Forms and types of showers
shower cabin - alternative to the standard bath and is intended for water treatment. On the market there are a large number of cabins of various shapes, designs and sizes, but they are conventionally divided into two types:
- prefabricated - a closed structure consisting of the three walls and the door. Can be placed in the corner of the bathroom, because of its design. They have one or two doors. No rear wall and side walls are attached to the bathroom and to the pallet.
- monobloc - universal type, easy to install. On the market a wide range, which makes it possible to choose the hydromassage box for any area.
At the base of the pallet is worth one-piece construction, shape and dimensions affect on where allowed to establish boxing. They are made of different materials - from acrylic to iron.
The walls, doors and door unit (otherwise "blind), are made of tempered glass on a frame of metal profiles, but there are also more economical embodiments made from polystyrene.
Tempered glass makes it possible to select a cabin under the design of the bathroom.
Modern massage cabins are equipped with a variety of accessories for ease of use, among which:
- seat;
- mirrors;
- pens;
- shelves for soap supplies;
- towel racks;
- hooks for sponges;
- watering cans;
- liquid soap dispensers;
- foot massager.
Control lighting, fan, radio, telephone, some models can be remote control.
Many cabins are equipped with hydro-massage.
Cabins are divided into:
- electronic - operate at the expense of power. Some functions: basic and decorative lighting, extractor fan, radio or MP3 player, answering phone calls, e-distributor;
- mechanical - standard features: a mixer and diverter, mixing, and dispensing water flows in different modes.
open
Limited only four sides and has no ceiling design is also called shower enclosure. With two or three sides restricted bathroom walls and on the other - and the walls of the cabin doors.
Installation of booths of this type requires high-quality preparation premises to ensure the integrity of the structure. This requires carefully align the walls and floor and provide waterproofing.
Since the walls and shower doors are attached to the walls of the room with special loops, it is important to eliminate all kinds of bumps and cracks on the surface.
Open models are mounted on a pallet or the floor. In the latter case it is important to take the following actions: to determine the size and location, seal the walls and floors, to make installation of drainage systems, pick-slip tiles.
Suitable for small spaces, through the installation of the floor. However, due to the fact that these cabins is not the top, some functions such as "hammam," or "rain shower" no.
closed
Otherwise - shower boxes. Are isolated on the sides, top and bottom of the space. Installed at any place, provided the water supply and drainage system.
The boxes are made of different shapes and sizes, is directly dependent on the pallet at the base of: angular, round, square, semi-circular, rectangular, polygonal.
They differ in a set of functions - simple, of the functions that have only a shower, and feature-rich, yet having one or more functions.
By types of cabins are divided into:
- shower cabin. The design of open or closed type, with a minimum set of features, but is equipped with various nozzles.
- shower box. Construction of the closed type with one or more functions, higher equipped pallets of various forms and sizes.
- Shower box with bathtub. The design combines the familiar cabin and bath. It stands out a capacious tray and large dimensions. In boxes of this type of integrated rich set of functionality.
- hydromassage cabin. Devices belonging to the closed type, endowed with hydro-massage at the expense of replaceable nozzles.
- Whirlpool boxing. Closed-type construction with whirlpool function which is performed by vertically installed in the rear wall of the nozzles.
- Hydromassage box with bathroom. Cumbersome design with a deep and long tray, combining the bathroom and shower. In the bottom tray wall and are integrated nozzle, with whose help massage is performed, and in some cases also air.
- Hydromassage box with sauna It is equipped with a built-in "Turkish Bath", and full steam room. In the second embodiment uses higher temperatures - the dimensions of such a construction is much more than other species.
Characteristics showers
When choosing capita boxing should focus not only on the overall size, but also on the form, because of these two parameters equally directly dependent selection of the installation site and method connection.
Angle symmetrical. Compact design, suitable for small spaces. It is a quarter circle. Side length equal to - from 80 to 120 cm - and semicircular front part. Sometimes front part is not in the form of a semicircle, and a polygon. Installed in the corners of the room, regardless of party.
Angular asymmetric. Cab represents versatile design. One lateral side longer than the other, and the front part of the round or polygonal shape.
Depending on the length of the sides, such models are separated by the method of installation on the left-sided and right-sided.
At the same time, the short side is set to a short wall. The length dimensions are from 100 to 120 cm and a maximum width - from 80 to 90 cm.
Rectangular or square. Due to a clear geometric shape, the design is set in a corner or along a wall. In contrast, square boxes, rectangular feature a deep pan, performing the usual bath function.
In square pallets equal sized sides and a length of 90 to 110 cm, and rectangular length range from 100 to 120 cm, and is uniform width - 80 cm.
Custom. Designs whose shape and dimensions do not fit the definition of "standard" applicable to the shower. Such models are made to order in a variety of forms and are endowed with the desired set of functions.
Pallets: depth and materials
The choice of the pallet depends on the following factors: size of the bathroom, condition of the pipes in the house, the user's wishes. pallet size directly affects the size of the shower box, as mentioned above.
Pallets are divided into three types, depending on the depth:
- low - trays, skirting height not exceeding 10 cm;
- Middle - skirting height not exceeding 18 cm;
- deep - the average height of the flanges ranging from 25 to 35 cm. In some cases, this value is much greater.
Another point worth attention, besides the size, shape and depth of the tray, and a fabrication material. He is bound to be tough and strong, can withstand the weight of the user, concentrated at one point of the pallet.
Materials from acrylic to wood, endowed with exceptional qualities and vary in cost.
Acrylic. It is gaining popularity among the materials for the manufacture of sanitary equipment - acrylic - distinguished by good properties of heat saving, easy to maintain and practical in use.
Chassis acrylic species - KVAR - German patented material made of acrylic with the addition of silica sand. This combination of materials tray acquires additional rigidity and hardness, and reduced the noise level from falling water.
Faience. Traditional ceramics, made of natural materials, characterized by a particular smoothness and shine.
Products made of this material are suitable for bathrooms in classical style, and looks more harmonious than synthetic materials.
However, porcelain trays require special regular maintenance as yellow under the influence of water and mud. Due to the fragility of the material on the enamel formed the subtle cracks and chips during rough handling - the fall of heavy objects will not stand.
Artificial marble. Glue mixture, which is based on marble chips, in the manufacture of pallets used not so long ago. Articles endowed with good heat-saving, do not require special care, painted in rich colors and low noise level.
Cast iron. Reliable, durable, resistant to deformation. Enamel coating does not require special care. Cast iron takes a while to warm up, but retains heat longer.
However, due to the increased severity of products, high noise levels and a narrow range of forms, cast iron pans are less common in the sale, superseded acrylic or steel.
Wood. Often encountered in the production of pallets elite material - Teak wood is natural and eco-friendly. From it produce flat trays embedded in the floor plane showers -stably slip.
Steel.Steel products easier to iron. A thick layer of enamel coating does not require special maintenance, and decreases the level of noise produced by the falling water. Inside the cabin is formed with a steel pallet pleasant climate, due to the air being heated.
A natural stone. Easy to clean, is resistant to deformation, and conserves the heat has a low noise level. Even when a pallet is damaged, it is easily returned to the original appearance of the surface by grinding. Most often used for shower marble or granite.
doors
There are five types of doors, intended for the shower. Each of them has its own advantages. Made of the same material as the wall (tempered glass or transparent plastic).
When choosing you should not rely solely on personal preference and bathroom interior, and pay attention to the ease of use in the space of the room.
Sliding door. When choosing a cabin for a limited small size of the room preferred by a sliding door. The available space does not play a role in the opening. These doors are suitable for cabins and multifunction boxes.
The mechanism is a guide from above and below, on which the rollers ride special. Allocated reliable performance. Separate models are fitted with only one row of rollers, which are located at the top. For sealing flaps are provided with rubber bands and magnets.
Swing door. In some cases, one or two doors, depending on the design. Mounted on special hinges, the choice of which you should pay attention to the quality of the metal, making it possible to open the door to the outside or inside.
The design is stable, but in the case of outwardly opening wings, requires space in front of the cab.
Pendulum door. Unclaimed type of door, in view of the fact that their opening and closing requires space outside and inside the cabin. Are mounted on special hinges that ensure a free flaps move in different directions.
Door-book. It consists of vertical panels, fastened by special hinges. By the cab structure is fixed by means sharopodshipnikov, due to which casement silently and easily opened.
Saves space and does not require free space in front box.
Can be opened and closed in part. But at the same time sound and heat insulation in such a low door, and attachment mechanisms do not differ reliability.
Without doors. The prerogative of the open cockpits. Designs are simple and have only the side walls - one or two - or do not have them at all. In organizing such a shower tray is not in use, and it performs the role of an inclined floor with built-in sink, trimmed slip tiles or wood.
wall
Shower cabin and divided by the number of walls, conventionally divided into:
- single-wall - installed in the corner of the bathroom, or in a special niche, without doors and curtain walls off or visual delineation of space;
- double wall - mounted in the corner and consists of two walls that are adjacent to the walls of the bathroom;
- trójścienna - installed along the walls of the room and consists of three walls;
- polnostennaya - installed anywhere, completely isolated on all sides.
functions

Advantages and disadvantages
Up & shower enclosures have a number of indisputable advantages, due to which the users and give preference to these devices.
Modern technologies allow to extend functionality, making use of the boxes comfortable, and the adoption of water treatment enjoyable.
- The main benefit, for which preference booths - saving space. Standard shower takes 2 times less space than a bathroom, making it suitable for use in small spaces. There is an opportunity to place in a small bathroom, in addition to boxing, washing machine and water dispenser.
- Safety. While taking a shower is a risk of injury because the cabins are made of safe and non-slip materials, pallet bumpers underestimated.
- Saving water. Resource consumption when using the device 2-3 times lower. Even when bathing children in the models with high pallet takes less water.

disadvantages
When the obvious merits of the showers are not without drawbacks, which should take into account when choosing.
- Rectangular boxes have a large width, which makes it impossible to install in small spaces.
- Moderate water pressure in the apartment house (less than 1.5 bar) limits the functionality, enabling only showering.
- On the doors and walls, a white aqueous coating, it requires that each time carefully cleaned surface after water treatment.
- The high cost relative to the usual bath. Although the market offers and low-end models, but a set of boxes modest functions.
- Standard shower does not replace the bath and do not allow to take the position, lying in the water. But the compromise is - a rectangular box with a high tray, which combines the functionality and convenience of the cabin bath.
- Over time, the economy class models may become loose door, which will affect the tightness. In economic models the weak frame, which leads to the formation of rust and breakage.
- Installation is simple cabins laborious time and finances, due to the need for alignment and sealing surface of the walls and floor, and requires the help of third-party masters.
How to choose a shower
The desire to buy the cab is often caused by such factors: the small size of bathrooms and a preference for short water treatments.
Choosing a shower - not an easy process, as it is important to consider many things. Primarily assessed financial capabilities and needs, on the basis of them, to select the size, equipment and apparatus configuration.
Type of
For small rooms suitable shower or corner box. The cost of a cab in 3-4 times lower than the multi-boxing, but the installation will take away time and energy more. In addition, the shower area does not have any additional features, unlike boxing, and not allocated integrity.
Closed type is characterized by the fact that the box is easy to install and move when you move.
Pallet
When choosing a pallet it is important to pay attention to the material from which it is made, and on the dimensions: length, width, height. At the edge of the pallet mounted guard member that requires focus on the dimensions of all the family members that the size does not restrict movement of the largest user.
If the shower is chosen as the only sanitary equipment such purpose, and live in the house children, it is better to stop the election on a pallet with oversized bumpers, which will be used as shallow bath. Such an option would be appropriate and hand washing bulky items.
But if the house is inhabited by the elderly or sick people, the option with the lower bumpers and an integrated seat would be more appropriate.
When choosing a pallet is taken into account and form common - a square and a rectangle. But demand and pallets in the form of a quarter circle, polygon, circle, shells. Straight-line trays with smooth cladding structures do not require any special form of doors.
pallet material plays a major role. With a diversity of materials the main selection criteria are:
- resistance to stress, buckling, and deformation;
- resistance to the coating slip.
Door and wall
The main types of doors installed in the shower - revolving and sliding doors. When you select should focus on fixing the workmanship and the fact whether the lack of free space in front of the cab. If there is enough space, then you can stop the choice on the swing doors, and if there is no place - that on sliding.
Material for walls and doors can be plastic or glass. Glass is more reliable and has a lot of design decisions that are suitable to the interior of any bathroom, but behind glass you need to carefully look after, each time wiping after use, in order to avoid the formation of white deposits from water and detergents funds.
Which is better
The unequivocal answer to this question, as in the choice of cabin should be guided only by personal needs and opportunities. But there are some criteria that give a better understanding of the device and the qualities it possesses.
- Material of walls and doors - Tempered Glass. It is safe and durable plastic, are made with different finishes, and with proper care does not lose the original appearance.
- The material of the pallet - acrylic or KVAR and marble chips. These materials are heated rapidly retain heat, resistant to deformation and do not require special care. The noise level is low and damage to the surface are removed by grinding.
- Doors - sliding, mnogostvorchatye.Mnogostvorchatost indicates that the device frame is made of strong and durable materials.
Sliding doors are more reliable, by using high-quality fasteners, and when opening does not take place.
- Functional. In this case, there is no universal advice and focus need only to personal needs.
- The shape and size - selected according to convenience, the largest member of the family so that it can rotate freely, move your hands, rise and fall. It is better if the cabin size is slightly larger than the minimum comfortable.
Exploitation
Shower boxes require special care during the operation, the device is not broken and does not require repair.
Each model comes with a detailed instruction manual, which provides the necessary information on the specifics of the device, the rules of operation and care recommendations.
After mounting, before the first use must ensure that the structure is connected to the necessary systems and grounded wiring.
If during the installation work the seams were not treated with the sealant, it is necessary to do so in order to avoid leaks, and leave to dry for 24 hours.
During operation it is important to observe the following rules and precautions:
- Before using it is important to ensure that there is no leakage of electric current or voltage.
- The power supply must conform to generally accepted standards of safety and combined with the parameters of the model. Are required to protect against overload fuses. Providing a reliable grounding system and protection of the sockets and plugs against water.
- Prohibited the replacement of any electrical components on their own.
- Before long disuse cabin you want to disable the power supply using the switch and close the water supply.
- During the operation of mechanical damage to the body are not allowed.
- Impact on the button should be smooth, without effort.
- The design should be well ventilated.
- Modification of the control unit and cutting wires is unacceptable.
- The composition of detergents should be acetone, ammonia and gaseous substances.
- Operation is children and elderly people is done under adult supervision.
- It is recommended to install a crane in the middle position before the opening of the water and then install the desired position.
- Do not use the device after taking alcohol and hard drugs.
- Hydro-massage cabins held on doctor's advice in accordance with the regulations.
Since the structure is made of different materials, it is important to select suitable detergents - one or more.
There are three types of treatments.
daily - basic procedures that are carried out every day. When such care need for general cleaning is reduced, and the cabin itself longer retain the original appearance.
It recommended daily rinse the inner surfaces with the use of low-cost detergent, wipe the dry surface and leave the door open for ventilation.
recurrent - held once a week and include the same procedures as the daily treatment, but focuses on wiping the joints and seams in order to avoid the formation of mold and mildew.
general - during regular cleaning cabins, these treatments are not more than 2 times per month. Cleaning is carried out using a variety of cleaning products and accessories: special scrapers, soft cloths or sponges, detergent cleaner or a steam cleaner. Final cleaning is carried out, if the box is idle for a long time without a job.

Faults and repairs
Like other plumbing fixtures shower boxes require regular maintenance, which is not only clean and careful handling, but also in maintenance.
First of all it is necessary to install special filters on the pipes to prevent sewage from entering the common sewer.
During operation, you should periodically check the status of faucets, pipes and hoses and replace them as needed.
If it was not possible to prevent breakage and guarantee period has expired, it is necessary to invite the master or to make repairs yourself. In the market of spare parts is provided for selection boxes that independent repair is not difficult.
If a serious failure, and no skills, it is reasonable to ask for professional help, otherwise there is a risk of disabling the entire system.
shower faults occur due to incorrect installation, improper use, negligence, and power outages.
Failures are divided into three types:
- damage to body and its elements: breakage of hinges and rollers, wear parts made of plastic, the formation of cracks in the walls or the pallet;
- malfunction of plumbing: fittings, watering cans and hose;
- electrical fault: radio, lights, sensors of the steam generator, the speakerphone.
Pallet
Cracks formed acryl pallets because of improper installation or carelessness use. If a serious failure in excess of 35 cm in length, it is necessary to replace the item by choosing a new of the same size and shape.
But if the crack or hole is small, it can be repaired on their own by using acrylic, curing agent and abrasive skins.
Stages in the repair of the pallet include the following:
- Separation from the rest of the element design and attentive check for other damage.
- Washing and drying element.
- Expansion cracks and edge grinder or a drill with a special nozzle.
- Solvent degreasing alcohol-based surface.
- Kneading solution according to the instructions given in the proportions of acrylic and hardener.
- Plugging cracks.When the through hole will first need to apply fiberglass and epoxy resin, is embedded inside, and then perform the same steps.
In the blind crack is filled with the solution removed the excess mixture from the top is sealed with tape and allowed to dry completely.
- Drying tray in a well-ventilated place.
- Polishing repaired places special paper.
Before installing the element in the place you need to take additional measures to reduce the risk of recurrence of such an accident. Under the bottom of the pan is necessary to lay a brick melt cushion, then set the element into place and remove the front screen.
The resulting space between the bottom and is sealed with foam bricks with a low coefficient of expansion.
door rollers
Replacement is required if the rollers creaking or cab door wedge. When buying new items should give preference to products of stainless steel or brass - these will last longer.
The difference in the diameter of the new and old parts is not greater than 5 mm. We need to know the width of the groove, walking distance of the door and a side rail height.
Replacement rollers occurs in 5 steps:
- Door removal.
- Use a screwdriver and pliers made lifting rollers.
- Installation of new elements and adjusting the locking nut.
- Installation of doors.
- Adjusting the rollers.
To ensure safety and extend the life of the new elements treated with a special anti-corrosion solution.
cabin leak
Malfunction occurs due illiterate installation seam processing and improper care. The problem is solved by a proper sealing. work steps include:
- Careful removal of the old sealant sharp knife.
- Boxing Dismantling into components.
- Washing with soap and water and thoroughly dry components.
- Degreasing surfaces alcoholic solvent.
- Application of the new sealant.
- design assembly.
- Repeated application of the sealant on the seams.
- Removal of excess.
Such damage occurs due to the formation of limescale. To reduce the risk of problems, you should regularly take care of boxing with special detergents.
sink
The only problem that arises with the drain system - clogging. When slack clogged drain water slows down and cope with them will help chemical means or plunger. If it is clogged, these funds do not help, and aggravate the situation.
To resolve this problem, you need to disassemble and clean the water trap. If this does not help, then take apart and wash well have the entire drainage system.
Mixer
Fragile and vulnerable place just shower box. The mixer must be repaired at:
- Wear pads. Regardless of the manufacturing material of these elements rapidly wear due to water and mechanical loads. Special skills for the replacement parts are required.
- Damage to the cartridge. If the water is not covered or poorly mixed, then there is a problem with the cartridge. It will not be difficult to purchase and replace the part yourself.
- Leakage at the joints. This problem is formed by loosening the fastening of connectors or the wear of the seal. In the first case it is necessary to tighten the mounting bolts, and in the second grease seal.
The mixer needs to be replaced with:
- Faulty thermostat.
- The formation of cracks in the mixer.
- Loose fit of the cartridge to the socket.
Wall and frame
The walls of the box and the door crack and break under rough handling - will require replacement of the damaged item.
The metal frame is exposed to rust, so it is important to dry the cabin after each use, and wash surfaces performed with a special detergent.
When the rust to sand the damaged area is covered avtoshpatlevkoy, it is cleaned, degreased, and the top is applied spetsialnuaya paint. If a lot of rust, and it is not removed, the damaged part should be replaced.
Electrics
In cases of failure of this type should seek professional help, because the repair of electronic components - a complex process. When attempting to self-repair the situation could worsen, which could be harmful to all users cabin.
