Motor shower pan, also known as mud shower pan, refers to shower base that is manually constructed using concrete. Once the motor shower pan is created, it forms a drain that contains the floor of the shower. Usually, the shower pans are leaned to a central drain and then completed with a tile surface. The use or aim of having a finished shower pan is to build a firm shower floor that is stable and quickly drains the shower water. Normally, the used shower water drains through a primary drain; however, some don't. The job of the shower pan, other than draining the wastewater is to pass on the water that has pierced the surface of the cascade floor back into the channel. The purpose of having a well-constructed shower pan is to redirect water back to the drain using an embedded waterproof membrane which is put in a way that it is inclined towards and wrapped to the drain. This creation or construction has individual weep holes that allow the water to penetrate back to and into the sewage. The shower base which is constructed without a proper system of waterproofing or a shower liner allows water to pass voluntarily through the base into the wall structures as well as the floors. Concrete that is used to build shower pans are usually permeable and allows water to pass through it without the system of a shower liner. Old school shower pan The market is flooded with several ready-made shower pan systems that can be installed when constructing a shower. Even then, it cannot beat the old-style handmade concrete shower pan. Shower pans that are pre-constructed or pre-made offer the speed and simplicity of installation, however, these are not great when talking about strength, rigidity as well as flexibility of a hand-made shower pan. Building mortar shower pans A hand-built shower pan is typically constructed in layers and is built or installed around a shower drain assembly.

• The first step involves framing of shower walls, curbing and then installing wall blocking in order to build a shower base box.
• After the wall blockings are installed, build a shower drain assembly.
• Conceal shower base with tarpaper.
• Drizzle first mortar base layer and then install a water-resistant shower liner over the mortar layer.
• Give a tile finish to the final mortar layer.

Constructing a mortar shower pan is all about layers and takes a little time and hard work. The result will be a durable, long-lasting shower base. However, before you start constructing a new shower, ensure that you have a firm sub-floor and a suitable shower drain in place. It is equally essential to test-fit the drain flange to make sure that it works well with the shower base.

A skin rash is typically associated with redness, bumps, and irritation in the form of itchiness or burning. Anything that makes the skin look abnormal can be classified as a rash. Any number of reasons can trigger such rashes. There are several websites online which provide a lot of information about skin conditions. These descriptions can be detailed and can be accompanied by skin rash photos. However these skin rash pictures are mere representations to help you identify the condition, and it is always advisable to consult your physician, especially if it is something that has persisted for a long time. Granuloma Annulare: The symptoms of this type of rash includes rings of red, firm bumps on the hand, feet or forearms. If a skin rash shows these symptoms, a doctor can easily diagnose it through a biopsy. The treatment for this can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Often, it disappears on its own, but some doctors may use liquid nitrogen to freeze the lesions. Oral drugs are always an option if quick relief is needed from the symptoms. Psoriasis: This skin rash problem can be difficult to deal with because of red, bumpy, scale-like formations. Psoriasis appears on the scalp, elbows, and knees. This rash is triggered due to genetic predisposition and certain environmental factors. The t-cells in the immune system tend to attack healthy skin cells like they would during an infection. Before the dead skin can be sloughed off, the healthy skin rises causing the development of patchy skin. Psoriasis can be treated in several ways; some of which include managing flareups using home remedies and natural products. For more intensive care, oral drugs and over-the-counter medications are always available. Skin rashes can cause distress because it tends to prevent a person from going through their day-to-day activities. The itching and the redness can be both an embarrassment and distraction. However, with effective and timely treatments, skin rashes become easier to deal with.

Grill covers play an integral role when it comes to keeping gas grills safe. When you keep grills in the open, they are exposed to the elements of the weather, sun, snow, rain, and wind. This can damage the uncovered outdoor grill even if they are expensive models that come with built-in protection. A grill cover also protects the grill from dust, pollen, other particulate matter and bird nests. To protect your gas grill, you should buy a reliable grill cover. You might find covers made from a number of materials but you should only pick the ones that are durable. Following are the materials that are widely used for making high-quality commercial grill covers. Polyester Polyester is the most common material used for making grill covers. The reason is that the advantages that polyester has over other materials are far too many. For example, the material is lightweight, extremely versatile, easy to clean, and durable. Polyester grill covers are ideal for use in humid climates, as they dry up quickly. Additionally, they work well in extreme summer heat, winter frost, and heavy rains as well. For making polyester covers water and sunlight resistant, the polyester fibers are chemically treated. Canvas Canvas is another tough material used to make grill covers. Also used in the manufacture of camping tents, shoes, awnings, and boating sails, canvas is a superb choice when it comes to making an outdoor grill cover. The material is weatherproof, fireproof, and long-lasting. Besides durability, the canvas is highly affordable as well. Vinyl Vinyl is a great material choice to produce waterproof grill covers that provide a shield to the grill from rain and snow. As only the thicker versions can provide such protection, you would need to choose grill covers that are made of heavy-duty vinyl. For keeping grill covers functional for a long time, you should maintain them properly. You should keep the grill in the shade so that there is no overexposure to sun and rain. To clean dirt and debris accumulated on the cover, you should clean it appropriately.
