Shower cabin - the best option for apartments witha small bathroom or a combined bathroom. In addition, the shower cabin is readily installed in summer cottages, where there is often a bathhouse, which does not make sense to heat all the time.
There are several types of shower cabins: open and closed, round, rectangular and triangular. An important factor is the material from which the pallet of the cabin is made. They are steel, cast iron, ceramic, acrylic and even marble, so the choice depends on personal preferences and opportunities.
So, you bought a shower. Assembly by yourself, first of all, involves a thorough study of the instructions for its installation, which must be enclosed by the manufacturer complete with the cabin. At the first stage, you need to carefully prepare the place for the shower room to be installed. The floor and walls must be dry and perfectly even. Walls are checked with a plumb line and, if necessary, leveled with cement mortar. A cement screed is applied to the floor surface, onto which then ceramic tiles are laid.
Once you have prepared a place to install andthe shower enclosure itself, the self-assembly implies the presence of the necessary tools: a screwdriver, a drill, a wrench, hoses, a level with a plumb and hermetic. Begins the assembly of shower cabins with their own hands from the installation of a pallet, on which the details of draining drain are attached. If the pallet is provided with legs, then they must be adjusted to make it stand evenly. Then work is being done to install the mixers. The installation of the cab starts with the installation of panels: first mounted the rear wall, and it does not need to be fixed capitally, but just bolted to the bolts. Tighten all the way after all the panels are installed on the pallet. And before the panels are installed on it, all joints must be carefully coated with a sealant. In order to make sure - how correctly the shower cabin is installed, the self-assembly requires a constant check with a level and a plumb line to make sure there are no distortions.
Connecting the shower to your handsWater pipes are produced with the help of flexible hoses, which must have some margin along the length. Cold and hot water is connected in special places in the cabin. The connection to the sewage system takes place at the stage of installation of the pallet, after its installation the water conduit is connected to the sewage drain by means of hoses or plumbing pipes. All joints must be carefully fixed with a sealant.
If you need a well-lit shower enclosure, self-assembly It also assumes connection to the power supply. This requires a three-core cable, the cross-section of which must be at least two square mm. Since this work requires compliance with safety measures, it must be done under the supervision of a specialist. After the electric cable is supplied, the ceiling panel is installed and the doors are hung. The cockpit is ready for work.
