Today we will talk about how to choose the right shower box for your home. From what materials it is desirable that the equipment is made, and how to fit it into the interior of the bathroom, so as not to disturb the balance in it.

Simple tips

  1. When choosing, you should correctly calculate the dimensions of the room.. We recommend doing this with the help of a drawing on the appropriate scale and after the repair of the bathroom. So you can clearly see where and how you can arrange all the equipment, including the toilet and washbasin.

Tip: for small bathrooms, it is better to pay attention to models with sliding doors, thanks to which you can save much needed space in this case.

  1. The material used for the manufacture of shower box, will also play an important role.
  2. Consider the compactness of the booth.

  1. Do not discount the functionality of the equipment and its resistance to high humidity and sudden changes in temperature..
  2. The design of the box, its ease of use and price are also important..

Design

A standard shower box consists of a pallet, walls and doors. The latter are usually made of polystyrene or glass, the latter option is more preferable, although it is more expensive.

Glass is offered:

  • patterned;
  • tinted;
  • matte.

Pallet is:

  • cast iron;
  • steel;
  • acrylic;
  • ceramic;
  • from artificial marble.

Let's look at the characteristics of each:

Cast iron
  1.  Lasting.
  2. Reliable.
  3. Durable due to wall thickness.

It warms up for a long time, so you have to either take a shower in rubber slippers or leave the hot water turned on for a long time, which has nothing to do with the savings.

Steel
  1. The material is not less durable and reliable.
  2. The weak point is the noise during showering in thin-walled models and the splitting of enamel over time.
Acrylic
  1. Warm.
  2. Light.
  3. Requires a metal frame so as not to sag under the weight of a person.
  4. Caring for him is simple.
Ceramic
  1. Resistant.
  2. Fragile.
  3. Requires careful and careful use.

Products made of artificial marble are more exclusive models. They are very durable and wear resistant to aggressive environments. Care of them does not create problems.

Tip: the internal volume of the shower box should allow free movement. There are no special rules in this case, but the booth should be selected on the basis of the largest family member.

Types of shower boxes

Manufacturers offer the following options:

  1. Shower - a simple cabin with two walls. The remaining two are the walls of the bathroom. Before installing them and the floor on the installation site must be leveled.
  2. Cabin type "Boxing". She already has ready 4th partitions and a special pan.

Boxes can also be equipped with panels for hydromassage, as well as be equipped with the function "bath".

Inspect carefully before buying the selected design. Pay attention to the doors, which should open-close without difficulty, as well as fit tightly to each other and to the walls. There can be no gaps so that water does not get into the room during a shower.

Assemble the equipment will help instruction, which is always included. It should immediately be said that the work is difficult, but it is quite possible to do it yourself. The main thing - do not violate the installation sequence, and it is better to take someone to help for support, especially when the pallet is high.

From the tools you need a wrench to connect the booth to the water and a screwdriver. From additional materials - silicone sealant.

Care

After installation comes the next step - the proper care of the shower box or stall. Of course, there are differences, especially in the first case, when the equipment is actually sealed when not in use. So, if you want a booth that costs a lot of money to serve for a long time, properly care for it.

If you evaluate carefully which room is most often operated, we can safely say that it is a bathroom.

Therefore, here you should especially be careful with your equipment and machinery.

  1. The poor quality of water, which can be a catalyst for problems with imported mixers, is especially depressing. It remains only to try as much as possible to limit its harmful effects on them.

Tip: we recommend to install at the entrance to the box a few pieces of special filters, which should be periodically cleaned or replaced.

  1. After water procedures, wash the tray with a special tool and wipe dry.

  1. Do not leave water drops and soap stains on the doors, wipe them dry. Otherwise, then it will be more difficult to cope with them.
  2. Do not forget to periodically process metal surfaces with special agents that remove plaque from them.
  3. Turn off the built-in lights always after the shower, then their lifespan will increase.

Conclusion

A shower box or a cabin will allow you to expand the functionality of the bathroom, especially when its area is small. When choosing, try to pay more attention to the quality of the materials used in the product, as well as the overall dimensions. Do not forget that only proper care will prolong the operation of the equipment. The video in this article will provide an opportunity to find additional information on the above topic.
