How to choose a suitable shower cabin for your bathroom?

The modern market offers a wide range of shower stalls. And in order to determine which of them you will ultimately choose, you need to properly divide the space in which it will stand and pay attention to many other points that we will explain below.

Model of the shower:

Professional advice gives you the right answer. The first and fundamental: decide on the model of the shower. We choose exactly the model that suits your needs, that harmonises with the design of your bathroom and that has the right dimensions for the space.

Each of the models should not only fit into the interior of the bathroom, but also perform the desired functions. Shower enclosure models differ in the type of construction, they can be prefabricated or monobloc. The first type is assembled before installation, the second type comes in ready-made shops and can be installed immediately.

The shower cubicles are:

• Open
• Closed
• Bound
• Combined

The open models are mostly prefabricated. They are installed in the smallest bathrooms. The peculiarity of this model is the lack of a roof, therefore some functions are not possible. This model is only suitable for showering.

The closed model consists of walls, a lower platform and a roof base. This model is completely closed, it can be considered sealed. It is not necessary to install it in the bathroom, as it can be installed in a niche. It can be finished for any room design.

Combination models consisting of a complete bathroom and a shower are very common. The size is no bigger than a normal bathroom.

Type of opening:

Sliding, revolving and folding doors or a combination of fixed and movable wings. It is important that the opening is adapted to the spatial conditions of your bathroom and that it is easy to get in and out. The sliding doors are a good choice for small bathrooms and are also the most watertight. Even the fixed panels, which are attached to the wall with hinges, hardly take up any space.

- Tempered glass or acrylic glass?

The first option is more expensive than the second, which, however, replaced the acrylic panels. If you choose shower glass, make sure it is safety toughened: this glass is impact and shock resistant. However, if it breaks, it is in small pieces and without sharp edges. And the models with anti-limescale treatment are easier to clean because they repel water and prevent the accumulation of deposits.

- Transparent or translucent:

The transparent crystal offers a greater sense of clarity and spaciousness. They do not obstruct the passage of light, while the translucent ones promote privacy, as do the highly decorative screen-printed models.

- Partition walls with profiles:

You can choose between partitions with aluminum profiles, chromed steel, PVC or without profiles: a minimalist trend since the shower enclosure offers great aesthetic cleanliness.

- Partitions for the elderly:

For those with limited mobility, the most practical shower stall is one with a non-slip shelf at floor level and a double hinged door that opens outwards. This allows toilet assistance from outside the shower as the bottom door can remain fixed.

Materials:

They can be made of acrylic, which is lightweight, inexpensive, and conforms to both round and irregular shower trays. Or glass, which is very safe, elegant and easy to clean since it usually has an anti-limescale treatment that repels water.

opening system:

The hinged ones take up more space as they open fully. The foldable ones are perfect for small bathrooms, the sliding ones are the most watertight and the fixed ones are the most practical.

Thickness:

It guarantees the stability and safety of the shield. Acrylic glass must have a minimum thickness of 2.2 mm. 6 mm is ideal for sliding doors made of shower glass, 8 mm and more for fixed glazing.

Profiling:

Quality is very important as it determines durability. There are PVC ones, which are the cheapest; made of stainless steel or aluminium, with different surface treatments, which are the most resistant to moisture.

Choose a shower and the best palette for it:

The pallets can have different shapes and designs. They can also be angled and wall mounted. Corner pallets come in various shapes: rectangular, square, circular and semi-circular. The walls also differ in shape: rectangular, square, oval, triangular.

We choose a shower cabin and at the same time pay the greatest attention to the shower tray. Since the base load is a simple load, it is important to know what material it is made of. It is important to choose a strong and reliable material so that the shower lasts a long time.

Pallets are made of different materials. Some are strong and solid, some keep you warm, some are of varying quality.

The pallets consist of the following materials:

• Molten Iron
• Steel
• Acrylic
• Artificial stone

Cast iron shower fixtures are very strong and can last a long time. However, they are very heavy. Steel is lighter than cast iron jigs, but they cool quickly. Made of earthenware it is very massive, they must be used with care because they are very fragile.

Made of stone, the panels are very stable, heat up quickly and retain heat for a long time. They are easy to repair while maintaining their original appearance for a long time. But they are very expensive and not everyone can afford them.

The most popular are acrylic pallets. They have a stylish look that allows the palette to blend into any decor. Whichever shower you choose, they are all good in their own way.

Built-in showers: special features:

In some apartments, the size of the bathroom is not enough to install a full shower. The built-in cabin is just an angle or a niche, without the usual partitions, walls, roof and pallet. It takes up very little space, so it can be installed even in a small apartment.

The cabin of this type is very convenient. The built-in type shower stall is closed not only with doors, but also with a simple curtain. The shower can be separated with glass or mirror doors. The built-in shower cabin has special features and advantages. This is how it can be distinguished from other shower cubicles.

All the advantages of a built-in shower:

• It takes up less space than other models.
• Requires practically no maintenance
• Has many functions
• This can be done in different ways
• Sturdy and wear-resistant

When installing a built-in shower, it is advisable to ensure forced ventilation so that there is no moisture and moisture. If you wish, you can turn the built-in shower into a Turkish bath or an original Finnish sauna.
