you work with drywall, even moisture-resistant, making it the sliding type screen will not work (because the sheets gradually swell) - only the "fixed" version.But how then to engage, if necessary, maintenance or repair of the system, including the replacement of parts (the same trap) - the big question.It is unlikely that someone like the prospect of permanently dismantle a trim regularly unscrewing / screwing fasteners.Even the sheets will last a long time with such intensive use.

great option - mirror cloth.But it will, of course, more expensive.

With clear materials.Some further recommendations are simply meaningless, for example, by color, size, because each of us and our own priorities, and "own" bathroom, with all its features - dimensions, location (and connection) plumbing, the specifics of routing communicationsshape and size of the bath and so on.

Therefore, it makes sense to consider the order of work in general, that is to give ideas and guidelines for its implementation.And like that, and what to fix, the owner is able to decide himself, even better than any party "adviser".

design

execution may be different, as there are several options screens.A significant role in the choice of the type of performance play a height of bath installation and configuration.

«Deaf" wall

About its defects already mentioned, although much depends on the features of the room.In some cases it is easier to make a combined screen, that is, one part of it - stationary, and the other - "mobile".

Swing (swing) wall

This option is much more convenient, since the inside of the sheets can be strengthened by a special "holder" for a variety of accessories (shown below).

can mount the panel and so that they open up.

disadvantage of this engineering solution is that for small bathrooms (but just that characterized most of the apartments in the homes typical layout) it is unlikely to fit.After all, to provide access to the elements of sanitary ware, located under the tank, they will have to open fully, not less than 90 °.

sliding sash

From any point of view - the best option.That's its installation should talk more.

list only the sequence of actions, and the technical details - the reader's discretion.

Bearing frame

It can be made of metal corner or wooden slats.

Although metal or plastic is preferable as more resistant to moisture.To frame was stronger, and the panel does not "walk", you need to correctly calculate where to install the uprights (and they certainly are mounted).

Fixing guides

There are no major difficulties;just need to bear in mind that the horizontal distance between the upper and lower straps should slightly exceed the width of the panel.Then, if necessary, it will not be difficult to remove from the frame without doing even partial disassembly.

panels

Speaking of plastic, it is necessary to bear in mind that its thickness should provide the required rigidity sash.After all, willy-nilly, but family members will periodically "test" it on the strength of his knees.

How to make a layout, cut flaps and similar things - it makes no sense to tell.Who does not understand, and he will not do, and invite experts.For information masterovitogo human enough, so only sincerely wish him good luck.
