The best location for your new shower
It depends on the shape of your bathroom and the situation of the drainpipes. Ideally, if the bathroom floor is rectangular, place the shower in the back; If it is square, put it in a corner and if it is irregular, take advantage of the holes. Windows also condition the location: avoid them whenever you can or the window will get wet every time you shower. And how do you ventilate? If you install an open screen you will have no problem, even if you only have the usual ventilation systems that go to the roof.
How much space do I need?
A shower needs a minimum area of about 90 x 90 cm. But the idea is to try to make the shower as big as possible and have no door, because of the fewer profiles and doors, the more space and light you will have in the bathroom. "With 110 or 120 cm you can install an elongated shower without a door, only a fix screen, n, floor to ceiling and without profiles, leaving an open space to pass about 70 cm", advises Cristina Ybarra, architect of Forrester Arquitectos. The tempered glass screen is the safest option (it is five times more resistant than a traditional one). And another good idea: if you have anti-scale treatment, like the FeelNe-t3D from Duscholux, it will be easier to keep it always clean.
A shower that expands the space
A glass screen helps, but also that the floor of the bathroom and the shower are at the same level and are continuous, with an anti-slip treatment in the water area. The most economical option is to install a standard shower tray. But, although the offer of measures and forms of dishes is very broad, it may not fit the space you have. "Then, a good quality-price choice is the resin plates that are cut to size," says Ybarra. Like the dishes of Krion, Porcelanosa, a material based on resins and antibacterial minerals that can be cut and assembled creating even curved pieces.
Think of you
The usual thing is that the shower controls are placed on the same wall of the sprayer, right? Well, the advice of Cristina Ybarra is that you install them "on a wall that is not the water outlet, so you can operate them 'at a distance', without needing to get wet, and therefore you will not get burned or freeze with the water If you can, also remove the tray of gels: you will avoid that they are always soaked "and that they are a focus of bacteria . A good tip to which Cristina adds that there is no limit to the shower sprayer: XXL size, with rain or waterfall function, with color and even with music, like Jacob Delafon's Moxie. It's your moment and it should be to your liking.
