Shower enclosure installation by own hands

Advantages of shower cabins in front of the bath are known to everyone. They are compact, comfortable. Modern designs have a lot of useful functions - what only stand shower cabins with hydromassage, not to mention the backlight, the ability to listen to music, etc. The choice for today is really great, both in terms of functionality and price. It is generally believed that the installation of the design should be done by the appropriate specialists, but this is not entirely true. The installation of a shower cabin by own power under the power of each owner.

So, first of all, you need to understand that any designs, from the simplest to the most multifunctional, are collected according to the same principle. For example, shower cabins with steam, speakers and the ability to receive phone calls are mounted in the same way as the most common designs, and only strictly according to the instructions.

The process begins with the installation of the pallet. All of them are equipped with adjustable legs, which must be set using a level, then tighten with nuts. The pallet must enter the corner perfectly, however, if the angle itself turns out to be uneven, a gap is formed which will have to be eliminated. If the width of the gap is not more than 5mm. On each side, you can correct the situation by distributing this distance evenly to each edge and filling it with silicone. If the gap is much larger, the trowel is cut with the help of a bolgar, and the tray is deepened into the wall for the distance necessary for a tight installation. The top line of the joint between the pallet and the wall must also be carefully filled with silicone. Important: during the time that the shower enclosure is installed, you can not remove the protective film from the pallet.

A drain hose comes complete. One of its ends joins the pallet, the second - is displayed on the hole for draining. It is better to install the tee immediately, since the drains of the washing machine, the baths, etc. will be connected to the system. All joints in the supply of water supply is better sealed.

The installation of the shower enclosure requires the presence of a separate outlet, preferably if it is intended for rooms with high humidity.

After installing the pallet, you need to check the drain. Buckets of water will be enough. If the drain functions properly, you can proceed to install the frame. The frame is assembled separately, installed on a pallet and attached to the wall. Pre-screwed profiles included in the package. After the frame is mounted, install blind glass partitions on the edges, on which rubber seals are additionally mounted. On both sides vertically the partitions are pressed with screws using a profile arc.

The next stage is the installation of doors. First they are hung on the upper arc, after - the lower rollers are screwed. Now you can attach the handles and try the door on the slide.

The installation of the shower cabin is over, it remains only to fix on the wall bracket with a groove for the shower holder and soap box. Now you can remove the protective film and fully use the booth.
