Cabins with steel or aluminum frame

The product has a metal frame.

  1. Water barrels and tanks of structures may have a different volume, ranging from 70 liters to 200. At the same time, it should be noted that for a single wash one person needs on average about 50 - 70 liters of water.

In such a structure, it is difficult for an average-sized adult to take water procedures. They are more suitable for children and small people. All other users will be comfortable cabin from 90? 90 cm.
  3. If you are going to put the shower inside the bathroom, which has a small size, choose a structure with sliding doors. So you save space. So that the booth served as long as possible, the model should have metal, not plastic rollers.
  4. The pallet is an essential element of the soul. It can be made of steel, acrylic, cast iron, ceramics or artificial stone.

The last option is the most expensive. It heats up quickly, keeps warm for a long time, is very durable and resistant to damage. Metal bowls are durable, but cold. Ceramic analogues are the most aesthetic.

  2. To eliminate the risk of injury, purchase a pallet with anti-slip (embossed) surface.
