River showers: distinctive features and lineup

A shower cabin is an excellent option for arranging a bathroom that is not the largest in size. Such a design will not take up much space and will be distinguished by a pleasant price, ease of installation and use. Its main advantage is the fact that water consumption here will be much less than in the bathroom, which will seriously reduce costs.

The Russian company River has been operating in the CIS market for more than 12 years and has managed to establish itself quite well for this period. The River factory is located in China, which significantly reduces production costs and allows you to set affordable prices for your products.

The brand’s products include special shower enclosures, special racks with hydromassage, original curtains, various trays, stylish showers and other popular devices.

River showers differ:

• the most modern design;
• assembly mechanism - it is frame;
• acrylic pallets;
• sturdy racks with mixer and shower.

The cabin is connected to the sewer, the water supply system, and if it has an electrician, then the connection is made to the network.

The liquid pressure will not exceed 2–5 atm. The electrical appliances in the device will work thanks to a voltage of 12 V, a transformer is included. Such characteristics as shape and appearance, equipped with certain options will directly depend on a particular model. The package usually includes: a flexible type inlet, mixer, various gaskets, drain - all the equipment that is necessary to implement the functions that the selected model has.

River showers are in high demand due to their features.

1. Huge range. You can easily choose a model of the intended size, a certain design, with a full range of interesting options. The catalog of the company contains both standard types and products of not quite typical parameters. The height of the cabs also varies significantly. Here you can find the devices completely without a top, which will allow them to fit in the best way into a space with low ceilings. In addition, the brand produces shower cabins of various shapes: from angular and rectangular to the shape of a square, with high or very low pallets in height.
2. The original can be called color options. Often the back walls of all available models are made of silver glass, and the doors are made of frosted or even tinted glass, which gives the booth a very stylish look.
3. Using the best materials. For the release of doors, tempered glass with a thickness of 4–5 mm is selected. It is worth noting that River showers are made of environmentally friendly materials, therefore they will not emit harmful components, and are completely safe to use.
4. Strength. The company claims that its pallets are able to withstand severe loads of up to 190-200 kg due to the strong frame. This, in turn, means that such an acrylic product will not be covered with microcracks in a year and a half and will not require an immediate replacement.
5. Available for ordinary residents prices.

With all the positive aspects, River cabs have certain disadvantages.

1. Minimum set. All components are designed as if the purchased cabin will be located close to the water supply, outlet, drain, which in real conditions is not always feasible. For this reason, if you want to put the shower stall in a different place, you should prepare for the fact that some of the components will need to be purchased.
2. Sometimes after completion of the assembly, the cabin is not completely tight, so you have to use special composition - sealant.
3. Cabin height not always convenient for all members of a large family.
4. It is very difficult to assemble such a shower cabin yourself, since the process will require special care and certain professional skills. The invitation of specialists can cost a considerable amount.

The demand for River products is explained by their low price, stylish design and reliability of the device. In the company’s catalog you can find not only large shower boxes that are equipped with a large number of original devices, but also practical shower corners that are perfect for small rooms.

River showers are presented in 4 popular lines.

This is a series Amur and Desna, Lena and Nara, Neva and Tana, Quadro and Rein. In this class, you can choose products not with the largest range of functions, they can be with or without a roof, with and without an electrician, with a shower holder.

For example, River Nara is a wall-mounted rectangular shower cubicle with an acrylic reinforced fiberglass tray with adjustable legs. It has sliding doors made of tempered safety glass.

Corner variety Rein - it is an open type cabin with or without a ceiling, with sliding doors made of tempered frosted glass. It has pallets with anti-slip anti-slip system. Quadro - the cabin with a silicone-free assembly and a roof, has a rectangular shape, there is an overhead metal shower EASY CLEN. Desna - Asymmetric shower cubicle for wall mounting with or without a roof. Tana - A small design with swing doors, fits perfectly into an oversized room.

These are series like Dunay and Elba. These devices are equipped with options much better.. Here are mandatory fan, backlight, radio and even hydromassage. A very convenient solution for a modern apartment.

Dunay - a rectangular-asymmetric cabin with a deep acrylic tray, with hydromassage, with a built-in seat and anti-slip coating.

These are such popular series as Sena and Sevan, Temza and Wisla. This category has an improved design, a large set of options, and its cost is corresponding. Temza - a cabin in the shape of a quarter circle, the product contains hydromassage and touch control.

Series 8070 and Kongo, Nil and Zangu. This category is for true aesthetes. Really luxurious design, a wide variety of sizes, a large number of any possible functions.

There are 3 types of pallets for booths: very low, medium (26 cm high) and very deep (46 cm). Design booths are offered for every taste. There are options with different types and colors of doors, with built-in mirrors. The manufacturer of River has a special system of symbols, with which it will be very easy to choose the right model.

For example, the article of River Dunay 80/26 MT will mean that the product looks like a quarter circle, has a radius of 80 cm. The height of the pallet will be 26 cm, MT - frosted glass. The article of River Dunay 120/80/46 L TH represents an asymmetric cabin with dimensions of 120x80 cm, with a deep pallet of 46 cm, TH - tinted windows. Often the manufacturer can use the following designations in the specifications: B / C - cabin without a roof, G / M - product with hydromassage, P / G - design with a steam generator.

Choosing the most suitable shower cubicle for your bathroom, It is worth paying attention to a number of important parameters.

• Dimensions and appearance. Find a place for mounting the cabin, based on the possibilities of space that you have. It is worth remembering about personal comfort - people who are large in weight and height will not feel comfortable in a small cabin.

• Shower tray height. If you have a child, a high-sided sump can replace an entire bathtub. However, it will not be very convenient for elderly or weak people to climb there.

• Functionality. If for a small cottage you can choose the simplest cabin, then in the oversized bathroom of an ordinary apartment, it is best to install a medium-sized shower.

Wash the booths after each use - immediately to prevent smudges. Such measures will consist in easy cleaning of the cabin surfaces from the inside and their subsequent careful wiping. If there are no serious impurities, then the cleaning agent can not be used, but simply rinse the cab first with warm and then cool water.

The most effective cleansers include various aerosols and sprays. They need to be sprayed onto a contaminated surface, rubbed with a sponge, rinsed with water and wiped dry. It must be remembered that this tool must be sprayed over the entire volume of the product from the inside, and if necessary, from the outside. If the pallet is made of acrylic, it is forbidden to use abrasive products - powders, as well as hard brushes, will immediately spoil the surface of the product. To clean such devices, only the softest materials are selected - soft sponges, for example.

Before you start washing the booth, you should make sure that the product used does not contain such components as solvents, that it lacks formaldehydes or acids. Also, when buying, you need to focus on how much the composition you purchased interacts with a certain material.

If you read the reviews of River shower buyers, it becomes clear that they are rather ambiguous.

Many consumers point out the positive assembly of the cab, the stylish design of the entire device, which fits perfectly into any room. Everyone calls the most significant plus the cost of the product: the average layman can easily purchase any model of the company.

At the same time, there are a number of significant complaints about Chinese-made products: poor-quality pallets that allow leaks, some note the tightness of the cabins, the fragility of the entire structure, which can fail and after a couple of weeks is not the most frequent operation.

Many women notice that in small designs the shelves for storage are very small, nothing fits in there, there is not enough space for shampoos and soap.

Thus, we can draw the following conclusion: River models are not very expensive, so you should not expect excellent quality from them, but at the same time they still have a number of other very interesting advantages.
