Frequently asked questions about the Shower cabins category
Shower cabins — what are they and what do they include?
Shower cabins — is a compact assembly consisting of a shower tray and glass walls/doors creating an enclosed shower area. They typically include an acrylic or ceramic tray, 6–8 mm glass panels and chrome or black profiles; designed to save space and prevent water splashes.
What sizes do shower cabins come in and how to choose for a small bathroom?
Shower cabins commonly range from 70×70 to 120×90 cm and also come in custom sizes. For a small bathroom choose corner models 70×70–80×80 cm or rectangular 80×70 cm with clear glass to make the room appear larger.
Shower cabins with tray — what types of trays exist?
Shower cabins with trays use acrylic, ceramic or composite trays. Acrylic is lightweight and warm to the touch, ceramic is durable and scratch-resistant, composite combines strength and sound insulation; tray height ranges from low (10–20 mm) to high (up to ~200 mm).
What is the difference between shower walls and shower cabins?
Shower walls are fixed glass panels used as splash guards with an existing tray or floor drain. Shower cabins are complete assembled units with doors and a tray, creating a fully enclosed showering space.
When are shower cabins with a high tray suitable?
High-tray shower cabins are suitable when extra space is needed for drainage systems, to conceal plumbing, or to provide easier seating for elderly users. High trays (typically 150–200 mm) allow better drainage clearance and larger water capacity.
Can a shower cabin be installed on a sloped floor without a tray?
Yes — there are shower walls and trayless solutions designed for direct installation onto a sloped floor with a floor drain. Proper waterproofing and an appropriate slope (usually 1–2%) toward the drain are essential for effective water removal.
What glass types and finishes are available for shower walls?
Available options include clear, frosted and tinted glass 6–8 mm thick, all typically tempered safety glass. Profiles and fittings come in chrome, white or black finishes to match bathroom décor.
Which profile and fittings provide the best sealing for a shower cabin?
For best sealing choose profiles with rubber gaskets and magnetic seals on doors; aluminium or chrome profiles give rigidity and durability. Additional silicone joints at connections improve protection against leaks.
Custom shower cabins — what parameters can be customised?
Custom orders can modify dimensions (width, depth, height), tray height, glass type (clear/frosted), profile colour (chrome/black/white) and add accessories such as magnetic seals or handles.
What are features of Ravak shower cabins?

How to care for shower walls and trays?
Wipe glass with a soft cloth and mild cleaner, avoid abrasives; clean acrylic trays with warm water and mild detergent, ceramic trays with non-abrasive cleaners. Regular maintenance of silicone joints and seals extends product life.
