Prefabricated structures are mounted from partitions, pallets and doors. Most often, they do not have rear walls - the walls of the room perform this function.

In the manufacture of shower trays, a variety of materials are used. All of them have certain operational qualities.

• Acrylic. A relatively new material for the production of sanitary products. Thanks to the “flexibility”, aesthetic pallets of various sizes and shapes are made from it. Acrylic is easy to maintain, durable (acrylic structures can last at least 10-15 years) and can be repaired in case of damage. The main disadvantages are fragility and high cost.

• Cast iron. Cast iron pallets are famous for their strength, durability and durability. The coatings of such pallets often slip. To reduce the risk of injury when taking a shower, you should choose models with a corrugated bottom. Other disadvantages of cast-iron pallets include their heavy weight and minimal assortment of shapes.

• Ceramics. The material is distinguished by external impeccability, durability (subject to careful handling). Ceramic pallets can organically fit into any style of interior. The products are easy to clean, they do not emit loud noises when water is supplied from a shower head. Their disadvantages include high cost and long heating.

• He cooked. This is a polymer concrete consisting of acrylic and quartz. Thanks to quartz dusting, shower trays acquire additional wear resistance. Glossy models look stylish and aesthetically pleasing. When meeting the requirements for maintenance and operation, they will maintain their external impeccability for many years.

• A rock. Most stone models are made of marble or porcelain. These designs are notable for their environmental friendliness, preservation of external impeccability over a long and intensive operation.

The stores have a large number of showers with different sizes.Depending on the size, the models are divided into small, medium and large. Models with sizes 80x80, 85x85, 90x90, 95x95 are considered standard. Products with such indicators are considered the most popular. They are often installed in small rooms. On sale there are cabins with "intermediate" sizes, for example, 70x90, 90x100, 80x90. Most often, such dimensions have non-standard designs. If the bathroom is spacious enough and a lot of space is allocated for taking a shower, choose large-sized cabins with sizes of 100x100, 110x110, 120x90. These models can comfortably accommodate a full person. For people with this complex, the acquisition of dimensional booths is a necessity.

There are quite tiny bathrooms in size, in which every centimeter is important. To preserve usable space as much as possible, owners prefer small-sized corner cabins with a low pallet. Their sizes are 60x60, 70x70, 75x75. This is the best solution for small people with normal complexion who do not like to take water procedures for a long time.

When purchasing a shower cabinet with a low tray, it is important to pay attention to several important nuances. In most cases, a successful purchase will depend on them.

• Dimensions The sizes of a shower are selected taking into account space in a bathroom. In the bathroom there should be a place for a washing machine (if its placement is provided there), various shelves, shelves and other accessories. For a small room, it is impractical to buy bulky structures that will take up a lot of space.
• The depth of the pan. The lower it is, the more convenient it is for a child or an elderly person to enter the cabin. However, it is best to refuse to purchase a product with a 5 cm pallet. According to consumer reviews, such models often become causes of flooding.
• Additional functions. It is important to consider in advance whether family members will use the options provided in certain models. If the product is purchased only for the purpose of taking a shower, there is no need to overpay for a set of additional functions.
• Design. The shower cabin should not be "knocked out" of the general style of the interior. It should be in harmony in style and color with plumbing, home decoration and decor.
• Manufacturer. The purchase of a shower cabin requires serious financial investments. However, do not look for a cheaper option from a dubious manufacturer. Budget models often use low-quality components or toxic materials that are hazardous to human health. In order not to take risks, it is recommended to give preference to a shower cabin from a well-known manufacturer.
