The rise of cabin shower

Quite often such a situation arises, as a result of redevelopment in a bathroom shower stall has to be installed at some distance from the riser.In this case, for the operation of the drain in the normal mode, it is necessary to implement some recovery stall shower on the floor.After the removal of the riser is necessary to provide sufficient bias drain pipe to the water went into the sewer without any obstacles.Cabs can be raised in two ways: to build a runway in high heels or optional tray.Consider both of these options in more detail.

construction catwalk heels

This option can approach those models showers, in which the installation of the pallet is carried out on a special metal frame with screwed in her legs.These legs are made as long threaded studs, one end of which is screwed into the structural members of the frame and the second plastic are wound pedestal cabinet and which stands on the floor.The threads on the rods allows to some extent regulate the raising of the height of the pallet, but it is unlikely it will be enough to achieve this goal.Therefore, the task of lifting the pallet to a great height is reduced to the purchase of longer studs of the same diameter and install them in place of staff.

You may not be able to find a stud, ideal length.In this case, you need to get hacksaw and have the skills to work with it.With the help of this simple tool of a long rod with a threaded stud cut a suitable length.With the old legs unscrewed the plastic stand and screwed onto the new blank.Then, the newly created stud bolted to the frame and are fixed locknuts.

This work is under the force of each, as the complex is not nothing in it.It is only necessary to be able to keep in the hands of hand tools.After installing the new legs will only align their height on the level and secure.

pallet device under the shower

This version has some features is the fact that such work can be done quickly and cheaply.However, it needs to know exactly how high you are going to raise the shower.For the correct calculation of this parameter will need ordinary corrugated drain.It is set in place and connected to a pallet, which is tied for the place where you plan to its final installation.Make sure that the corrugations length was optimal, without exaggeration and without bends.

further assistance is still required at least two people.One should pour water into the tray, and two others to raise it gradually.It should be noted, at what height from the floor to ensure maximum efficiency outflow of water from the sump to the characteristic of the sound.This height should not be too high, but at the same time and sufficient.

In any case, this height must be calculated, and not invent the head.Most often, the best option is a 15 - centimeter rise.For the use of such height also said the fact that the height of foam concrete block is equal to just 15 cm. That is what we will use as a material for the pallet construction.If in your case, the height is excessive, it is possible to choose smaller blocks.In the opposite case, the missing bricks height can be added.

Making future podium

template The next step is to make the bottom of the template contour shower.This circuit will be used several times, so it is best to cut it out of a piece of plywood or drywall using a jigsaw.You can, of course, it simply cut out of cardboard or oilcloth.Most importantly, it is perfectly consistent with the size of the pallet shower stall.Otherwise, you will do the construction, and to put it level and stable pallet can not.In order to achieve the necessary precision, simply turn the bath with a shower and put it on the material.Then cut around its outline with a pencil and cut out the appropriate tool.

main works

When a template is made, it is necessary to put in there, where planned construction of the pallet.Now you need to prepare a special adhesive solution with the following components:

• Tile Adhesive any brand - 70%;
• mounting glue - 30%;
• Clean water.

Water is used in the composition to retard the setting time of the adhesive, which is not more than 5 - 7 mine.With water paste is diluted to a consistency reminiscent of not very thick sour cream.Since even the use of water does not significantly increase the drying time of the composition, do not do it in too much.It should be just enough to have time to work out during 7 - 10 minutes.It is better to make a new batch than to spoil the material.If you do not believe in running your operation, you can use an ordinary cement mortar, but it is very much increase the time of work, since it dries need to expect at least a week.Next

produce work in the following order:

• contour that we drew on the floor should be primed and cover solution.Then it begin to lay foam or other material that has been selected for the construction of the pallet.
• On aerated concrete blocks laid with our template and align all edges of the thick solution.It can be obtained by reducing the amount of water, sometimes even up to its complete absence.When leveling you need to use the building level.
• After aligning the edges of the foam blocks have wait until the complete drying of the solution and remove the template.Then align the entire top, so that the pan turned out perfectly flat.To this end, the edge of the foam blocks can be used as beacons.
• Then dry surface lay tile, which put the pattern and hold the desired contour.Then, on the contour cut the tiles and glue.

As you can see, nothing complicated.The main pre-prepared all the necessary materials and tools.In this case, the pallet required height can be built very quickly without throwing dirt in the bathroom for a few days.

What materials and tools required enumerate all the necessary materials and tools for the manufacture of the podium for the installation of shower cubicles for the manufacture of pallet podium

:

• foam blocks or bricks.

• selected type of solution.

• large and small spatula.

• What a container under the dilution solution.

• suitable material for the template.

• Building level.

• Any tool for mixing solution.

• Tile.

• special tool to cut the tiles.
• pencil or marker.

are going to build a pedestal for the shower, it is necessary to think over every detail to ensure that your work has not proved to be in vain.Remember that the correctness of the calculations and the work will depend on many things, including comfort, convenience and safety of the shower stall.In addition, violation of sanitary equipment installation can cause an emergency.
