Features of glass shower enclosures without pallet

Glass shower enclosures without a tray are an interesting alternative to bulky shower structures. Today, consumers have access to numerous options for shower enclosures. It is worth considering some of the features of such designs.

Currently, manufacturers offer many types of glass structures without a pallet. These shower enclosures can be easily installed with your own hands. Detailed instructions are attached to the designs. Many users abandon conventional shower cabins, as they are not comfortable enough. Those consumers who want to save space in the bathroom and create personalized decor often choose shower enclosures without a tray.

Glass designs are:

• frameless;
• wireframe.

The frameless design is extremely efficient and flexible in terms of site selection. Frameless glass is the perfect choice for any bathroom. Thanks to this design, the design can become as harmonious as possible. Conventional shower cabins clutter up a small space, and often do not fit into the overall decor.

An acceptable option would be glass and metal fencing. The metal construction will add originality to the shower room. Most often, such structures are made of aluminum or steel, painted in a dark shade. Dark metal fencing is a fashion trend in recent years. Designers use it in combination with white ceramics, any bright details that become accents in the bathroom.

Glass used for fencing can be opaque or transparent. Clear glass without a frame is an ideal choice for small spaces, but not everyone is happy with this option. Frosted or textured doors not only hide the person taking the water, but are also easy to clean. On a matte surface, splashes from water are not so visible.

If the first and second options for some reason are not suitable or not affordable for the consumer, you can opt for shower curtains.

The following types of shutter doors can be distinguished:

• recoil;
• swing;
• swivel-sliding.

The design can be made according to an individual project. Shower curtains can be installed on the shower floor. Sash mechanisms are usually chosen by people based on the size of the room. The place where there is a shower room without a tray is finished with hygienic materials. The main tasks of the installer are precision and high-quality waterproofing. When planning to start installation work, you should take a closer look at the popular types of structures.

The main element of the glass fence is an impact-resistant base with a thickness of 6 to 10 millimeters. Such a base tolerates temperature changes and significant humidity without problems. The strength characteristics of tempered glass are much better than that of steel. Usually there are retainers made of a durable seal. Thanks to the seal, the shower structure becomes more airtight and safer.

Such fences can be from the following materials.

• Red-hot. They are characterized by increased strength. If you break the tempered glass, there will be no fragments from it.
• Trilepx. This is a multi-layer base, between each layer of which there is a film.This design is characterized by increased resistance to various mechanical influences. With a strong impact, cracks will appear, but the structure will remain intact.
• Plastic. The main advantage of such products is their low cost. However, plastic is easy to scratch, and for this reason, such material cannot be considered durable.

For greater decorativeness, glass for a shower cabin can be decorated with a pattern that is applied by sandblasting, photo printing, and coloring pigments. Shower enclosures can be tinted.

Color is usually added to the glass base. As a result, it acquires the required light shade. This option should not be confused with frosted glass, which is obtained as a result of sandblasting. Custom designs are more expensive than standard models bought in a store, but most often they look very interesting and unusual.

The glass will not be covered with mold, fungus (unlike other materials), it will last longer and will be easy to clean. Plastic curtains for the cab are also not without advantages. Such designs are usually cheaper than glass counterparts. If you choose a model with a matte door, it will not cease to be aesthetically pleasing even after several years of use.

The products of German manufacturers are considered to be of the highest quality. However, these plastic screens are usually quite expensive. Many people prefer doors, curtains made of glass from Polish manufacturers. Usually they are set at reasonable prices.

Shower enclosures 100x100 and other sizes are often installed as part of the bathroom. The structures installed in niches look very interesting. Often, such a zone is separated from the room by a part of the wall. The railing is also designed to keep the shower warm and protect the rest of the room from moisture. A compact shower enclosure will look simple and versatile. Such a model can be placed in a room of any size, it can be decorated in any style. The corner guard will save space and effort during installation. In this case, you can use rounded sliding doors without installing additional walls.

It is best to install shower enclosures after the tiles have been laid. It is more convenient to order glass elements according to an individual project, according to a drawing. It should contain information about the places where the guides are attached.

To install the fence, you must:

• drill a hole in the tile (using a hammerless drill);
• make holes in the concrete (using a drill made of the appropriate material);
• place the dowels in the prepared holes;
• fix the guides with self-tapping screws;
• fix the bases for the hinges;
• put the bearing profiles on the guides;
• place sealing material.

Then it will be possible to install the doors on the end hinges. Place the seal at the ends of the doors. If the installation of the box is carried out correctly, such a design will be devoid of disadvantages. Study the advice and recommendations of experienced professionals, they will help you avoid mistakes in the implementation of installation work.

A distinctive feature of these shower stalls is the absence of a ceiling, this design is limited only by the walls. The cornerstone views are the walls of the room. If you are going to carry out the installation of doors, you will need to carefully prepare the bases. Walls and floors should be as even and protected from liquids as possible.If you do not take care of the tightness, this will have a negative impact on the condition of the housing.

The best place for shower enclosures is a niche or corner in the bathroom. This way you can save space. The shower structure can be wall-mounted or floor-mounted. Usually, manufacturers do not provide complex functions for such models.

If there is no pallet in the shower box, a special system is installed, which is called a drain. Pay special attention to this step. After washing, water should be drained into the sewer. In this case, it is desirable to exclude the presence of unpleasant odors. There is often a siphon in the shower room. For a shower without a tray, you should choose ceramics with anti-slip properties. This will help prevent injuries: surfaces will not be slippery. If the shower structure is nevertheless equipped with a tray, special attention should be paid to the shape of the structure. It is worth noting that the popular corner options will not be very appropriate in the middle of the wall.

Another important selection criterion is the material used by the manufacturers. Pallets are cast iron, steel, ceramic, and acrylic. Each variety has certain advantages and disadvantages. Learn more about all the offers in the store, consult the seller when making a purchase. You should understand the features of the various designs as best as possible.
