Types of shower cabins
The equipment of the shower bathroom has several options:
- equip one corner shower cabin with glass doors from 2 sides;
- restriction of 3-walls decorated with a tile and a curtain or door input;
- organization of an open space by semicircle or snail with a narrow inlet of glass blocks, plastic modules and other materials;
- the cabin is equipped along the wall and has conditional boundaries - with a washing curtain on a semiconductor ceiling cornice and a deep pallet.
The base of the shower booth can be equipped with different bases - with a pallet or without it. A shower cabin of tile without the finished pallet involves the flooring of the floor in the bathroom with waterproofing, where the drain of water is organized with a bias in the waterborne.
The pallet itself, or the base of the shower cabin, is of different shapes:
- rounded;
- square;
- radial (direct angle plus a quarter of a circle).
Instead of the finished pallet in the corner may be:
- small sitting bath (optimal option);
- homemade pallet from tiles for shower cabin;
- shallow side, laid out with a decorative stone by type of a small pool;
- simple plums in the floor with a slope without limiting space, where it is convenient to enter an older person or enter the disabled person;
- the perimeter limited by the threshold with the "Warm floor" system for a comfortable taking a shower in a cool room.
The floor space that is not limited to the side, it is also convenient for the fact that you can equip several shower, separated by alone curtains or small partitions at the wall.
Tip: It is convenient for large families, especially when most children are engaged in sports and choreography - then you do not need to wait for each other in the morning or in the evening. In addition, the hygiene considerations are very convenient - the entire surface of the floor under several shower departments can be thoroughly rinsed from the hose. This is like a common solution, how to make a shower in public places or equip a sports shower.
Shower Cab without pallet
Before making a shower cabin of a tile without a finished pallet, it is important to understand that:
- this is a convenient option in those places where the pallet is inappropriate;
- alone to equip the place to receive a soul without a pallet is much easier and cheaper;
- it is not necessary to allocate a separate space with re-equipment of the bathroom when the shower is needed for temporary use.
If the house is in the construction process, and all the internal arrangement and finishing is done in stages, then it is possible to limit the temporary shower. While it comes to buying and installing expensive plumbing equipment, it is impossible to live without personal hygiene. As a temporary measure, the pallet from tiles for a shower cabin is quite suitable, where everything is done independently and in the budget scheme. The floor by a slope for the drain, which is called the lad, suggests:
- excellent waterproofing;
- deepening in the floor;
- pipe - for removal of used water into the sewer stock.
This option is also appropriate in combined bathrooms, when it is critical of the place, for example, in "Khrushchev", where there is no place to simultaneously place the bathroom, toilet, sink and a large washing machine.
Such a bathing place has its advantages:
- it is easiest to remove after the shower - slightly rinsed after use, periodically disinfect with chlorine;
- if there are difficulties with movement from one of the family members - it's easy to enter an old man or enter the wheelchair in a wheelchair, and the children will not stumble;
- for obese people, the space for daily washing of the body is not limited, there is no need to sit down or get up onto the pallet if it causes difficulties.
Tip: The simplest shower without a pallet (with a drain) can also be equipped under the ladder of a small cottage, in the workshop or in the corner of the heated garage - in a word, where there is an obvious need for this. Visual example: shower cabin from tile photo.
Shower cabin without pallet do it yourself: where to start?
When equipping the shower cabin is easy to do without a finished pallet, and the installation of the flow into the sewer will be about the same. It is important to correctly arrange:
- inclined surface;
- the threshold in the bathroom (if the drain hole clogs);
- paul searched with ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware or cafeter;
- equip the system with waterproofing;
- to take care that the legs are not cold when taking the soul.
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 home ownership outside the city, an excess of moisture carries a bunch of trouble - in the form of rot, fungi and premature destruction of the entire building.
For this, it is important to observe such a sequence:
- cleaning from the old screed to the concrete base;
- equip waterproofing at least 2-3 layers;
- separate the wall with bitumen mastic;
- mount the inclined drain;
- pour a new screed of the whole room;
- put the wall and floor with a tile;
- mount the flexible shower;
- limit the cabin with glass doors or curtain.
Tip: arrangement of a shower without a finished pallet, the level of waterproofing is made at a sufficient height, up to 15-20 cm, for the case, if emergency flooding occurs. The shower cabin of tiles should be planned on the lower floor, and preferably not above the basement, but with a tap into the sewer through the ground. In the urban apartment, the best option will be shower from the tile without a pallet, but with a small podium, equipped with reliable waterproofing.
Let's talk about equipment
In the shower cabin and abroad, special equipment on the electric drive and various communications can be located. In order not to be traumatic situations due to the use of electrical appliances, the wiring should be hidden, and the rosette can be closed by a cabinet with the doors. Lighting devices are used only with a closed type, and the switches are better to do outside the room. Do not forget about the exhaust fan for the bathroom, the illumination of the soul, the system "warm floor" and other amenities operating from the network.
The shower cabin of the tile with their own hands is equipped with the equipment that seems attractive on the basis of considerations of expediency. For example, if medical reasons have often to go to paid water treatments in the clinic, swimming pool or mud, then the same equipment is easier to install at home. For example, hydromassage equipment under the "Shark Shower" or something like that. Then it will be necessary to pave special communications to start the equipment.
Do not forget about the method of obtaining warm water in the shower:
- centralized feed;
- gas column;
- boiler.
No matter how you equip the shower cabin without a pallet with your own hands, it will take from the strength of a week or two, and on costs - much less than the finished import shower with a pallet. In addition, some devices have to do additionally. It can be significantly saved on hired work if the hands have construction skills, and technology is known.
Tip: Any equipment need to be planned before the start of construction and finishing work so as not to damage the waterproofing or not to redo the tile filling.
Sounds of mounting the simplest pallet from tile
If it seems that shower without a pallet with a tiled facing, it is very simple, then this is a deceptive impression. The better and more reliable everything is equipped, the more similar to the usual floor, and the multi-level system like a puff cake is hidden inside.
Under the layer of concrete shlicht, there may be a slab of overlapping or other lower layer, on top of it - thermal insulation. Above foam plastic or other insulation - 2 layers of concrete with a layer of reliable waterproofing. Based on the length of the drain into the sewer and the characteristics of the nozzle, deaeration may be required, that is, the removal of air coming with water. The air deaeration pipe is derived from the system assigned from the siphon. Shower with a ladder (drained without pallet) in the floor, trimmed with tiles, it seems simple, but concise.
The "warm floor" system, equipped with a special heating cable "Nexans" is very convenient. It is not necessary to worked for the fact that the cable passes in the floor, it has a well-designed 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 included in advance or equip the presence sensor purchased with the cable.
It is important that the plumbing is equipped with a bathroom, and if it is old rusty pipes - it's time to change them to more reliable plastic communications. The plumbing system is better to hide in the wall under the tile, and for the sewage to provide a special revision hatch to have access to 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 service life and raise the level of comfort in the bathroom.
After mounting the plumbing and all equipment, the remaining walls to treat moisture-resistant plaster or in any other way to increase the waterproofing of the bathroom. The tile is placed on top of the reinforcing mesh fixing the moisture-resistant plaster.
Podium pallet with their own hands
When choosing the design of the shower cabin from the tile, it is important not only what the material is 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 inclined plums in the floor, already mentioned, but there are a lot of adherents that instead of the finished pallet, a small podium can be equipped. The pallet laid out of a brick with a facing mosaic for the pool will look like a mini-pool - a photo as an example.
The advantage of self-calculation of the pallet also in the fact that it can be done any form:
- in the form of steps;
- with comfortable seat;
- the bottom can be decorated with natural materials - shells, pebbles and strangulated marble.
Podium pallet is laid out of the brick, but it should get a reinforcing bundle with adjacent walls. This construction is designed to limit the spread of water on the floor of the bathroom. The placement of the podium pallet in the corner behind the rods or glass door in the form of a cabin is the optimal option. The elevation should not be high, but the pallet is maximally supplied with all layers of waterproofs, which are described above. That is, on the bitumen mastic on top of the concrete slab 2-3 layers of a screed with a waterproofing layer, you can add liquid glass into concrete, it is important to provide heat insulation or insulation of the pallet. When forming the surface, do not forget about the difference in the slope so that water flows into the sewage hole.
The height of the side is chosen arbitrarily, depending on the idea, and if the construction performs the function of the seating, then be sure to make 1-2 steps to the podium. Brick or foam concrete - it does not matter, it is enough to do with a light hollow building material, which will provide a stable and reliable design of the trapse of tiles.
Facing shower
Preparation of walls treated with bitumen mastic, assumes the processing of walls by moisture-resistant plaster, where you can add liquid glass. This layer is reinforced by the grid, and the mosaic tile for the pool, tile, ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles is laid out on this layer. Do not forget to make a high-quality stipping of seams, which will serve as an additional hydraulic protection. In such cases, preference is preferred by silicone-based sealant.
After that, on the edge of the podium adjacent to the wall, you can lay a special border from a tile or flexible border tape for a bath, which will retain the design from the flow of the wall. After that, on top of the cladding tiles, the holder for the shower is fixed, the shelf for soap and shampoos, towel holders and other fittings. If someone has problems with equilibrium in the family, the shower is equipped with special comfortable handles, and the pallet is put on a rug counter-slip.
Doors on homemade shower
The last stage of work in the design of the shower cabin made of tiles with their own hands will be the washing curtain on a special ceiling cornice or glass door. As an option - the door of an eraser or other washing material, which can be purchased in the finished form or do it yourself. If someone confuses the transparent door in the shower, then you can make it from:
- matte glass;
- corrugated;
- with sandblasting pattern;
- stained glass or with a bulk pattern.
The finished canvas of the doors are ordered from a glazed in the required dimensions, it is desirable from thick glass of a durable hardening - for reliability. In the same way, the end slice of the rectangular door, and the thickness of the glass is selected in the building store Special fastening - chains-hinges and spivelets for fastening in the floor and traffic limit. Do not forget about the door handle on both sides of the shower - openings. Book in the glass workshop at a convenient altitude.
Tip: If you failed to get a special glass, then the usual transparent can be decorated with a special film, such as stained or mirror. Incidentally, the mirror film provides another advantage - in the shower one feels hidden from prying eyes, while outside there is an opportunity to freshen up in the full-length mirror. Such an option will be much cheaper than buying a mirror in the bathroom alone.
