In this video we demonstrate how to quickly and easily build a shower enclosure.

Tools and products you need:

• CW Super Premium Profile
• UW Super Premium Profile
• Tape Measure
• Pencil
• Chalk Line Marker
• Drywall Screwdriver

Here are the steps we followed:

We start by marking the space and the surface area we want to separate for the shower enclosure. We use a chalk line marker to draw the outlines on the floor. We repeat the same steps for the ceiling.

We measure the peripheral UW profiles and we tape them at the base with acoustic tape for better acoustic insulation. The we fix the profiles to the floor and ceiling using suitable fasteners.

Then we proceed with the measuring of the CW profiles. We fix the end CW profile to the wall (beforehand we have taped acoustic tape to its base). We fix the freestanding end CW profile to the peripheral UW profiles with Self-drilling screws TEX 4.2x13. Don’t forget that all CW profiles must be 10 mm shorter than the height of the room. It is important that the axial distance between the CW profiles is 60 cm for the subsequent single-layer lining of Blue Board GMFH1IR boards.

We repeat the same procedure for the other 2 walls of the shower enclosure leaving a distance of 12.5 mm (a piece of plasterboard can be used as a spacer) between the constructions of the two inner corners of the shower enclosure. This way the lined inner corner will be strong and stable.  

Additional information: 

Depending on the environmental conditions (possibility or presence of condensation in places with swimming pools, places with chemical pollutants, partition walls and linings near coastal areas or in industrial facilities, etc.) it is recommended to use special profiles and accessories reinforced with additional anti-corosion coating. Providing high level protection against corrosion guarantees that the metal stud frame of the system solution will remain unaffected by an aggressive environment for a long period of time.

The different classifications of profiles and accessories you can use are:

• Class C3-C4 - Spaces where condensation is frequent, with high levels of air pollutants caused by manufacturing processes, e.g. industrial facilities, places with swimming pools, public changing rooms and shower rooms.
• Class C5 - Buildings and areas subject to constant condensation, intense humidity and high levels of pollutants e.g. sea water or thermal baths.
