Borderline cases and shower trays
There is nothing worse than arriving at the customer’ house and discovering a particular situation that has not been taken into account and which could compromise the results. It is, therefore, better to review together the borderline cases that could be recognized in time.
Small and non-perpendicular spaces
Sometimes it happens to find shallow shower trays (70 cm or less), showerheads close to the shower door or the presence of a shower tray badly positioned. In these cases we recommend a framed shower enclosure, possibly sliding. The framed shower enclosure, with the sliding door, is a greater guarantee in terms of water tightness. It is also good to position the shower head in such a way as to facilitate the flow of water, directly on the shower tray and not against the walls of the shower cubicle.
Fixing wall not to be drilled
In the event that the anchoring wall cannot be drilled, we recommend the installation of a framed shower enclosure, possibly self-supporting, which can be fixed to the wall with reduced plugs and careful silicone coating.
Delicate wooden floors
Depending on the bathroom flooring, the installation needs can also change. If there is a wooden floor, the shower enclosure should be installed on the shower tray and not on the floor itself, because otherwise you would risk getting the wood wet with each use. We recommend a framed shower enclosure with sliding opening, as it guarantees better containment.
Presence of windows or obstacles
A common problem when installing a shower enclosure may be the presence of windows or obstacles, which risk precluding the positioning of the cubicle in the predetermined location inside the bathroom. For our products we use, in normal conditions, support bars that are placed perpendicular to the fixed glass of the shower box. When an obstacle does not allow the support bar to be anchored, we recommend our Oblique solution, a shelf with a stabilizing function that elegantly replaces the support bar
Perpendicularity of the walls
Another key factor to consider is the perpendicularity of the walls. Sometimes, in fact, at first glance they may seem plumb, and later they turn out to be slightly inclined. We always recommend a preventive check , since the extensibility of a shower enclosure may not be sufficient to compensate for important inclinations.
