The arrangement of the bathroom involves the presence of a bath or shower, or you can install one thing if the area of \u200b\u200bthe room allows. A good shower cabin and its installation will cost a lot, but there are many alternative options for how to make a shower. This will require a tool, construction skills and a minimum of plumbing equipment for driving water to the sewer. A shower cabin of tiles without a finished pallet is the most economical option.

Types of showers
The equipment of the bathroom has several options:
- equip a shower cabin with glass doors in one corner from 2 sides;
- restriction of 3 walls finished with tiles, and entering the curtain or door;
- organization of an unmarked space with a semicircle or snail with a narrow entrance from glass blocks, plastic modules and other materials;
- the booth is equipped along the wall and has conditional boundaries - with a washing curtain on a semicircular ceiling cornice and a deep tray.
The base of the shower can be equipped with a different basis - with or without a tray. A shower cabin of tiles without a finished pallet involves the arrangement of the floor in the bathroom with waterproofing, where the drainage of water is organized with a slope into the water collector.
The pallet itself, or the base of the shower cabin is of different shapes:
- rounded;
- square;
- radial (right angle plus a quarter circle).
Instead of a finished pallet in the corner, there may be:
- small sitting bath (optimal option);
- homemade pallet for shower tiles;
- shallow side lined with a decorative stone like a small pool;
- a simple drain in the floor with a slope without limiting space, where it is convenient to enter an elderly person or enter a disabled person;
- the perimeter limited by the threshold with the “warm floor” system for comfortable acceptance of the shower in a cool room.
The floor space, which is not limited by the side, is also convenient in the fact that in this way you can equip several showers, delimited by one curtains or small partitions against the wall.
Tip: This is convenient for large families, especially when most children are playing sports and choreography - then you do not need to wait for each other in the morning or evening. In addition, for hygiene reasons, this is very convenient - the entire surface of the floor under several shower departments can be thoroughly washed from the hose. This is like a common solution how to make a shower in public places or equip a sports shower.
Shower cabin
Before making a shower of tiles without a finished pallet, it is important to understand that:
- this is a convenient option in those places where the pallet is impractical;
- independently equipping a place for receiving a shower without a pallet is much easier and cheaper;
- it is not required to allocate a separate space with the re -equipment of the bathroom, when the shower cabin is needed for temporary use.
If the house is in the process of construction, and all internal arrangement and decoration is done in stages, then you can limit yourself to a temporary shower. So far, it comes to the purchase and installation of expensive plumbing equipment, it is impossible to live without personal hygiene. As a temporary measure, a pallet of shower tiles is quite suitable, where everything is done independently and according to the budget scheme. The floor with a slope for the drain, which is called a ladder, suggests:
- excellent waterproofing;
- deepening in the floor;
- the pipe is to drain the used water into the sewer.
This option is also appropriate in combined bathrooms, when there is critically enough space, for example, in Khrushchevki, where there is nowhere to simultaneously place a bathroom, toilet, a sink and a large washing machine.
Such a place for bathing has its advantages:
- the easiest way to remove after the shower is to rinse slightly after use, periodically disinfect the chlorine;
- if there are difficulties with the movement of one of the family members, it is easy to enter the old man or enter the wheelchair, and the children will not stumble;
- for obese people, the space for daily wash of the body is not limited, there is no need to sit down or stand on the pallet, if it causes difficulties.
Tip: the simplest shower without a pallet (with a stock) can also be equipped under the stairs of a small cottage, in a workshop or in the corner of a heated garage - in a word, where there is an obvious need for this. A good example: a shower cabin of tile photo.
A shower cabin without a pallet with your own hands: where to start?
When equipping the shower cabin, it is easy to do without a finished pallet, and the installation of drain into the sewer will be approximately the same. It is important to correctly arrange:
- inclined surface;
- threshold in the bathroom (if the drain hole is clogged);
- floor with ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles or tiles;
- equip the system with waterproofing;
- to make sure that the legs are not cold when taking the shower.
High -quality waterproofing for the floor of the bathroom is especially important in apartment buildings or multi -storey buildings. But even if it is a private household outside the city, an excess of moisture carries a bunch of troubles - in the form of rot, fungi and premature destruction of the entire building.
For this, it is important to observe the following sequence:
- cleaning from the old screed to a concrete base;
- equip waterproofing, at least 2-3 layers;
- decorate the walls with bitumen mastic;
- mount an inclined drain;
- pour a new screed of the whole room;
- lay out the walls and floor with tiles;
- mount a flexible shower;
- limit the booth with glass doors or a curtain.
Tip: arranging a shower without a finished pallet, the level of waterproofing is made to a sufficient height, up to 15-20 cm, for the case of emergency flooding. A shower cabin made of tiles should be planned on the lower floor, and preferably not above the basement, but with the withdrawal to the sewer through the soil. In a city apartment, the best option would be a shower from a tile without a pallet, but with a small podium equipped with reliable waterproofing.
Let's talk about equipment
In the shower cabin and beyond, special equipment on the electric drive and various communications can be located. So that there are no traumatic situations due to the use of electrical appliances, the wiring should be hidden, and the outlet can be closed with a hinged cabinet with doors. Lighting devices are used only closed type, and switches are better to make the room outside. Do not forget about the fan fan for the bathroom, the shower backlight, the "warm floor" system and other amenities running from the network.
A shower cabin of tiles with your own hands is equipped with those equipment that seems attractive based on considerations of expediency. For example, if for medical reasons you often have to go to paid water procedures to the clinic, pool or mud, then it is easier to install the same equipment at home. For example, hydromassage equipment for "shower of Charcot" or something similar. Then you will need to lay special communications for launching equipment.
Do not forget about the method of obtaining warm water in the shower:
- centralized feed;
- gas column;
- boiler.
No matter how you equip a shower cabin without a pallet with your own hands, it will take it on the force for a week or two, and in costs it is much less than a ready-made imported shower cabin with a pallet. In addition, some devices have to be done additionally. You can significantly save on hired work if the hands have construction skills, and the technology is known.
Tip: Any equipment must be planned before the start of construction and finishing work so as not to damage the waterproofing or not to redo the cladding with tiles.
Subtleties of mounting the simplest tile pallet
If it seems that a shower without a pallet with a tile lining is very simple, then this is a deceptive impression. The better and more reliable everything is equipped, the more it looks like a regular floor, and a multi -level system like a puff pie is hidden inside.
Under a layer of concrete slalikh, there may also be an overlap plate or the other lower layer, on top of it - thermal insulation. Above the foam or other insulation - 2 layers of concrete with a layer of reliable waterproofing. Based on the length of the layering into the sewer and the features of the pipe, a dearation may be required, that is, the excretion of air coming with water. The dearation pipe is excreted from the system discharged from the siphon. A shower with a ladder (drain without a pallet) in the floor, trimmed with tiles, looks simple, but concisely.
The "warm floor" system, equipped with a special heating cable "Nessans" is very convenient. Do not worry about the fact that the cable takes place in the floor, it has a well -thought -out waterproofing and a closed type of connection. In addition, the warming area is quite limited, and the temperature will never be excessively high. It can be turned on in advance or equipped with a presence sensor purchased along with the cable.
It is also important what plumbing the bathroom is equipped, and if it is old rusty pipes - it's time to change them to more reliable plastic communications. It is better to hide the water system in the wall under the tile, and for the sewage, provide a special revision hatch so that there is access for emergency cleaning.
Tip: if you put metal pipes, remember the condensate that attracts dampness. Cover them with two layers of heat -saving paint to increase the life and raise the level of comfort in the bathroom.
After the installation of plumbing and all equipment, it is important to treat the rest of the walls with moisture-resistant plaster or in any other way to increase the waterproofing of the bathroom. The tile is laid on top of the reinforcing mesh that fixes moisture -resistant plaster.
DIY
When choosing the design of a shower cabin made of tiles, it is important not only what material will be faced with a place for the adoption of water procedures, but also a form of base. About how the shower is equipped without a pallet with an inclined drain in the floor, it has already been said, but there are many adherents of the fact that instead of a ready -made pallet, you can equip a small podium. A pallet laid out of brick with a lining for a mosaic for the pool will look like a mini-basin-a photo as an example.
The advantage of independent lining of the pallet is also that it can be made of any form:
- in the form of steps;
- with a convenient seat;
- the bottom can be decorated with natural materials - shells, pebbles and polished marble.
The pallet is laid out of brick, but it should get a reinforcing ligament with adjacent walls. This structure is designed to limit the spreading of water on the floor of the bathroom. Placing a podium pallet in the corner behind the rods or a glass door in the form of a cabin is the best option. The elevation should not be high, but the pallet is supplied as much as possible with all layers of water protection, which are described above. That is, on the bituminous mastic on top of the concrete slab, 2-3 layers of screed with a waterproofing layer, you can add liquid glass to the concrete, it is important to provide thermal insulation or insulation of the pallet. When forming the surface, do not forget about the difference in the slope so that the water drains into the sewer.
The height of the side is selected arbitrarily, depending on the idea, and if the structure performs the function of the seat, then it is imperative to make 1-2 steps to the catwalk. Brick or foam concrete - it doesn’t matter whether it is enough to do with a light hollow building material, which will provide a stable and reliable design of the pallet for cladding tiles.
Facing the shower cabin
Preparation of walls treated with bitumen mastic involves the processing of walls with moisture -resistant plaster, where you can add liquid glass. This layer is reinforced with a net, and a mosaic tile for the pool, tiles, ceramic tiles or ceramic granite is laid out on this layer. Do not forget to make a high -quality grout of the seams after laying the tiles, which will serve as additional water protection. In such cases, they prefer a silicone -based sealant.
After that, along the edge of the podium adjacent to the wall, you can lay a special border from a tile or a flexible border tape for a bathtub, which will preserve the structure from flowing against the wall. After that, on top of the cladding with tiles, a shower holder, a shelf for soap and shampoos, holders for towels and other accessories are fixed. If anyone has equilibrium problems in the family, showering will be equipped with special comfortable handles, and a rug that opposes slipping is placed on the pallet.
Doors on a homemade shower
The last step in the design of a shower booth from tiles with your own hands will be a washing curtain on a special ceiling cornice or a glass door. As an option - a door from an eraser or other detergent material, which can be purchased in a finished form or make it yourself. If someone is embarrassed by the transparent door in the shower, then you can make it from:
- matte glass;
- corrugated;
- with a sandblasting pattern;
- color glass or with a voluminous pattern.
The finished canvas of the doors is ordered from the glass according to the required dimensions, preferably from thick glass of solid hardening - for reliability. There they will also stoop the end cut of the rectangular door, and in the thickness of the glass a special mount is selected in the construction store-sabotage-shawls and spinagals for fastening in the floor and a movement limiter. Do not forget about the door handle on both sides of the shower cabin - order the holes in a glass workshop at a convenient height.
Tip: If you could not get a special glass, then the usual transparent can be decorated with a special film, for example, stained glass or mirror. By the way, a mirror film gives another advantage - in a shower, a person feels hidden from prying eyes, and outside there is an opportunity to put himself in order at the mirror in full height. This option will cost much cheaper than buying a mirror to the bathroom separately.
