Step by step instructions on the pallet arrangement for a shower with their own hands

This article is intended for people who are not professional builders.The fact that this shower tray is quite easy to make your own hands, without resorting to the services of specialists.Yes, and buy the finished pallet (and there are many in the market of sanitary products) is not necessary, since not all of them can go up or size, or execution. In addition, they have, depending on the material, and some disadvantages.A do it yourself, you can pan all: both form and decoration.After all, the house, the bathrooms (shower) rooms - individual, everywhere there are some features, including in the design of the room, and in its dimensions.

Understanding shower tray

As a rule, individual building (and in apartments) floors in the bathroom filled with concrete.So, we can assume that the primary concrete screed floor already.Therefore, it is best to make a pan with ceramic tiles.Today you can buy a tile for every taste.Especially since it is made, as a rule, and walls in the shower.And if the "lift" the walls and increase the size of the pan, it will turn into a full bath.

If the pallet is arranged in a wooden structure (eg, bath), the walls of the concrete floor insulated roofing material and a polyethylene film.In fact, the pan is a concrete floor laid on top of ceramic tiles.Along the perimeter of the pallet base is constructed wall, which also obkladyvaetsya tiles.Under ground water passes the drain channel having on the surface of the pan bottom drain hole.All parts of the floor are made with some inclination towards him.Where to locate the drain hole, it does not matter.The main thing is that it does not interfere with the normal wash, and it was convenient to arrange the floor.

water drainage system

This is the first, where to start.Already it stated that the existence of concrete ties is implied.If you already have the floor, surrounded by a tile, then it should be removed.

Note. necessary to consider this point.The water in the sewer pipe should go "samotokom".So, from the drain to the common pipe sewage discharge pipe should be laid with a bias towards the sewer - otherwise the water will just stand.

Therefore, we must all provide.You may have to lift the pan (do on the dais).To do this will need to arrange additional formwork and "raise" concrete subfloor in this place (which is something like a pedestal in the shower).

drainage angle of inclination should be at least 3 degrees.It may be worthwhile to think over such option: do not connect to the sewage discharge pipe in the house (the tube is usually at ground level), and output directly to the street, into the well.But this is due to the circumstances, the main thing - to provide a bias.

Incremental improvement pallet

1. mounted shower trap (neck plum) and a discharge pipe.Ladder and pipes laid on the "Stand."It is better to use a wooden chocks, as they need to be of different heights to provide a bias drain pipes.Pipes are recommended plastic, and the drain trap, too.They fit together well, and leaks in the future will be, and mount them is much easier.Plus - they are more durable than metal pipes;
2. makes the primary concrete floor screed as - I already told (if you need to raise the level of the pallet).Ties or fill an entire room, or just under the pallet;
3. further makes the partition wall.There can be two options.The first option - made formwork, which then filled with concrete solution.These walls then easily impose tiles.The second option - the wall can be made of brick, and then apply several layers of plaster, and then - a tile.This is someone as comfortable, but the purpose of the wall is clear.It prevents the spreading of water around the room;
4. After readiness walls made of concrete screed pan bottom with a slope toward the drain cap.How you do this depends on the geometry of the pallet.But the water has run off the bottom of the drain from any surface.Especially leveling screed makes no sense, since full alignment is done to fix the tiles.The level of the screed must be such that the drain hole is exactly at the level of the stacked ceramic tiles;
5. half wet screed and the walls are primed and processed waterproofing composition;
6. Finishing tray - facing it with ceramic tiles.

Take into account that in a city apartment massive pan set is not recommended - it will create undue stress on slabs.Independently perform all calculations are unlikely to succeed, so you need to consult a specialist.
