One
piece shower cubicles
The
term 'one piece' is applied to many
shower enclosures and pods. With the
Kubex Compact and Kingston models
this statement is one of fact as the
two styles are fully assembled in
the factory and delivered to your
door ready to immediately accept
your choice of shower equipment. The
Kubex Profile 900 and Kubex Eclipse
are
exceptions in so far as they are
delivered for assembly on site -
their size would make it difficult
to manoeuvre otherwise.
Once
assembled, the Profile 900 and
Eclipse share
all the watertight properties of
their
two smaller relations but with roomier internal space.
Leak free corner shower pod
The
Kingston and Profile 900 cubicles
are also available as corner models.
The 'Kingston Corner' measurements
being slightly different at 700mm x
770mm.
Pivot door, bi-fold door and curtain
shower pods
(Dimensions
and Tech)
With the exception of the Compact model, 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.
In the Profile 900 range you can
choose from
Curtain,
Pivot Door,
Bi Fold Door or
Corner entry
Models.
The Kubex Eclipse Alcove
shower pod
(Dimensions
and Tech)
This
is the newest addition to the Kubex
shower pod range. Designed
specifically to install to an 800mm
alcove, the pod is constructed from
highly durable GRP and is available
with a choice of door types (Pivot,
Bi fold
and Curtain
entry)and frame colours. This
alcove shower pod can sit directly
onto floor boards (with waste
running below floor) or with the use
of the riser leg kit (supplied) can
sit up allowing the waste to run
above floor level - making it
suitable where there are solid
floors. The tall upstand moulded
into the shower tray ensures water
cannot find any way out at the back.
Smooth curvaceous lines make clean
simple. An option roof section
completes the choice list.
Please Note: The Kubex
Eclipse is suitable for a 3 sided
recess only. If used in a corner or
mid-wall position additional side
wall/s will need to be constructed
to contain the pod.
Options and additions when you buy
Kubex showers
Kubex
shower cubicles are supplied with a
removable roof panel (with the
exception of the Eclipse Alcove
model that offers a roof section 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.
Kubex
shower pods
save 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
you will save 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 it's final
resting place, connecting supplies
and waste and the job is done.
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. As mentioned, the
Eclipse can be installed
directly on the floor (making access
quite low) or on compensator legs.
The Profile 900 sits directly
on the floor naturally providing low
access.
Possible solutions to lower step-in
height
Raising the tray height with legs
may however cause an issue for
persons who experience difficulty
stepping up. If so, you might
consider positioning an intermediate
step outside the cubicle to reduce
the transitional height.
Alternatively, you might decide to
install 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 option 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.
Profile 900 cubicle sits flat on the
floor
The
Profile 900 shower cubicle is not
designed to sit on legs. This model
sits directly on the floor and
presents a minimal step upon entry
or exit. Needless to say, the waste
must be run below floor. 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 to sit on.
Please note
Kubex
shower cubicles are supplied empty.
