Shower stove with drain: device and possibilities of application in the interior of the bathroom (20 photos)
Content
A shower plate is a rectangular, square or semicircular product, as a rule, it is based on durable, dense, foamed polystyrene. An integral component of the design is a linear or compact drainage channel, the so-called gangway. The surface of the product is finished with a waterproofing cloth, which provides comprehensive tightness and reliability of the shower. Traps are complemented by siphons with enhanced throughput.
Specifics of use of shower plates
On all sides, the product has a small slope calculated during design and production to the drain hole, which eliminates the risk of a water spill, and timely discharge of the spent liquid in the right direction. The design is equipped with a siphon that can divert any volume of water - this condition is especially important for those who use an overhead rain shower, often including hydromassage panels.
Key benefits:
- quick and easy installation;
- lack of need for drying a concrete solution;
- there is no need for a separate arrangement of the slope to facilitate the withdrawal of water.
Shower plate with linear drain and modified with a compact drain - both are designed to equip the shower without the notorious tray. This solution is in demand among people with special needs; it is also often implemented in public hygiene rooms: in the souls of hotels, hospitals, and sports facilities. Plates do not have a threshold, which facilitates access to water procedures.
Features of the introduction of designs
A shower plate with a ladder is installed at the stage of finishing work during the filling of the floor. As soon as the stove sits in its designated place, you can immediately proceed to facing with ceramics or other materials intended for rooms with high humidity.
The special coating, which is the top layer of the waterproofing sheet, has high adhesion to standard tile adhesive. The package includes a special template that greatly simplifies the process of cutting ceramic tiles: thus, the installation of the shower is much faster than in the case of a pallet.
For the manufacture of the base, reinforced polystyrene is used, which has a sufficient level of strength and resistance to deformation for this zone. Moreover, the popular shower stove with a compact gangway differs from the linear counterpart, for the most part, only in the form of a drain.
A little bit about the device of the ladder
The simplest modifications look like plastic, metal or metal-plastic devices designed to collect and remove fluid from the floor in a humid room. They have a simple configuration, convenient, trouble-free, relatively cheap.
The product consists of several components:
- water intake funnel (it is supplemented with a flange) - water collects in it, at the bottom there is an outlet pipe leading to the sewer. Using the flange, a waterproofing membrane is fixed;
- decorative lattice - a removable component, screening large debris;
- the siphon serves as a water trap; it does not allow unpleasant odors to penetrate from the sewer into the room.
In addition to directly withdrawing water, the ladder solves the following tasks:
- prevents the formation of blockages due to debris entering the sewer;
- creates convenient conditions for regular cleaning of the drain;
- protects the room from moisture and odors from the sewer pipe.
The ladder can be located in the center of the shower room (a slight offset to one of the walls is acceptable). In this case, the bias should be manifested from all sides.
The drain hidden in the corner will not be evident, with this option, the slope should go from two planes so that the drain goes to the desired zone.
If the ladder will be located against the wall, the deviation from one plane is ensured. As a rule, slotted drains with a high throughput are equipped in this way. Such models have an aesthetic design and are rarely clogged.
The gate provided in the ladder may be dry or wet. The latter is inconvenient in that, with a long simple shower stall, unpleasant odors begin to penetrate into the room. A dry shutter is more efficient; it completely isolates the room from a centralized network.
Possibilities of introduction to the interior
Manufacturers offer a diverse range of shower stoves, they can be successfully used in any area of the bathroom, this gives a certain scope for planning the room. Products are in enviable demand among modern designers:
- there is no pallet restricting access and freedom of movement;
- concise execution of a wide range of gratings contributes to the full implementation of even non-standard projects.
Shower stoves should be used in rooms that are designed for people with special needs. There is no threshold, so in the hygienic zone you can freely place a wheelchair.
In public places, for example, fitness centers, gyms, hospitals, pools, showers in which are equipped with stoves, care for wet areas is greatly facilitated. In particular, the absence of cavities and additional angles speeds up room cleaning. Finally, the fact that the plates have a high level of resistance to mechanical stress and are not afraid of intensive use is also important - even a careless attitude will not affect the functional and aesthetic qualities of the products.
