Shower Enclosure and Tray Installation

28.08.2010

A Shower Enclosure makes good use of a small space, because it takes up limited floor space in even the smallest bathroom. For the installation to be a success, spend some time upfront planning the project and assessing any groundwork that’s needed. Laying the groundwork for your Shower Enclosure

Before you begin installing a Shower Enclosure, you need to address a couple of points. First, the shower requires a wood framing to support the walls of the shower enclosure (see Figure 1). If the shower is placed in a corner only, fewer walls must be constructed. In either case, the manufacturer will supply a layout plan for the Shower Enclosure. Follow it carefully. The wall studs are usually placed closer together than on a standard wall.

One advantage to installing this type of Shower Enclosure is that the showers wall panels are mounted directly to the wall studs, so drywall or backerboard isn’t necessary. Before the shower stall is installed, you can plan ahead and install wood backing for grab bars. Consult the manufacturer’s installation instructions to find out the type of backing that is needed to support a grab bar. In most cases, solid backing of 2-x-6 lumber nailed between the wall studs is required.

Second, you’ll want to hire a plumber to install the rough-in plumbing. The Shower Enclosure requires a 2-inch drain centered in the enclosure. The rough-in dimensions give the exact measurements for its location. Unless you’re experienced with plumbing, this part of the project is best left to a professional plumber. Have the plumber also install the drain fittings in the shower receptor that meet the local plumbing code requirements.

Installing a Shower Enclosure

To install a shower enclosure, you need these materials:

» 2-x-4s or 2-x-6s » 2-inch masking tape » Carpenter’s square » Dropcloth » Electric drill » Hammer » Hole saw or jigsaw with fine-tooth blade (32 teeth per inch) » Level » Measuring tape » Pliers » Putty knife » Safety glasses » Screwdrivers » Silicone sealant (for shower door installation) » Utility knife » Woodworking tools

Follow these instructions to install a shower enclosure.


1. Open the packaging and identify all the parts and components of the enclosure.

2. Place the shower receptor in the enclosure and check that it’s level and doesn’t rock back and forth.

You may have to install shims under the receptor. Put the necessary shims in place and retest the level of the shower. When the surface is solid, remove the shims one at a time, apply construction adhesive to them, and replace them.

3. Use galvanized roofing nails to secure the receptor to the wall framing.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation and drive the nails through the predrilled flange holes or place the nail against the top of the flange

4. Position the panels in the enclosure.

Some kits have wall panels that interlock with one another to form watertight seals. In this case, follow the manufacturer’s directions and position the panels in the enclosure in the proper sequence so they can interlock.

5. Check that the panels fit snugly against the wall framing.

The panel at the shower valve end of the enclosure can’t be placed against the studs yet because of the rough-in plumbing.

6. Mark the location of the shower valve and shower riser pipe by making a cardboard template of the location of the valve and shower head pipe.

7. Place the template on the shower enclosure panel and drill a pilot hole at the center of the cutout to guide the hole saw.

Use a hole saw or jigsaw with a fine-tooth saw blade to make the holes for the valve controls and the shower head pipe.

8. Install the shower wall panel on which the shower valve is located.

Check that all panels are properly aligned and square and the shower valve and shower head pipe are properly aligned.

9. Fasten the panels to the wall framing with galvanized roofing nails.

Whenever there is a gap between the wall stud and the shower wall panel, insert a wood shim before driving the nail.

10. Apply silicone caulk to all joints in the Shower Enclosure

Whenever there is a gap between the wall stud and the shower wall panel, insert a wood shim before driving the nail.

    Milano Baths

    23.01.2010

    Baths are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The Milano range of baths covers all the popular styles - from standard rectangular baths to the very latest showerbath or corner bath designs. We are sure to have shape that suits you.

    Modern baths are generally manufactured from acrylic or steel, here are the features and benefits of these two materials.

    Design

    With steel baths due to the ralatively high cost of manufacturing tools and the relative inflexibility of the material they tend to be simpler in design, this is why you don't find many steel corner baths, or showerbaths. The manufacturing process for acrylic baths is simpler, the tools are cheaper, and the material is much easier to mould therefore designs tend to be more wide ranging and elaborate.

    Thermal Properties

    Steel as a material conducts heat well and so the water in a steel bath will cool more quickly than in an acrylic bath. However please be aware that this effect will normally be so small that it won't affect your bathing experience. Acrylic baths retain heat better than steel baths are warmer to the touch. This is due to the thermal property of the acrylic itself added to the effect of the glass fibre reinforcment which covers the back of acrylic baths.

    Surface Finish

    Good quality steel baths, such as the Milano steel bath are finished with a hardwearing enamel surface that will give many years of trouble free use. Please be aware however that should the enamel become damaged it will need professional attention to repair it and the bath may need replacing. Good quality acrylic baths (those manufactured from sanitary grade acrylic, such as the Milano range) will also give many years of trouble free use with the added advantage that small surface scratches and blemishes can be polished out using 'T' Cut or a similar mild buffing agent.

    Stability

    Steel baths give the impression of being more stable when fitted, as the material is obviously less flexible to start with. Acrylic baths have suffered in the past from a poor reputation due the supply of inferior quality products. However they still have the lion's share of the market in the UK and when supplied by a reputable brand such as Milano and installed correctly they should prove sturdy and trouble free, for many years.
