If we look at the pictures, then they cozy cabin located in the space between the wall and the stove, in a conventional kitchen. This creation of engineering is not a steel tray, it replaces the tile, which laid out at a slight angle to the catchment ladder.
The floor of the cab is raised above the floor in the kitchen. In this case, it is a necessary measure in order to disassemble the floor to install a catchment funnel. To keep water out of the booth was not included in the kitchen, it was separated from the threshold of two degrees.
Master needed bricks, tiles and moisture-resistant drywall to create a booth. Ceiling mounted plastic seamless panel. Even cooking stove looks harmoniously together with a shower, as together they are finished in the same style.

When choosing the material for the creation of his soul, it is worth paying attention to the polycarbonate. He's pretty strong, not afraid of water, and looks nice. Based on it will turn out pretty transparent cockpit door and wall.
Edging for him to do on the basis of aluminum or plastic. The door itself can be a swing, and you can put and sliding. This is easily done if you fix the wheels from the cabinet and insert them into the guide on the underside of the polycarbonate.
Due to its flexibility polycarbonate it allows you to create a variety of forms.
Not less popular to create showers and Plexiglass. It is not so firmly as polycarbonate, so it will have to frame corners made of stainless steel.
Based on simple glass obtained and air homemade construction.
It is easy to combine with the tile.
It is a good option facing - plastic lining. It can be connected easily and quickly in a single and not fearful damp panel. Fastens it on any surface completely.

The right place for the shower
The main limitation that is imposed to the site for installation of the shower - the size of the room and, of course, the availability of communications under the sink and the water supply. 
The first step, before starting to translate his dream into reality, you need to carry out preparatory work:
- Check the water supply and sewerage system. Make sure that there are no leaks, badly rusted areas. Rate quality of connections and seals. If something of poor quality, it is necessary to upgrade these elements.
- Certainly need to check the status of partitions: walls, ceiling and floor. Particular attention should be paid to the part of the floor at the location where you plan to put the booth. If required, the output level of the floor, provide a good waterproofing.
Important! Shower - is an open design. It is difficult to provide protection fences against water, and accordingly, the water impacts on the grid. Make sure to replace all the electrical appliances in the immediate vicinity of the cabin to waterproof.
Calculation of the size and choice of materials
Once a place of installation cabin everything was decided, you can begin to calculate the dimensions of the future construction. The main thing is that the cabin is not occupied by itself all the available space, but does not lose functionality due to the small size.
According to the standard shower it has dimensions of 900 by 900 millimeters. If a low pallet, the height is 2000 mm, and if the deep, the construction height is more than 200 millimeters.
Important! All sizes - are relative values, because the pick up will be necessary for the individual case. All family members should be comfortable to use design.
Cab structures can pick up the materials that are available in a wide range in the market. Widely used:
- polycarbonate;
- plastic panels;
- glass.
The most inexpensive way to mount these materials - aluminum profiles. For the erection of the fence it is possible to take a water-resistant gypsum board, which then remains only oblitsevat tiles.
Budget and nice to get to do the fence through glass blocks.
Getting Started: Tools and materials
Any work should start with the preparation of the necessary tools. Materials for the work should also be selected, starting from the design features of the future. To sum up, you need the following:
- a sewer pipe and sealing with taps;
- waterproofing;
profile, fasteners and so on. d.
To put the tray, you can take the bricks or blocks of expanded clay. To fill the pan with cement mortar will need plastic to form the shape of it. If the fence is the brick or block, you will need to prepare:
- trowel with a hammer;
- mixer for solution;
- building level.
For plastic pipes will need:
- soldering;
- Knife tube;
- screwdriver.
Also, you need to have on hand:
- gun sealant;
- roulette;
- building square.
It should be remembered that not only lay out the pan. It needs to be and oblitsevat. To finish, as a rule, tiles are used. She may require adjustment in size, so you need to have a tile cutter or grinder with a circle of stone.
If set to factory Acrylic tray, you will need a screwdriver, the sealant.
Shower cabin with his own hands: stages of creation
It is time to engage directly with the creative process of the creation of the shower stall of your dreams. As mentioned above, the pallet can be made independently, and can be purchased at the store ready-made. The second option is more simple to install, so start it off.
As a material for waterproof gypsum board fences use. Before you begin, you need to stock up on the necessary building materials. You will need:
- sheet silicate glass;
- lightweight aggregate blocks;
- brick masonry skirting;
- wall tiles;
- water-resistant tile adhesive;
- grout;
- waterproof screed;
- waterproofing.
Naturally, you will need to buy a siphon and drain. Water also must somehow get into the sewer system.
Set the plant tray
To install purchased a pallet, it is necessary to make the frame. It can take the form of a metal frame, or assembled from a bar, which is necessary to process moisture barrier composition.
The sequence of work will be as follows:
- Fasten the frame to the pallet with metal studs. One of their end is attached to the frame supports, and the other - into the holes on the edges of the pan.
- On the studs with nuts fasten metal beams. After their position will be adjusted, they need to Lock the.
- Set the pan, adjust the height and tilt. He must have a slope towards the drain.
After that, put the drain with a siphon, if they are not installed at the factory. The joints and the joints treated with a sealant.
Make their own pan
Creating your own pallet favorably the fact that it will be possible to make the cabin of arbitrary size and shape. This is especially true for the small bathroom. We adhere to the following work plan:
- The first step is preparing the solution. The mixture should be diluted, keeping the proportions specified by the manufacturer. It would be better to use a large bucket and mixer. Instead of a mixer, suitable drill with a special nozzle.
- We place the blocks on the prepared base and waterproofed. Communication between the blocks laid gangway and for draining water. To facilitate future maintenance, and communications between the units should be left free space.
- On the edge of the bumpers are building bricks, laid on its side. This will be the basis for the fences.
- The tray is filled with water-resistant tie. Layer filling approximately five millimeters.
erect Area
As the material for the erection of a brick wall using:
- Deck Mounted nanesom solution and it will be spread horizontally into a number of brick - putting it need an edge;
- to masonry was monolithic, should ensure proper dressing - for this longitudinal seams lying in adjacent rows should shift by half a brick;
- Area is being built to a height of seven series - seam thickness shall be twelve millimeters;
- brick wall is fixed by means of steel bars - rods stacked into joints between the bricks and are driven in the main wall.
Important! So that the water does not leak out of the booth into the outer space, you need to put a curb.
install fencing
Once the area is laid out to the desired level, you can begin to put the fence. For example, consider the fence silicate glass is six millimeters thick:
- On the corner of the wall and at its upper edge attaches one corner plastic profile. Securely attach it to help dowel plugs and shock screws.
- Glass profile fixed sealant. To ensure safety on the edges of the glass, which remained open, is chamfered.
- As the door of the booth will be installed curtain. It will hold on the frame of stainless pipe. For wall pipe will be fixed flanges.
As you can see, everything is quite simple. With due diligence, patience, and skill to the task can be handled quite easily and quickly. However, we consider the simplest variant, if the task is to create a shower of more complex form and with additional features, it will require more time and experience. In any case, if we do nothing, then nothing will!
