Shower cabin - this is a very compact option for small bathrooms or small apartments. Of course, banal baths have not lost their relevance, but more and more people want to equip the shower in the house. An integral part of the latter is a pallet. This is the name of the base on which the entire structure is mounted. Of course, this shower item must be reliable and sound. But the aesthetic side of life, too, has not been canceled. So, let's look at the shower tray pallets, their basic shapes and sizes.
Variety of sizes of shower trays
Shops and plumbing markets usually offer standard sizes. Small-sized do not require large areas for installation, and are also easy to install. The smallest at the shower tray 70x70 cm. Such a base is ideal, for example, for rooms in a hostel or communal apartments, if you want to have a personal shower. Slightly more places are occupied by models with a size of 80x80 cm and shower trays of 90x90 cm. However, in such products, the area for maneuvers is extremely limited. The most convenient are the shower trays 100x100 cm. In such a product, a person who is thin or with a considerable complexion will be accommodated freely. Moreover, if you want, you can find a plumber with sides 110x110, 120x120 cm and 130x130 cm. These are medium-sized structures.
It is clear that the above dimensions are typical for pallets with a square shape. Rectangular and asymmetric shower trays meet sizes 120x80 cm, 110x90 cm, 120x80 cm and 120x90 cm and 110x100.
For sale, you can find large models and for those who do not like restrictions, for example, a pallet size of 170x80 cm. In general, choose your taste and preferences.
There are pallets for shower cabins with such a parameter as the height of the rails. A deep shower tray with a height of boards from 18 cm and above will, if desired, not only take a shower, but also soak up the bathroom in a semi-sitting position. Models with an average indicator reach heights of 10-18 cm. Shower cabins with a low pallet do not exceed 5 cm. Such models are suitable for people of advanced age or with sick legs.
By the way, low pallets are mounted in the floor, that is, capitally. If we talk about high pallets, then they are installed on special metal frames. This not only protects against breakage, but also allows you to hide various plumbing communications.
Varieties of the shape of shower trays
One of the most popular is the angular shape. This model of the shower tray is convenient to install in the corner of the bathroom or other room. In addition, the corner tray saves a lot of space, releasing it, for example, for a washing machine or bidet. There are products with equal sides. Also in the plumbing market you can find corner pallets with different sides length. The side opposite to the angle can be round or sloping. There is also a pentagonal version of the corner shower tray.
No less popular are square pallets for shower cabins. This form can be called the most universal, since such a shower can be installed both in the corner and in any other place in the bathroom.
Rectangular shower trays require much more space for installation than the above described bases. But the level of comfort for washing in them is incomparably higher.
Do you like anything unusual? Give preference to the quaint semi-oval, which can be installed near the wall. Equally impressive are round or oval models. They are mounted most often in the center of the bathroom. A rather original shower set on a trapezoidal pallet.
