Some sometimes complain of feeling an unpleasant cold air current in the shower.To remedy it, just not install the ventilation grid just above the shower head.There is always more heat losses compared to a cabin where vapor and condensation stagnate.If the cold air flow persists when you take your shower, it may be useful to install a glass door.
The bathrooms are increasingly cramped.The compact solution is therefore often retained.A comfortable Italian shower takes up as much space as a bathtub.You must have a wall section of 140 to 160 cm.An lower dimension will not sufficiently protect the soil from splashes.A minimum of 120 cm is recommended in width.The installation of a walk -in shower on the site of an existing bathtub justifies: the area is ideal and the water points are already present.The only thing to take into account is that the evacuation must be embedded in the soil.This is not always the case, especially in older houses.
Italian showers tiled, it's pretty, but it is not recommended for practical reasons.Indeed, the joints absorb humidity and cause sealing problems and mold which are embedded under the tiles.To play the security card, choose a shower tray or channel.The main materials are acrylic, steel and composite.
The glass shower wall is the most logical choice, as it highlights the feeling of opening the walk -in shower.The glass walls are even often installed without visible profiles.A masonry shower panel is also possible, but its installation will be delicious in labor.Waterproof panels are the simplest solution for finishing the wall.They are available in acrylic or composite and easily land on the existing tiles.With a joint -free panel, you will strengthen the impression that your walk -in shower is an integral part of the bathroom.
Make sure that the flow of water is suitable for the flow of the shower head.The most popular models combine a hand shower with a rain shower.Depending on the water pressure and the model, such a shower consumes nine to twelve liters of water per minute.An average evacuation is capable of absorbing this flow.Regularly clean the siphon to prevent it from getting blocked.
Replacing a bathtub with a walk -in shower does not take too long.Of course, it all depends on the materials chosen and the required work.Count at least two days of work.If you have to mason, tile or pour a screed, it can go up to a week.The price is of course also very variable, but you can count on at least 3,500 euros for materials and installation.
Acrylic: the cheapest option.Wear resistance and ease of maintenance.Wide range of models, even if the choice is generally limited to white.Pose on the ground, always with the presence of a small walk.
Caniveau en acier : inoxydable, très hygiénique et facile d’entretien.100 % recyclable.Not cheap, and choice of less models.Bigner than synthetic.
Composite: peut se poser à fleur de sol.Practically unlimited choice in terms of design, colors and surfaces.Hygienic, easy to maintain and scratch resistant.More cold feet, because the composite stores heat.Its price is between acrylic and steel.
