Why you can not put a shower with a drain ladder

If during the repair process the bathroom seems impractical, then the installation of a shower corner will be an excellent solution. Most often it is presented in the form of a glass fence separating the shower space from the total area of ​​the bathroom. As a rule, the installation of the shower is carried out on a finished pallet purchased in a store or on a self-made one.

Speaking of a shower ladder, it should be said that this is a plumbing device that has a small size. Its main function is the collection and discharge of flowing water into the sewer.

With the help of the ladder, it is possible to equip the shower without using an additional tray. Of the most common shower traps, there are:

  1. Spot - is installed at a small distance from the wall.
  2. Corner - adapts for installation in the corner of the room.
  3. Wall - is presented in the form of a gap at the junction of the floor and the wall.

The ladder has a number of inherent disadvantages, due to which not everyone wants to put it. In order to exclude errors in installation, which often become the causes of severe consequences, it is necessary to perform a high-quality design of the shower cabin before installation.

The drain ladder is very difficult to install. Most often, its arrangement includes a set of measures that take a lot of time. For example, the floor of the whole room should be raised 13-20 cm. It is much easier to install a traditional shower tray.

Despite the fact that at first glance the cost of the ladder is less than that of the pallet, the installation process may require a large number of additional materials. The total price of the ladder device most often exceeds the cost of shower trays in the premium segment.

With a slight violation of technology, water from the line accumulates, which over time leads to increased humidity and the formation of an unpleasant odor in the room. A more negative consequence of deviations from the project during installation may be flooding of neighbors from below.

Any defect or disadvantage of an existing ladder cannot be easily eliminated. In any case, a full-fledged complex repair is required.

In addition to the described drawbacks of a shower ladder, in conclusion, I would like to say that wet and slippery tiles often carry a high level of injuries for people using showers.
