Shower cabins with a high pallet 100x100 cm: design features
Shower cabins are increasingly entering our life, complementing or completely replacing the usual bath. But what is the size for such equipment considered the most optimal? In this article we will look at square models with a side of 100 cm and a deep tray.
Design
In order to note the advantages that the shower cabin has with a high pallet of 100 by 100 cm, let's start with the features of its structure:
| Identification on the image | Fragment name |
| one | Deep tray with a high side |
| 2 | Back walls connected in one common l-shaped panel |
| 3 | Roof top covering |
| four | Door Guide Profiles |
| five | Vertical frame supporting elements |
| 6 | Sliding doors |
| 7 | The apron of the basis closing the brought communications |
If the cabin has four corners, another side wall appears, which, as a rule, is made in the same style as the door. The doors themselves may have different opening systems:
Doors
| Door name by type of opening | Description |
| Swinging | The construction is familiar to us, which is similar to the entrance and interior doors of any apartment or house. Here the canvas is mounted on hinges and opens to the outside or inside of the cabin. |
| Sliding | In this case, the door leaf of the shower stall, when opened, slides off to the side on special rollers along the installed guides. |
Tip: when using a swing door that opens to the outside, make sure that there is enough free space in front of the cabin. Otherwise, you simply can not get inside.
It is also noteworthy that hinged doors most often have shower cabins with a low 100 x 100 cm tray.
What can the doors and walls of the shower compartment be made of?
Let's get a look:
- Tempered glass. In the process of manufacturing, the process of hardening takes place, which guarantees the finished product high strength characteristics. It is also worth this material stands out for its aesthetics and ease of care, but its price is correspondingly high.
- Plastic. Enough brands and does not have high strength, but it is cheap and easy to install with your own hands due to its low weight.
Pallets
The shape of the base in our case can be either completely square, or with one rounded corner, which allows it to fit perfectly into the corner of the room, aesthetically complementing it.
The same material in the manufacture of shower trays used the following:
- Acrylic. It has a very wide range of forms, long operational life, easy to clean and aesthetically pleasing. But it does not have a reinforcing layer, which makes it necessary to show additional measures to prevent it from getting mechanical damage.
Tip: It is recommended to install acrylic products on stainless steel frames to prevent them from cracking as a result of the pressure of the weight of an adult.
- Cast iron. Durable and durable, as well as heavy and monotonous. Today they can be met not often.
- Enamelled steel. It also has high mechanical resistance, but the lack of absorption of noise and the fragility of the layer of protective enamel do not add popularity to this material.
- Ceramics. Attractive appearance and ease of care are advantages. Cons - this is a rather big cost and the possibility of obtaining mechanical damage.
- A natural stone. Tremendous beauty, high resistance to mechanical stress and long operational life are darkened only by a very high price.
Tip: if you definitely want a stone foundation, but finances do not allow you to purchase its deep version, then you should consider shower cabins with a low 70x100 tray. In their design of such an expensive material, a minimum quantity is used, and, therefore, the price is much more affordable.
Selection features
Now let's summarize the advantages of a square construction with a side of 100 cm and a high side:
- Optimal combination of external compactness and internal space. That is, such a cabin will not take up too much space in the bathroom and at the same time comfortably accommodate an adult.
- The ease of overall planning. The object of one square meter is very convenient to place in any room.
- Simple assembly instruction. The small dimensions of all components allow you to handle the installation work yourself.
- Ability to use as a bath. Deep square pan copes with this role, especially when it comes to bathing a child.
Conclusion
As you can see, the purchase of a 100 per 100 cm shower stall with a high tray will be the most rational, since it is such dimensions that will allow compactly positioning it in the bathroom and at the same time will not be inconvenient when taking water procedures. High sides will allow to use it even as a bathroom.
