However, how do you decide which is more suitable: a corner or a cabin? What are their differences and what to choose in certain cases? To answer these questions, you should take a closer look at the features of a shower cabin and a shower corner.

The first and very obvious difference is that the shower corner has no back walls and roof. Accordingly, it is attached directly to the walls of the bathroom. For this, the waterproofing work of the bathroom must be well done. The walls must be made of moisture-resistant materials and treated with a special waterproofing compound. The shower corner must be properly attached to these walls so that neither splashes nor, especially, streams of water get not only into your bathroom, but also do not leak to neighbors or to the lower floors of your house.

As for the shower cabin, it has rear walls. The entire shower cabin structure: walls, doors, roof, tray, is attached to the frame, which is included in the kit. And already at the factory, all these individual elements are perfectly adjusted to each other. It is enough just to assemble everything according to the instructions and treat the seams with a special composition, sealant.

The second difference. There is enough space between the bathroom wall and the back walls of the shower cabin to place the water pipes. And it does not matter what they are made of: flexible hose, polypropylene, metal-plastic or even metal - there is enough space. Moreover, the pipes will not be visible. Especially for this purpose, the back walls of shower cabins are made of opaque plastic or tempered glass. Agree, it is very convenient! This simplifies the renovation of the bathroom, when you do not need to cut grooves in the walls, remove pipes, lay tiles. When installing a shower corner, it is advisable to hide the hot and cold water pipes in the walls. This will make the appearance of the bathroom more aesthetically pleasing.
Like the entire bathroom, of course, the walls to which the shower corner is attached should be tiled so that the bathroom looks harmonious. In the case of a shower cabin, this can be omitted, since the tiles behind the shower cabin will not be visible. This will allow you to save a little on both the tiles and the time it takes to lay them.
