It is customary for architects, builders and contractors to design, designate, and ask users to pick up their feet and steps to the shower tray to create a shoulder for the shower. In some cases, the floor of the shower tray is lower than the floor of the bathroom. Tripping four or more inches (10 cm or more), or getting out of the shower roadside height is likely to occur for people of any age who suffer loss of mobility, balance, agility, or strength.
Perhaps, this is based on tradition, but the potential for unsafe construction practices is misunderstood, if water has to be backed up at any time, because of poor drainage or insufficient shower trays, the roadside will prevent water from running to the floor of the bathroom. However, with a good implementation framework and proper plumbing and drainage installation, it is not possible to build a shower, no shoulders and thresholds, not only leaks, but also meet building codes. Zero entry, or "free" shower items eliminate the main obstacles - and one of the most dangerous obstacles - in a bathroom while successfully preventing the penetration of stray water into the surrounding area of the shower. The cost of building a curbless shower usually does not exceed the cost of a traditional roadside shower. However, successful construction and plumbing of a curbless shower, and the need to pay special attention to the installation details and adequate supervision involving various contractors, especially when subcontractors may have little or no experience, this type of construction or can be changed. Designing a curbless shower is the most important consideration to determine the proper size. The total length and depth are critical. In general, the smaller the footprint of the shower, the harder it is to contain water, which may spill out of the shower curtain or in the simple room. More importantly, the deeper size is combined with the position of the shower head from the entrance to the back wall, which easily damages adjacent walls and floors to prevent water.
While most barrier-free facility standards define a shower curlless is a minimum buried depth of 30 inches (76 cm), the more relaxed minimum depth is 36 inches (91 cm) is recommended. A larger depth of 42 to 48 inches (107 cm to 122 cm) not only facilitates drainage, but also allows people in wheelchairs to enter the shower and water bath and access control, retaining the full range of motion. Although it recommends a shower space of 66 to 72 inches (168 cm to 183 cm) and a roll-up shower, the minimum standard length is at least 60 inches (152 cm), providing plenty of room for nanny assistance in all directions. The person in the wheelchair.
The location of the shower leak is another important part of the bathroom design, the larger the shower, the easier it is to gradually drain the shower floor. Included in the installation location "options, you can rest assured that any suspected designer, contractor or client entrance opposite the shower in a corner, as well as behind the wall of the shower, or in the surrounding simple room trough style leaks. From the entrance to The minimum slope of the drain shower tray should be one-quarter per foot (two to three centimeters in length, per meter), three-eighths of an inch, and the transition between the bathroom floor and the shower floor should be flush If the shower is particularly narrow or small, or if there is concern about overspray or drainage, just inside the entrance, an acceptable compromise for allowing the wheelchair to turn over the bevel is to create a small bevel (1:2) on the shower floor. |
