Shower enclosure parts and accessories

Shower enclosures are increasingly found inside the bathrooms of modern man. They are practical, allow you to save space, reduce water costs, as well as provide certain functionality that a traditional bath can certainly not boast.

Nevertheless, sooner or later you may need to buy certain parts for the cabin to return it to its former functionality, or to introduce something new to its capabilities.

As practice has shown, most often users purchase three elements:

• Podium;
• Tray;
• Faucet;
• Leakage;
• Whirlpool panel.

Accordingly, let's talk about each of these parts separately.

This is fundamental component of the cabinIt plays not the last role. After all, it serves as a podium, so that under it we had the opportunity to place the drain, communications.

Therefore it is very important to choose competently its location, to determine in advance the design features of the tray, which will then be installed on the catwalk.

It is four walls, which are installed directly on the floor. Convenient and in many ways reasonable system, but requiring a rather complex organization of the drain.

Parameters of the tray can be quite different, but first of all they differ in size. Some people, due to the compactness of their bathroom, will be satisfied with small trays of size 70 by 70 centimeters.and if there is enough space, you can take something with the dimensions 170 x 80 or 140 x 90 centimeters.for example.

Also be sure to decide on the height. From this point of view, the tray can be:

• Small;
• Medium;
• High;
• No tray.

Minimal height tray that allows even a child to get into it on their own. The sides will protect against overflow.

The boards are a little higher than the smaller ones, which allows you to put a child in them, bathe the animals, and so on. Practical, but not everyone is comfortable due to physical or age limitations.

Perhaps such trays may well be called a mini-bath, because the height of the side allows it to be used as a full bath for children or even adults. Many models have a comfortable seat that allows you to take a shower in a sitting position.

Also, when choosing a tray, take into account the shape and material of which it is made. Remember that You should put two things first - comfort and safety.. And here you need to consider the needs of each family member.

Also quite often replaceable device. If you choose a good faucet, it may well last about ten years. Unfortunately, to a large extent, the quality of our water has a negative impact on the service life.

Faucets can be different in design, installation features, style and so on. The following types can be distinguished:

• Single-lever. Very easy to handle, allows one hand to easily adjust the temperature and pressure;
• Two-valve. The standard solution, which does not lose its relevance. It is easier to repair, plus these faucets are more suitable for the conditions of operation in chlorinated water;
• Thermostatic. They respond to the movement of the hands at the expense of thermal sensors. At home, they are not very convenient to use, because different situations require different pressures and temperatures. But for public institutions - it is an ideal and modern solution.

The shower head can be fixed to the wallor A hand-held with a hose in different lengths. Which option is more convenient - you decide.

Often the shower head is supplemented with jets, which create additional pressure, allowing you to feel all the charms of whirlpool.

As statistics show, the most popular are Tropical shower heads. Their beauty is that they cover almost the entire body, creating the feeling of being in the pouring rain.

Alas, shower heads are not eternal, so over time they have to be repaired or replaced. Now the range is extensive, allowing you to pick up a new showerhead for almost any modern shower stall.

As you understand, this element is present in the most expensive models of shower cabins. Are they worth it? Obviously, yes.

Still, the whirlpool is a useful and pleasant procedure. For control over the modes of its work, the inclusion of certain functions is responsible electronics, which are concentrated in the panel.

The more complex the system, the more features are included in the cabin. Thus, some panels are responsible only for hydromassage, and using the most advanced includes music, lighting, ventilation, steam, etc.

The panel can be push-button or touch-button. From this point of view, the button panel is worse.because it is more likely to get wet. The touch panel will be more expensive, but its degree of protection is higher.

No matter how you look at it, you should always choose your spare parts very carefully. First of all, focus on the quality of components, as well as their correspondence to the general design of the cabin and the whole bathroom.

Modern manufacturers offer a whole variety of spare parts, from cheap Chinese elements to expensive components of the highest European level. It is better to have them installed by professionals. Many firms that sell showers, provide additional repair and maintenance services.
