Shower cabins

Shower cabins are functional structures that are used for taking a shower, helping to relax the body and restore strength. When choosing products, pay attention to the size, weight, functionality and ease of use.

How to choose a shower cabin

• Look at the type of cabin. Open structures are a shower, complete with a tray, doors and side walls. Water is supplied using a shower head and hydro-massage jets.

The second option is a closed cabin consisting of a pallet, side walls and doors that are hermetically sealed. These products have a second name-shower boxes.

They are installed quickly and equipped with all necessary communications. Among the inexpensive models-shower corners, the side walls of which are the walls of the bath.

• Pay attention to the type of door opening. They are hinged and sliding (open on the principle of a wardrobe). Sliding doors are more functional, but they quickly break down due to the short-lived roller mechanisms.
• Material. Cast iron products are strong and reliable, they have thick walls, but they take a long time to heat up. Steel pallets have low noise insulation, and the enamel wears off over time.

Acrylic is most often used for making pallets, this material heats up quickly and is easy to clean. The advantage of acrylic products is the possibility of grinding scratches and damage.

Ceramic pallets are resistant, but they are very fragile, so you need to handle them very carefully. Artificial marble is characterized by high strength and wear resistance.

This material is resistant to aggressive environment, easy to care for. Glass shower cabins are popular, they have a beautiful appearance and stylish design.

Another option – pallets made of sanitary faience, characterized by stability, long service life. Lack of glass and faience-fragility.

• An important criterion is the shape of the structure. Among the most popular are square and rectangular models. On the market there are pallets in the form of a polyhedron, a sector of a circle, an oval, a shell, they have a stylish design and attract a beautiful appearance.
