Naturally, all people strive to live as comfortably as possible. Any owner wants everything in the apartment to be thought out to the smallest detail, to look modern and beautiful.
Today, there are many different design solutions that allow you to design both residential and sanitary premises. The shower ladder looks very unusual. This is a convenient bath drain. The only negative is that it cannot be installed in the apartment. It is worth dwelling on this issue in more detail.
It is safe to say that this thing is incredibly convenient and quite useful. With its help, you can free up a lot of space in the bathroom. There are different options for shower traps. As conceived by the manufacturers, this plumbing should exclude the risk of flooding. In some countries it is allowed to install shower drains. But there are exceptions. And this is Russia!
The key disadvantage of shower drains is that their installation is considered a whole redevelopment of the room. When installing such a drain, it is necessary to transfer some plumbing. That is, to make these changes, you need to acquire a special permit. But here another problem arises. Officials do not want to "give the go-ahead", bringing a lot of arguments. Of course, everything can be done bypassing the law and installing a shower ladder without the knowledge of the authorities. But this will be considered illegal redevelopment.
Why is this happening? Why is it possible everywhere, but not in Russia? Such prohibitions are based on a number of specific reasons.
- 1. The main reason, which does not allow the installation of shower drains, is to raise the floor level. Without this, it will not work to mount the drain. All communications should be hidden under the floor. At the same time, its height should be optimal and have a slope so that water can flow down. The result is an excessive load on the building floors. And this should not be allowed. Here you need to make a reservation that this is more relevant for old houses.

2. The second reason, which does not allow the installation of such plums, lies in the inaccessibility (and sometimes inaccessibility) of communications, which are walled up in the floor. If the pipes have some kind of defect, then it will not work to get to them quickly and easily. We can say that the redevelopment will endanger the peace of the neighbors living below. In case of serious problems, it will flood them.
Are there any official workarounds for the ban? There are certain exceptions that allow installing shower drains in apartments. It is possible that utilities will meet the owners who want to install a drain on a pedestal or podium.
In addition, it is not forbidden to make shower traps if free access to communications remains. This is achieved thanks to a special pallet with legs. It is also allowed to install shower drains in large apartments. The exception is those houses in which there are also ordinary residential apartments.
