Basics of design
In order to choose the competent design of bathrooms with showers, you should visually divide the existing room into zones. One of them will include furniture items, the second is a bathroom, and the third is directly a shower. In order to separate one zone from the other, many techniques are used, for example, the distribution of sections of the room by color scheme or using lighting.
If the bathroom has a rather large area, then here you can place various decor elements-armchairs, couchs, wardrobes, baskets for linen, etc. However, keep in mind that the bathroom is a room with high humidity, so all the furniture installed here. should be made of moisture -resistant materials. As for the flooring, it should be made not only from materials resistant to moisture, but also from those that exclude the fall (non -operational coatings).
As for the color design of the bathroom with a shower, according to designers, the best options here are:
- Light green.
- Directly blue.
- Pale yellow.
- Beige.
- Pink.
- Light gray.
- Lilac.
- White.
You can not use dark shades during the design, they will make the bathroom visually smaller. In addition, such a room will look rather gloomy.
Most often, the walls of the bathroom, in which there are showers, are finished with the following materials:
- Moisture -resistant drywall.
- Natural and artificial stone.
- Ceramic or glass tiles.
- Plastic panels.
For a visual increase in space in the bathroom, you can install mirrors. Usually they are placed on one or more walls, most often above the washbasin. Sometimes the walls are finished with mirror tiles.
The ceiling in the bathroom with a shower can be covered with water -based paint, linked with waterproof plasterboard or plastic panels. Those who prefer natural materials can be finished with wood with wood. But keep in mind that the material should undergo processing with special mixtures that prevent its deformation.
Types of showers
Shower cabins, depending on their design, are:
- Open. The design of such a cabin does not provide for the presence of a roof. The pallet here is fenced around the perimeter of the walls.
- Closed. As the name implies, there is a roof in the design of such showers, in addition, there are 3 (if the cabin is corner) or 4 walls enclosing the pallet around the perimeter.
Patins in showers are similarly to several types. Depending on their shape, pallets are distinguished:
- Flat.
- Deep.
- Small.
Depending on the material of manufacture, the pallets are:
- Cast iron.
- Acrylic.
- Ceramic.
Today, cabins without a pallet are quite popular. They fit perfectly into the interior of small bathrooms. In this case, the base of the booth is lined with the same material that is faced and the floor in the bathroom. Thanks to this, you can visually expand the space of the bathroom. Sometimes to ensure the comfort of the residents of the house, the floors are made warm. Thus, draining water will dry faster. The floor in such bathrooms is equipped with a small slope to ensure a convenient flow of water. Structures without a pallet will be very convenient for people with disabilities who can easily enter a wheelchair into the booth.
As for showers with a deep pallet, they have similar advantages. So, a spacious deep pallet can be used as a bath for bathing a child or as a container for washing linen.
Options for the location of showers
When choosing a place for placing a shower cabin, estimate the size of the bathroom. There are several ways to locate:
- Corner showers. They allow the maximum to save the useful area of \u200b\u200bthe bathroom. Acceptable for small rooms.
- Separately standing booths. This option is available only in a large bathroom.
- Showers attached to the wall. This method is acceptable for bathrooms of medium size.
When giving a particular option for the location of the shower cabin, remember that the most comfortable bathroom can only be done if all interior items are in harmony with each other.
DIY shower room
Before installing the shower cabin, you should familiarize yourself with some rules:
- Before mounting the booth, electricity, water and sewer should be carried out to the installation site.
- All joints and places of connection of parts must be treated with sealant. The mixture usually dries after 20-24 hours.
- If you have little experience in installation work, it is better to seek help from specialists.
Stages of installation work:
- We bring the drain hose to the sewage. Joints should be stacked. Install sealing gasket. We coat the joints in the silicone mixture.
- A knot designed for runoff is fixed using screws.
- We proceed to the installation of the pallet. Initially, fix the brackets on the walls. They are designed to fasten the pallet and usually come with a shower.
- The places in which the pallet will be adjacent to sewage runoff should be carefully seized. On the plum, we fix the gaskets.
- We install the pallet on previously fixed brackets. It is easy to do this. Typically, a schematic instruction is included with a shower.
- We install the side panels on the pallet.
- In places where the cabin doors will be placed, we install the guides. All joints and places of connection of parts should be well sealed.
- A roof is installed if it is a closed cabin. We seal the joints. We are waiting for the complete drying of the mixture (it will take 20-24 hours).
- We check the work of all electric system systems (ventilation, lighting, etc.).
- Adjust and set the doors of the cabin in level. We attach a decorative panel. On this, we consider the installation work complete.
