The pallet in the shower is needed in order not to rotate the floor. You can buy it ready in the store, but they have several drawbacks. So, acrylic, for example, very quickly deteriorate, they are easy to scratch and after a while they turn yellow. Ceramic or marble pallets are considered durable, but also the price of them corresponds to quality. Of the steel - very noisy and at Skola enamel, they will rust.
The benefits of the pallet that is made with their own hands:

Variants of pallets

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

In addition to the sizes, the pallets also differ in the forms. They are both angular and oval or rectangular. Angle mounted in the corner of the room, and the rest can be placed wherever you want. There are also deep shower pallets and low ones. And he, and other wonderfully copes with their duties, the main thing here is the convenience of operation.

For example, elderly people will be more convenient to use low-sided shower pallets.

Another distinction is that low designs as installed in one place, so they are there, and deeply installed on the metal framework and if necessary, you can move it to get to the hidden communications.

Device homemade pallet

At the pallet for the soul, which is made at home, usually has:

1. The base of the concrete, on which there is a tile of ceramics.
2. A wall that is on the outer circuit, it serves as an obstacle to water.
3. Inside the base is a ladder, it is designed to divert water into the sewer.
4. The bottom consists of a surface with four edges, there is a slope to the ladder.
5. Concrete base is processed by a special composition, which includes cement. This composition serves as waterproofing.
6. The tile lays with the help of waterproof glue, and the seams are processed by grouting.
7. It is advisable to put along the walls of the room folded twice the rubberoid, thus, the contact of the water with the floor will be limited.

Before the construction of the pallet

Before making a shower tray, you need to set the drain of water in the room, for this, the shower ladder is installed and the pipes to the total sewage are packed.
Pay attention to the floor in the bathroom, it must necessarily create as much as possible. Preferably concrete. In general, if in the bathroom in the future you need to put a shower cabin with a pallet, then during construction you need to immediately take care of a good concrete field. Because the wooden floors in such premises will not serve for a long time.
There are two ways to install route:

1. Before filling the main floor layer with a concrete mixture. In this case, the installation of the sewage is easily carried out easily, you need to carry out the tap sewage, 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, you need to act in circumstances, if you can, then hide, but no - it is left to leave.

Concrete shower pallet

To create a pallet you need to carry out such work:

1. Install drain pipes and ladder.

2. Put a folded twice runner along the walls and make a screed. Thickness to choose such that and with cladding of the floor with ceramics, the level of clean floors is preserved. And exactly in terms of the level, from the concrete screed to make the top of the finished body.

3. Wall to build from drywall with moisture resistance.

4. Install the formwork, for it to take the boards, the thickness of which is 4 cm, and packeroid along its walls, folded twice. All fixes and connections are performed using self-tapping and nails, steel corners. Formwork must be fixed very reliably, otherwise when pouring concrete, it can lose its shape.

5. When pouring concrete, it should be borne in mind that the floor will be tilted toward the hole for the drain, and the pallet walls will be erected.

6. Leave the pallet on the day, and when it grab slightly, you need to install more formwork boards, now for the construction of the walls of the fence. All wall parameters are selected individually to the owner.

7. Install the upper sleeve for sealing into the ladder and pour the wall formwork concrete.

8. A day after a day, formwork to remove and pull the bottom with tetrahedral surfaces, taking into account the slope in the side of the plum. The slope is made approximately, in the future tile and glue, you can fill the floor.

9. After drying the concrete, it is necessary to cut the extra runneroid and process the entire surface of the pallet with the help of mastic and primer.

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

11. Make cladding tiles from ceramics with waterproof glue.

12. Seared seams by grouting with the effect of water repulsion.

13. To fit the drain grille to the tile, you need to trim the sealing sleeve to the specified height.

14. Walls and gender to bind the same way and the same tools and materials.

Facing a shower pallet tiled and mosaic

Materials for the pallet:

1. Mosaic or floor tile.
2. Putty knife.
3. Level
4. Roulette
5. Water-repellent glue.
6. Bulgarian.
7. Construction knife.
8. Grout and crosses for seams.

Proceedings:

1. Prepare adhesive mixture. Exact proportions and recommendations need to be found on the package from the manufacturer. And you can interfere with a drill with a special nozzle "Mixer".
2. Tile laid from the corner. So that the laying was high-quality, a mixture of glue needs to be applied with a spatula with cloth, then put the tile on the glue and pick it up.
3. To adjust the level, you can use the rubber hammer. They are tangled in different places on the tile. How even the seams are obtained can be determined using crosses.
4. After you laid all the tile, apply a special water repellent mixture on the seams. They prepare it with small portions and rub in the seams with a rubber spatula.
5. Rinse all the tile with a damp cloth so that there is no rapid material. The reverse side of the spatula is designed to make all the seams are the same.
6. After all the works are completed, you need to quickly wipe the tile and wipe dry.
