The shower base, whether built-in, tiled or elevate, allows to receive and evacuate water. It is a important element in the bathroom.
To choose your shower base, think about your evacuation system and the waterproofing. Calculate a slope of 2 to 3 cm to avoid stagnation of wastewater. Install a drain system with a 90 mm drain for extra flat bases. The base itself must have an internal inclination of 1% to 3%. Opt for a liquid waterproofing system, easy to apply and effective.
