Glass space cleanliness

Shower is the space of a bathroom, enclosed shower tray, walls and doors, as well as equipped with shower unit. The main advantage of this facility - the practicality, comfort and economy. Thrifty Germans have long noticed that when using the shower water is spent much less than when taking a bath. In addition, the shower is more hygienic, since the soap and dirt are constantly flushed with running water. Another important detail: any shower takes up much less storage space than a bath, and thus fits perfectly into any decor. Choosing a shower finally decided to buy a shower cabin, you should not run headlong into the nearest store and buy the first ones you like. First, the choice of competing manufacturers in our market is quite large, and secondly, as a variety of configurations and price models - great variety.

Choosing a shower, it should be borne in mind that each company produces several series: midrange, average and elite. It is not excluded that in the range of renowned companies you need a model, which belongs to the economy class, with the construction of the middle class of some Asian manufacturer will cost the same. A crucial role in the cost of the cab are materials used in structural elements, design and functionality. Prices of showers cabin can be placed almost anywhere, once connected to water and sanitation, it is completely ready for use. Provided that the bathroom wall, forming a corner, covered with ceramic tiles on one wall, you can save and buy a so-called shower-bath - the design with door and one side or with two doors, which are attached to the pallet and the walls of the bathroom. Shower-mounted together with the tray or put directly on the floor, in which case you need to do additional waterproofing and install the system. A classic example of a set-Luxor (Keramac, China) cost $ 273 with acrylic shower tray and glass walls. The same advantages as the company have a Polish booth Cersanit: Roma in 1980 cost $ 250 and Bianka 90 - $ 1 96, and Supernova II VDKP 4 (Ravak, $ 336). These models combine a Spartan asceticism and high reliability is not always staffed by a full suite, shower, and belong to economy class. By the next price category cabins middle class - the cost usually ranges from $ 450 to $ 1 thousand usually shower in this category comes with a shower tray trap for him, shower set, mixer thermostat control knob. Close to them at the price of Chinese rectangular booths Bin Du BF1010IIK1) worth $ 455, Bin Du BF1108III ($ 497), Midocean M D002A ($ 392). Significantly more expensive products of the Czech company Ravak: Supernova II ASBKP6 ($ 945) and Ravek Elegance ESKPS ($ 689). In the mid-range price group selection is really huge, and the geography of manufacturing companies is extensive. Major role in the cost of middle-class cabins are quality headset, design features and material pallet and kind of used glass because plastic - it's all the same attribute ekonomvarianta. The next price category, the elite class cabins priced from $ 1 thousand traditionally expensive Italian plumbing firm Wilcom - corner shower box with two fixed walls and two sliding doors V012 005 Delta door plus fix wal cost $ 1,559. Well represented and the products of Slovenian firms Kolpa San - for example, the model Stella TKK in 1980 cost $ 1475. Shower cabin Magna-5000 L + R firm Nirre demonstrates thoughtful design combined straditsionnym German quality, however, and is not cheap - $ 61 52. Apart at the top of a shower-parade is held klasslyuks that our market is represented mainly by firms Villeroy & Boch, Duravit, Huppe, Pharo. The price of "luxury" showers with full meat "starts at $ 1 0 thousand, for example, shower Entrada-5000 (Huppe) worth $ 10,266 combines whirlpool cabin, infrared sauna, is equipped with aeration, and shower tray with anti-slide coating. Types of shower cabins luxury usually equipped with not only clear all the massage function, such as Italy Hydromassage cabins firm Apollo A-0842 ($ 2320), but also more exotic devices. For example, in the back of the cabin can be built in a special motor-feeder, which is poured aromatic substance. When the function is added in pairs, and the whole tank is filled with pleasant aroma model Theis January 1961 (Theis, Italy), $ 3 thousand in the expensive models in the ceiling of a shower mounted light sources, the choice of colors which is carried out by remote control. This color has a physiological and emotional impact on the occupants of the cab man: Blue relaxes and soothes the green, yellow, strengthens, stimulates red. Models equipped with light therapy, the market supply company Pamos (Austria), Hoesch (Germany), Ideal Standard (Italy, United Kingdom), Hansgrohe (line booths Aquafun). Quite often, luxury cabin is equipped with a good stereo, and during the adoption of procedures you can enjoy the noise of the forest, the sound of the surf, or rain, birds singing and other sound effects. In today's multi-cabs, mostly Spanish production, there is also a radio, and in one model of the firm "Jacuzzi" is even a phone. Often, they are equipped with CD-and DVD-player. Glass - This is important for the way the installation shower enclosure is subdivided into framed and frameless. The first is made of glass or plastic and fastened to an aluminum frame. In frameless designs as material use only tempered glass. Shower stalls medium and high price range are usually equipped with guards from this particular material. They look great, easy to clean, durable and long lasting. For even greater reliability, many manufacturers produce curtains with a special water-repellent coating. Cheaper material - polystyrene, but note that it eventually becomes cloudy, it may appear divorce. Glass can also be transparent, opaque, tinted, patterned - to suit every taste. Transparent enclosure is suitable for a small bathroom - the space in this case is not shared. If you can afford zoning areas, pay attention to the booth stonirovannym Glass: The market offers a wide range of colors - black, brown, blue, green. Tint glass structures with time does not change, because the dyes are in the bulk material. No effect on it, and frequent bathing, he is not afraid of scratches. Surface of the glass during the manufacturing process undergoes a special chemical treatment, resulting in gains several special properties: it does not remain fingerprints and dirt easily removed. As a rule, materials shower curtains by themselves, varnished, prolongs the life of design, and make its surface smooth and safe. Often used in the manufacture of cabs stemalit - colored glass with a matte effect. Produce it: the glass is applied paint that is in the process of hardening vpekaetsya the glass mass and it becomes a single entity. Optionally, you can also pick up glass shower cubicles with vacuum evaporation, with a decorative film and serigraphy. The door to the shower Shower doors in the way of opening divided by folding, sliding and swivel-sliding. In swing door size overlapped space is usually from 70 to 11 50 cm, and a sliding partition off is usually large enough distances - from 1200 to 1800, see She moves on the roller for outdoor profile left or right half of the distance is a fixed part of the door. Swing doors are divided into single-and double. The first open outward, which, of course, require the area. While the latter can be opened as the outward and inward. Folding models are sliding and folding. Sliding move on rollers, which are hidden inside the frame, in one or both sides simultaneously. In connection setim they can be one-, two-, three-and four-wings. It is true that the more folds, the less space inside the cabin, but the strong frame and wider input. Folding are also working on the rollers, folding on the move in an accordion, and have four or even six wings. Rotary-sliding design is usually sold only in conjunction with a shower and a method of opening the door reminded "tricked" the bus: when you open the door to moves forward and then drive off to the side. In the market, such models have appeared recently, and the novelty soon relished consumers. Perhaps, from the standpoint of design, functionality and space is preferable sliding type. This door slides along the front wall inside the cabin, it requires minimal effort when opening, has good integrity and is usually not much more expensive swing. That's why we select the pallet, which will be "foundation" of your shower stall, largely depends on its reliability and durability, and ease of use. Therefore, the choice of pan should be taken very seriously - that the fundamental shape of the assembly and one of the most eye-catching design elements of the design shower. Pallets for showers are produced almost all companies - manufacturers booths. Distinguish pallets according to the forms: the radial model (when one of the corners of the pallet rounded), penta-diagonal model (oblique angle of the tray in a straight line), semi-circular model (established by the flat side of the tray to the wall). Pallets are made of various materials: iron, steel, ceramic, acrylic, so-called injection (artificial) marble. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Enameled cast iron pans are durable and reliable, but their thick walls for a long time warming up. Steel is under water is quite noisy. To reduce noise, set under the bottom of rubber gaskets or very bottom of the treated polyurethane foam. Mounted steel trays, usually on the frame with adjustable legs. Earthenware trays are massive, stable, beautiful, hygienic and well combined with other products sanfayansovymi: sink, toilet and bidet. They warmed up longer than steel and, like any sanitary ware can be broken. Frame with adjustable legs is not here, because installing ceramic trays need to almost perfectly flat surface. Acrylic tray all good: warm and fast, and beautiful, and does not absorb dirt, and does not darken with time. That's just it lacks rigidity and to eliminate this disadvantage, a pallet is reinforced fiberglass with a polymer adhesive layer. In addition, it is easier to scratch the surface. To exclude the possibility of deformation of acrylic products are installed or on a metal frame, or a system of supports made of foamed polyester. One of the advantages of acrylic products that during the mechanical damage of their surface is easily restored. Not so long ago there were more pallets of the same material-kuarila. Part of the quartz kuarila so increases the hardness and wear resistance of products that damage the surface becomes very difficult. As a result, the factory gloss lasts for many years. No less attractive trays of artificial marble, comprising a polymer resin with filler - marble crumb. Products are beautiful, quiet and long derzhatteplo. The strength of artificial marble is several times higher than natural. The most convenient for installation are considered models with adjustable legs. Many manufacturers are limited to only two colors - white and beige, or even one white. Product price is high enough. On average, it ranges from $ 300 to $ 1,200 depending on size. Material thickness in different parts of the pallet ranges from 8 to 1 1 mm, which gives it high strength and stability. The range of standard sizes of square pallets of all materials is extensive, ranging from 70 x 70 cm and 30 x to 1 January 1930 see the difference between them and in depth: from flat - up to 35 mm, up to high - 100-1 80 mm. Choosing the pan, keep in mind that its configuration and size and specify the size of the cabin as a whole. After all, when washing you do not stand still, and raises his arms and legs, turn and bend, and the cabin space should allow it to do. So that the minimum size of the shower enclosure - 80 x 80 cm, and preferably 90 x 90 cm surface of the tray should not be slippery, which manufacturers use grooves or special Anti-slip, or a wooden lattice. Pay attention to it, complete with a tray siphon-trap. Construction of siphons and their sizes in different companies can vary greatly. Therefore it is better to buy a siphon once, complete with shower tray. Features of installation and maintenance Prezhdechem purchase multifunction shower or whirlpool stand, find out what the water pressure in your home network. The fact that the devices are not all manufacturers are suitable for our conditions. You can find units with a pressure 1.5 and even 3.2 bar. Difficulties with the installation of conventional panels, without hydromassage jets, usually does not arise. In order to regulate the flow and water temperature in the cabin, you must install the mixer. The most advanced solution - Single-lever wall unit. Such models have already become part of our everyday life, so to speak in detail about them will not. Mixers such proizvodyatfirmy Grohe, Ropasan, Oras, Jado, Hansgrohe, Dornbracht, Ideal Standard, Jorger, Tt-Form, and others at prices ranging from $ 20 to several thousand, depending on the design, manufacturing technology and the manufacturer name. Upgrading products, manufacturers of shower panels continuously develop different modification of the soul. For example, Hansgrohe additionally provides the usual turbodush with a small number of spiral continuous jets, as well as kombidush whose flow varies with the needle in the rain. Companies Theis and Albatros offer aerated monostruyu, rigid, reactive and spinning massage. A firm Hansa and Nirre produce panels with the regime of the cascade on top the soul, when a large amount of water pouring out at once, creating a waterfall effect. An indispensable component of all types of jets is the economy mode. It allows you to consume 20-50% less water with almost no loss of intensity of the jet, which is important. Independently carry out the work we would not recommend, as in case of damage due to improper installation of the manufacturer and seller disclaim all warranties. Installation is usually after the basic construction and finishing work on tile or mosaic. Inflow should be made well in advance. Manufacturers offer as usual wall and angular model fitted with all necessary fittings. In any case, no "special contraindications" to install shower panels do not exist. Care for the shower panel is easy: just wipe the casing and fittings with a soft sponge, do not apply abrasives or products containing lye. Should be fine and all liquids proposed for cleaning plastic and chrome and glass surfaces, but of course you need to consider the material from which made the case. Scratches, whose appearance on the acrylic surface is almost inevitable, can be removed using special polishes - if you buy a model should specify what kind of vehicle manufacturer recommends. Cleaning the nozzles of lime is also not difficult: it is enough to hold his hand on the silicone tubules to remove them from the solid particles. Another question that conventional filters are usually not able to purify the water of excess calcium, which eventually ends up on the cartridge faucet and pose serious problems. Experts advise to make the analysis of water in your water system, and already the basis of the results, pick up a special system of hydrogen-cooking, with the ability to reduce its rigidity.
