Wall ladder. Types and benefits
Increasingly, bathrooms are being replaced by shower areas without a pallet, or as they are also called — shower areas without a barrier type. To drain water from such areas, shower channels and ladders are gaining popularity. The principle of their operation is simple: a ladder or channel is installed in the floor, connected to a sewer pipe, and water is drained through it. The popularity of their use can be explained by the fact that it is not necessary to install bulky pallets that spoil the entire aesthetics of the bathroom.
But not everything is as good as it seems, shower channels have two small drawbacks. For example: many ladders are prone to drying out, which allows odors from the sewer to enter the room. Also, the very fact of having «something» in the floor is not liked by everyone, well, it already tastes and colors.
Taking into account the above shortcomings, manufacturers of ladders have developed and released new models — built into the wall. These models have all the advantages of conventional shower channels, without having their disadvantages.
The ladder is built into the wall and becomes invisible to the eye — when installing, the same finish is used as on all the walls in the bathroom. You just need to make a recess in the wall to install a ladder of about 6 cm. Also, when installing such a ladder model, a floor slope of 1-2% is made towards the installation of the ladder, for the direction of water movement.
Shower ladders can be either with a vertical exit or with a horizontal one. Such models of shower trays are not subject to drying, due to this they are successfully used with a underfloor heating system. These systems are easy to clean, besides washing the floor in the shower does not cause any difficulties. The price of a shower ladder built into the wall is not much different from the price of a ladder built into the floor.
From this we can conclude that we should not be afraid of innovations and technologies, they only simplify our lives. This motto can easily be applied to the soul ladder of a wall installation.
