One
piece shower cubicles
Kubex Compact and Kingston
are one of the only shower cubicles
that are genuinely 'one piece' in
the sense that they are delivered
fully assembled and factory sealed.
The advantages are clear. With no
construction time the ready made
'shower pod' takes less time to
install. Furthermore, you don't have
to worry about leaks because each
cubicle is assembled and jointed to
the satisfaction of the factory.
Exceptions to this
are the
Profile 900 range and the Eclipse
alcove model. The sectional nature
of these two model in no way
compromises their watertight
integrity, it simply allows sections
to pass through tighter access
routes that their fully assembled
size might prohibit.
Leak free corner showers
The
Kingston and Profile 900 cubicles
are also available as corner models.
The 'Kingston Corner' measurements
being slightly different to its
forward facing counterparts at 700mm x
770mm.
Pivot door, bi-fold door and curtain
model shower cubicles
The Kubex Kingston range can be bought with
a choice of Curtain entry,
Pivot Door,
Bi-fold door or
Corner Entry.
The
Compact can be fitted with Curtain or
Pivot door access (no bi fold
or corner option).
In the Profile 900 range you can
choose from
Curtain,
Pivot Door or
Bi Fold Door. There is no longer a
corner option in this model.
Extras
and additions
Kubex
shower cubicles are supplied
'empty'. This is to say there is no
shower equipment included (equipment
shown is for illustrative purpose
only). Shower cubicles will accept
most types of shower equipment
according to your requirements. Kubex
shower cubicles are supplied with a
removable roof panel (except the
Eclipse which has a roof panel as an
optional extra). An optional
corner seat is available on the
Kingston model only and must
be ordered at time of purchase as it
cannot be retro-fitted. Please be
aware, the optional seat is fairly
compact and should not be confused
with a full sized shower seat.
Reduced installation time
saves money
Whether you plan to buy a Kubex and
intend to install yourself, or wish
to purchase and have a handyman
install for you, there's no doubt
Kubex will save you money. After all, time
is money. With no tiling required
and minimal plumbing necessary the
job really couldn't be much simpler.
Once the shower equipment of your
choice is fitted in the cubicle
(shower equipment is not included in
the price of Kubex shower cubicles)
it really is a simple case of
securing the cubicle into place, connecting supplies
and waste and the job is finished.
Shower
tray access height
If you
are intending to install a Kubex
shower cubicle for somebody who has
difficulty stepping up into the unit
you should be aware of the different
features within the Kubex range.
The
Compact and Kingston
shower cubicles are supplied with
legs upon which the cubicle sits.
The legs (also known as
compensators) adjust to take up any
discrepancies in floor level and
allow an 'above ground waste' to be
run under the tray. Once correctly
adjusted all is hidden from view by
a plinth panel (supplied).
Possible solutions to lower the step-in
height
If stepping up into the tray is a
problem you might
consider positioning an intermediate
step outside the cubicle to reduce
the transitional height.
Alternatively, you might consider
installing the cubicle flat on the
floor (i.e. without the legs and
plinth) hence reducing the step in
height dramatically. Should you opt
for the latter you should
bear in mind that the waste trap and pipework will need to run under (or
within) the floor upon which the
cubicle sits. Be aware though,
adjustment in the support legs
provides the ability to compensate
for a floor that is out of true
(uneven or sloping), so choosing not
to use them means you will need to
ensure the surface upon which the
cubicle will sit is flat and level.
Profile 900 cubicle sits flat on the
floor
The
Profile 900 shower cubicle is
designed to sit flat on the floor. This
presents a minimal step upon entry
or exit. For this reason the waste
must be run below floor. Conversely,
should you
need to raise the Profile 900 to
accommodate an above floor waste
pipe this can be done by fabricating
studwork for the cubicle tray to sit on. |
