Shower cubicle

[Brian J Goggin]

I was hoping to be able to fit a shower cubicle in our barge. All the
cubicles I've found so far come with glass doors. Is the vibration of
the barge, when under way, likely to cause evilitude to happen to
glass doors? The floor of the bathroom is steel and, while I might be
able to get a thin rubber sheet on top of it, height restrictions mean
there isn't room for very much more to separate the shower tray from
the floor.

I'd go for a shower curtain.

Safe, Simple and cheap if you wait for bargains at lidl etc and buy a few at
a time.

Pete Hayselden.

If you are looking for exterior grade self adhesive rubber sheet, take a
look at:
http://www.kiowa.co.uk/Products/Rubber_and_Sponge_/Sponge/Bruiseproof_Sponge
/Adhesive_Backed_Bruiseproof_Sponge
It is a cushioning sponge with a hard shiny waterproof surface; a good
insulator and tough enough to walk on.

When refitting the bathroom on our barge recently we opted for a "walk in" shower cubicle design, without any doors. The downside is that these do tend to have a larger footprint, but there are no doors to worry about. From my research, the quality of the doors and their hinges/sliding mechanism seemed to be very poor unless a very expensive cubicle was specified. I also think that fitting them exactly level would be important to get them to fit and open/close correctly - and that isn't as easy in a barge as a in a house! The walk in design offered better build quality vs cost.

Hi Brian,

We have glass doors and have no problem. I preferred a larger shower
compartment so bought a larger tray. The shower was going to be in a corner
anyway so it is now across the end of our bathroom. I found a company that
would make a sliding door panel to fit heightwise so just needed a very
small return wall to line up with the sliding doors. The shower compartment
is lined with cushion floor which is totally waterproof and has the minimum
number of joins and is also a lot softer to bang your elbow into :-)

We have a corner shower unit with sliding (curved) glass doors.  We had to
use the largest extension on the wall to allow for the lack of right-angled
walls, but it's worked fine. The tray is stone and fixed with concrete.  We
also had to make the slope greater to allow for the emptying of the water
tank reducing the slope of the drain (the additional slope also increased
the non-right angles between the walls of course).  No noticeable vibrations
when underway.

We have a glass folding door on the en suite shower in the Master's Cabin,
no problem and we have been cruising quite a lot, aka bumping lock walls,
etc, etc :->
