中文简体In modern home decoration, the shower cabin, as an important part of the bathroom, not only provides us with an independent and comfortable bathing space, but also effectively realizes the separation of dry and wet areas, and improves the overall beauty and practicality of the bathroom.
1. What is a shower cabin?
A shower cabin is a facility that separates the shower area from the rest of the bathroom. It is usually composed of a shower tray, side panels, doors, shower heads, faucets and other components to form a relatively closed space to prevent bath water from splashing and keep the bathroom dry. Common shower room shapes include square, arc, diamond, etc., which can be selected according to the size and layout of the bathroom. In addition, the materials of the shower room are diverse, including glass, acrylic, metal, etc. Different materials have different characteristics and price ranges.
2. Working principle of the shower cabin
(I) Drainage system
The shower tray is a key component of the shower cabin drainage. It generally has a certain slope, so that the bath water can flow naturally to the drain. The drain is connected to the sewer pipe to drain the water smoothly. High-quality shower trays drain quickly, are not prone to water accumulation, and can effectively prevent bacterial growth.
(II) Waterproof measures
The side panels and doors are sealed with sealing strips, water retaining strips, etc. to prevent bath water from leaking out. The quality of the sealing strips of the glass door is particularly important. It must not only have good waterproof performance, but also be durable and not easy to age. The construction process during installation also directly affects the waterproof effect, ensuring that all components are installed tightly and without gaps.
III. Types of shower cabins
(I) Simple shower cabin
This is a relatively simple shower room form, usually surrounded by tempered glass, which mainly serves the role of dry and wet separation. It is suitable for bathrooms with smaller spaces, is easy to install, and has a relatively low price. It can make the bathroom space appear simple, stylish, open and bright.
(II) Overall shower room
The overall shower room has a relatively complete function and is fully enclosed, which is suitable for bathroom spaces with larger units. It is generally equipped with shower heads, faucets, shelves and other equipment, and some also have back and foot massage functions. In winter, its fully enclosed design can effectively maintain the indoor temperature, making bathing more comfortable.
(III) Computer steam room
The computer steam room is a high-end shower room, which consists of a shower system, a steam system, a physiotherapy massage system, etc. The shower system has a top shower and a hand shower to meet different needs. The steam system emits steam through the steam hole at the bottom. You can also enjoy a medicinal bath and steam by putting in medicine to achieve the purpose of health care. Its physiotherapy massage system can provide a comfortable massage experience during bathing and relieve fatigue.
IV. How to choose a shower room?
(I) Look at the glass
Safety: Choose tempered glass. The national standard requires that the safe amount of broken glass per 50×50mm area must reach more than 40 grains. In this way, even if the glass breaks, it is not easy to hurt people.
Thickness: The thickness of the general shower room glass is 6-10mm. The appropriate thickness can ensure strength and safety.
Self-cleaning function: Some glass has imported self-cleaning coating, which can clean water stains with a wipe, making daily maintenance easier.
(II) Look at the aluminum material
The thickness of qualified shower room aluminum materials is above 1.2mm, and the aluminum material for hanging glass on the track needs to be above 1.5mm. The hardness and quality of aluminum materials affect the service life and stability of the shower room, so you should choose high-quality products.
(III) Look at the pulley
Material: The pulley seat should use pressure-resistant and weight-resistant materials, such as 304 stainless steel and high-end synthetic materials, to ensure that the pulley is smooth and durable.
Sealing: The wheel seat has good sealing, and water vapor is not easy to enter the wheel, which can ensure the smoothness of the wheel and extend its service life.
Fitness: The pulley and the track should fit tightly, with a small gap, so that it is not easy to fall off when hit by external force, avoiding safety accidents.
(IV) Consider the bathroom layout
Space size: The shower room occupies a small area, and the bathroom area can be installed in 3-5 square meters. The smallest shower room requires 4-5 square meters (about 1 meter × 1 meter), and a double shower room requires about 10 square meters (about 1.5 meters × 1.5 meters). The room height cannot be less than 2.2 meters.
Shape selection: Corner shower rooms are suitable for installation in the corner area of the bathroom to save space; narrow and long bathrooms should choose to install a straight-line shower room.
