Device

To begin with, let's see what elements the shower corners consist of 90 by 90:

Pallet

Type of Beam height limit, cm Special features
Small Up to 4.5 They are an excellent solution for homes and apartments where elderly or disabled people live.
Average 4.5-10 The presence of a small side prevents splashing of water outside the shower during its operation.
Deep More than 10 Can be used as a bath for the baby or a convenient container for hand washing.

Tip: in private homes, a fairly common option is to arrange a drain hole directly in the floor, which allows you to do without a pan, saving on this part of the shower corner.

For the manufacture of this element of the shower can be used several types of materials:

Expensive stone pallets

It should be noted that the area occupied by the shower corner also depends on the size of the shower tray. The 90 cm side is in this sense the most optimal, since such a structure will freely fit inside an adult and at the same time will not overly block the bathroom space.

Also often there are shower corners 120 by 90 cm, which fit perfectly into a larger bathroom.

And for a very small room, on the contrary, the shortened shower corner 70x90 is suitable.

A shower corner of 80 by 90 cm will allow you to win some more free space.

Wall and door

Corner, as the name implies, has no rear walls and, in fact, most often consists of a single wall and door system.

Their material does not differ by a special variety and, as a rule, is presented by two options:

  1. Glass. It is necessary to highlight a few advantages:
    • High strength, which is acquired by the glass after the hardening procedure.
    • Attractive, airy appearance that does not create a crushing sense of bulkiness.
    Glass shower angle 90x90 cm
      • Ease of care.

      There are also some disadvantages:

      • Relatively high cost.
      • Sufficiently large weight that delivers some difficulties in the process of installation work. This is especially felt when going shower 90x120.
      1. Plastic. This is much cheaper and lighter material, which makes it especially popular in the arrangement of country houses. But he also needs more thorough care.

      It is worth noting that both glassware and plastic can be frosted, tinted or covered with drawings. This allows you to expand the design possibilities in the design of the bathroom.

      The doors apart from the material also differ depending on the opening system:

      1. Swing. A more familiar and classic version in which the canvas is hinged and opens with a turning movement outwards or inwards. But in the case of external opening, it is necessary to take into account the presence of sufficient free space in front of the shower, which is not always convenient.
      Swing doors - the usual classic
      1. Sliding. In this case, the canvas is installed on rollers and at the time of opening it goes to the side, which is more convenient in close bathrooms.

      Required attributes of the shower system are:

      The rest of the equipment can be added at your discretion, but it, by itself, will increase the total cost of the shower angle.

      Advantages and disadvantages

      As you can see, the device of a shower corner is incredibly simple and includes, in fact, three elements. Based on this, the following positive aspects of such a design can be noted:

      Merits

      1. Financial savings. The lack of rear walls and roof significantly reduce the cost of the final configuration.
      2. Simple assembly instruction. Again, the smaller the parts, the simpler the installation.
      3. Intensive ventilation. The absence of the upper dome allows air to move freely around the inside of the shower, minimizing the possibility of fungi and mildew.

      1. Ease of care You only need to monitor the condition of the wall, door and pallet.
      2. Optimal functionality. With all its simplicity, the shower corner fully performs its main task, providing the user with the opportunity to comfortably receive the necessary water procedures.
      3. Space saving. 90 to 90 cm is the optimal size for the shower compartment, which allows the majority of the bathroom to be used for other needs.

      disadvantages

      The disadvantage is the lack of complete tightness. Dampness of the shower will spread around the room, so you need to take care of waterproofing its surfaces in advance.

      Conclusion

      A shower angle of 90 to 90 cm has all the necessary functions, but it does not take up much space and costs less than a full-fledged cabin. Its installation is also much easier.
