Built-in shower - some important features of this type of

The built-in shower system is a relatively new type of communications, which many buyers know very little about and therefore do not rush to install them, fearing that in the event of a fault, repairs will be problematic. In fact, everything is quite simple, and with the use of high-quality elements and qualified installation, the reliability of the design meets the highest standards.

Consider the main modifications of products and features of their installation.

How to distinguish the quality option

No matter what modification you choose, you need to check its compliance with several important criteria. In this way, even without experience in this field, you will be able to get a good and reliable construction.

The basic requirements are as follows:

Note! Even before purchasing a specific modification, invite a specialist to inspect your premises and give recommendations on the optimal type of equipment. Sometimes it is impossible to install embedded systems, or it requires a lot of time and effort.

Types of systems and recommendations for their installation

If we consider all the designs of the built-in shower, we can see that they differ significantly in purpose and type of system. Therefore, we consider what options are available for sale and what each of them is for.

Main types of designs

The built-in flush-mounted shower set can have the following configurations:

• In the bathrooms, where there is no possibility to install a bidet or if you decide to use a simpler version, then an integrated hygienic shower will be the ideal solution. This design is one or two adjustment knots on the wall and a watering can on a flexible hose, mounted on a special holder on the wall. The main advantage is simplicity and low cost (if you compare with a full bidet, the savings are very noticeable).

• The second option is a system with a wall-mounted watering can, this solution is widespread and very often the stationary rain is complemented by a hand-held watering can on a flexible hose to improve usability.. This solution is great for a separate compartment, and for use as a shower part of the bath.

• Ceiling structures are distinguished by the fact that the watering can is located on top, very often such a solution is used by the manufacturers of shower cabins, but in ordinary premises a similar project can be realized.. It is important to choose the length of the rod so that it is not located too high, as in this case there will not be a lot of splashes.

• Another interesting solution is the so-called rain shower, which is a large ceiling or wall panel that creates jets of water like a shower.. Due to the large size of the watering can, the jets wash the person entirely and imitate being in the rain, which has a positive effect on the body and gives a charge of vigor and a surge of strength.

How to install

We note immediately that the instructions for installing embedded designs are much more complicated than external systems, but the result will please you and your loved ones for many years. Works can be divided into two equal stages - laying of communications and connection of all required nodes.

Let's start with the laying of all the necessary pipelines, there are some peculiarities:

• First of all it should be remembered that you will need to shten the walls in order to hide the pipes in them. First of all, communications are brought to the mixer, which will make all temperature settings. The main feature of these structures is that the mixer and the watering can are not located in a single unit, but separately, that is, an eyeliner is laid between them.

• This process is difficult to do with your own hands without the appropriate tool, for this you need a puncher or a grinder with a special disc for metal. In the process, a lot of dust is generated, so empty the room and stock up with protective glasses and a respirator. As a last resort, you can hire specialists to perform these works, it is important to plan everything as accurately as possible in order to avoid mistakes.
• Next, pipelines are laid, with particular attention paid to the strength of all connections, because they will be hidden in the walls, and any problems will lead to the need for destruction. Remember one simple rule - the smaller the connections, the more reliable the design.
• The built-in shower faucet is a monolithic block, the only replaceable unit in which it is a cartridge. To remove it later, you do not need to break the wall, the outdoor adjustment unit is removed, and you can easily remove the assembly for maintenance or replacement.

Note! Repair of the mixer is to replace the cartridge, all other nodes are presented in the form of a monolithic block to increase reliability.

• For the supply of water from the mixing block to the rain, pipes made of metal-plastic or copper are most often used, these options are the most reliable and durable. The connection is made using high-strength fittings, saving on these nodes is not worth it, because most often they are the main cause of leakage.
• When installing the spout in the ceiling, you can not stitched floor slabs, but make a box of moisture-resistant drywall, and lay all the necessary communications in it. This solution is not only simpler, but also more functional, especially if you decide to install a tropical shower in which the panel is very large, and shaving under it can be very laborious.

Conclusion

During the installation of the built-in shower, you have to work hard, but the end result will be many times more attractive than the usual outdoor options. The video in this article will tell you some important points of the workflow in more detail and will help you to understand the main nuances even better.
