How to make a shower trash with your own hands

You can make a good shower pan with your own hands without special professional skills. Thus, you will save money that would go to the store product and will be sure of the quality of the design.

Application of the pallet

The pallet in the shower is needed so that the floor does not rot. You can buy it ready in the store, but they have several disadvantages. So, acrylic, for example, spoil very quickly, they are easy to scratch and after a while they turn yellow. Ceramic or marble pallets are considered strong, but their price corresponds to quality. Of the steel - very noisy and with an enamel chip, they will rust.
The advantages of the pallet made by yourself:

• long operation;
• ease of care and use;
• the ability to make a pallet of the required non -standard shape so that it fit into the bathroom;
• you can choose any design;
• relatively inexpensive cost of materials;
• pride for his work.

Podon options

As a rule, most pallets have standard sizes, but there are deviations from the norm. It can be of two options: with equal sides and unequal. Equilateral pallets usually have dimensions of 80x80 cm, 90x90cm, 1x1 m and 1.2x1.2 m. In structures with unequal sides, dimensions are usually a multiple of 10 mm. Size options: 10x120 cm, 90x120 cm, 100x150 cm. Therefore, you can choose a pallet for almost any bathroom or bath.

In addition to sizes, pallets also differ in forms. They are both angular and oval or rectangular. Corner are mounted in the corner of the room, and the rest can be placed where you want. There are also deep showers and low. Both of them and the other are remarkably cope with their duties, the main thing here is the convenience of operation.

For example, older people will be more convenient to use shower trays with low sides. But deep ones are usually placed in those cabins that have large sizes and are also designed for bathing in a half -sitting position. Another difference is that the low structures were installed in one place, so they are there, and the deep ones are installed on a metal frame and, if necessary, it can be shifted to get to hidden communications.

A homemade pallet device

The shower shackle, which is made at home, usually has:

1. The base is concrete on which lies tiles of ceramics.
2. The wall that is located on the outer circuit, it serves as an obstacle to water.
3. Inside the base there is a ladder, it is intended to take water to the sewer.
4. The bottom consists of a surface with four faces, there is a slope to the ladder.
5. The concrete base is processed with a special composition, which includes cement. This composition serves as waterproofing.
6. The tile is laid using waterproof glue, and the seams are treated with grout.
7. It is advisable to put along the walls of the room twice the roofing roofing roofing room, thus, the contact of the water with the floor will be limited.

Prior to the construction of the pallet

Before making a shower pallet, you need to install water drainage in the room, for this a shower lamp is installed and pipes are laid to a common sewage system.
Pay attention to the floor in the bathroom, it must be mandatory as hard as possible. Preferably concrete. In general, if in the bathroom in the future it is necessary to put a shower with a tray, then during construction you need to immediately take care of a good concrete field. Because wooden floors in such rooms will not serve for a long time.
There are two ways to install a ramp:

1. Before filling the main layer of the floor with a concrete mixture. In this case, the installation of the sewage system in a hidden way to carry out easily, it is necessary to carry out a divery sewer, under the floor of the room.
2. When the floor is ready. In this case, it is impossible to hide the pipes for sewage. Perhaps the pipe will be above the floor. In any case, it is necessary to act according to circumstances, if possible, then hide, but no - so leave on top.

Shower

To create a pallet, you need to carry out the following work:

1. Install drain pipes and ladder.

2. Put the folded roofing material along the walls and make a screed. Choose the thickness of such, so that with ceramics lining, the level of clean floors is preserved. And exactly in level, make the top of the finished case from the concrete screed.

3. Build the walls of drywall with moisture resistance.

4. Install the formwork, take boards for it, the thickness of which is 4 cm, and lay along its walls a roofing material folded twice. Carry out all consolidations and connections using screws and nails, steel corners. The formwork must be fixed very reliably, otherwise when pouring concrete, it can lose its shape.

5. When pouring concrete, it must be borne in mind that the floor will be tilted towards the opening for draining, and the protective walls of the pallet will also be built.

6. Leave the pallet for the day, and when it grabs slightly, you need to install another formwork boards, now for the construction of the walls of the fence. All walls of the walls are selected individually by the owner.

7. Install the upper sleeve for sealing into the ladder and pour concrete of the walls of the walls.

8. In a day, remove the formwork and pull the bottom with tetrahedral surfaces, given the slope to the side of the drain. The slope is done approximately, in the future tiles and glue, it will be possible to trim the floor.

9. After the concrete dries, you need to cut an excess roofing material and treat the entire surface of the pallet using mastic and primer.

10. On the top of the waterproofing, apply a layer of concrete contact so that the glue grabs better.

11. Make cladding with ceramic tiles with waterproof glue.

12. Switch seams with grout with the effect of pushing water.

13. To adjust the drain grill to the tile, you need to cut the sealing sleeve into a given height.

14. The walls and floor are lined with the same way and the same tools and materials.
