Avoiding leaky showers
Because tiled shower cubicles have the tendency to displace water,
pay close attention to the construction of shower enclosures. Don't
skimp on the linings, use a waterproof plywood or a waterproof wall
board rather than regular plasterboard. Use the best adhesive you
can afford to fix ceramic tiles. The biggest cause of leaky showers
(aside from poor shower trays) is the joint between the walls and the floor.
With most designs, you are dependent on a bead of silicone mastic
to block water. The silicone sealant will stand a much better chance
of success if the joint is tight. Laminated wall boards are a more
recent solution and these are far simpler to install and maintain
than tiles.
Shower trays vary in size, from compact square designs to spacious rectangular, five-sided and walk-in models. For a comfortable shower with plenty of room, choose the largest size that you can accommodate. Cubicles can be purchased ready-made or, depending on the shower position, you may need only a door and a side panel. A popular option is to position the shower in a corner, tiling two walls and adding
glass panels to create the third and fourth walls. Remember to allow
enough room to get in and out of the shower easily, especially if space is limited and the shower door and room door open towards
& each other. Sliding, inward-opening or bi-fold doors are a good
choice in a restricted space, or consider a large walk-in cubicle
that has no door but incorporates a drying off space so less space
is needed outside the cubicle. You will be able to find any size in the Just Shower Trays range.
There are four main types of material used to make shower trays. These are steel, acrylic, stone resin and acrylic capped resin.
Steel is less common in domestic use and is generally used in commercial applications such as retirement homes and hotels.
Acrylic trays used to be very common but received a bad reputation due to the poor build quality of trays in the past. The use of poor frameworks and minimal reinforcement meant that the trays moved when in use and often leaked. Modern acrylic trays are generally built to a very high standard and are fully reinforced. All acrylic trays are on adjustable legs and so are ideal in applications where a solid floor such a concrete is on site. The result of this higher built quality is that acrylic trays are not an inexpensive option.
Stone resin trays are by far the most common trays available. The low cost of producing the moulds for the trays makes then the most versatile in size. They are available in both legged and un-legged format (the most common being without legs). The two most common problems with resin trays relate to the quality of installation. The first is that if the un-legged tray is not bedded in properly it can cause the base of the tray to crack when in use. The second is that the colour of the tray is applied as a thin spray finish. The result of this is that if you scratch the tray when installing it, it is extremely difficult to repair.
Acrylic capped resin trays are becoming more popular. They combine the rigidity of the stone resin tray, but have the added advantage of being capped in acrylic. This produces a surface which is more resistant to impact and can be polished if scratched. They are however more costly to produce and as such are not available in the same number of sizes as the stone resin. |
