Asymmetric bath: choice, sizes, angled options

How much attention is paid to color when repairing a bathroom. And this, of course, is correct. Color is a mood, one of the main psycho-emotional components of the interior. But after all, the interior is not only a color, it is a general filling of the interior. The size, shape, style of furniture and plumbing play an equally important role in creating a harmonious space.

Try to abandon the standard way of creating a bathroom design and build the entire interior, including selecting a palette, starting from one thing. For example, a bath. To build the most ordinary sanitary equipment in the head of the design concept will allow an asymmetric bath. Modern production allows you to practically not limit yourself in the choice of shapes, sizes, colors and materials.

Asymmetric baths are gaining popularity due to a number of undeniable advantages:

• Creation of a non-standard individual interior. How much, in fact, can be installed in the bathrooms the same type of rectangular bathtub, except perhaps in size? Asymmetric bath allows you to end stereotypes, animates the interior of the bathroom. Install such a bath, and it will attract attention more than scarlet towels!
• A solution for small bathrooms. The problem of a small area of ​​the bathroom is relevant for many apartment owners. Often the installation of a standard bath reduces the useful area of ​​the room. The optimal solution is the purchase of a corner asymmetric bath. It will allow you to maximize the precious square meters without compromising the ergonomics of the room.
• A variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Using an asymmetric bath is not just a departure from the standard rectangular plumbing. This is a wide open space for imagination, allowing to realize almost any design idea.
• Functionality. Many asymmetrical models with internal lines repeat the contour of the body, equipped with handles, armrests, headrests. But it is worth mentioning that such a set of useful parts most often have acrylic bathtubs, in which you can also mount a whirlpool system and even lighting.

In the shops of exclusive plumbing, you can find asymmetric baths made of wood, stone and even glass. However, such a pleasure is unlikely to be affordable to an ordinary resident of a high-rise building.

Models of asymmetric baths that can be found in conventional building stores are divided into 3 types depending on the material from which they are made.

The material acrylic was invented in the first half of the 20th century. However, its wide application in the construction and repair industry began relatively recently. Here, acrylic bathtubs are still unfamiliar to many, but their popularity is growing every day.

All variety of shapes and colors in the production of asymmetric baths is possible due to the use of acrylic. This material is easily molded and painted, resistant to abrasion, does not burn out, is simple during operation and maintenance. Acrylic is the choice of connoisseurs of progress achievements, modern and multifunctional solutions. Another plus of asymmetric baths made of acrylic is their light weight, which significantly affects the installation process of the bathtub.

If acrylic is modern in the production of sanitary ware, then cast iron with confidence can be called good old classics. The undoubted advantage of a bath of cast iron is that it holds the heat very well. Also to the merits can be attributed low noise when pouring water and, of course, strength. A cast-iron bath can serve literally for centuries.

But asymmetric baths of cast iron are not distinguished by a large variety of shapes due to the refractory properties of the material. As a rule, they are produced in two standard sizes: 150x70cm and 170x100cm. Basically, it's right-angled or left-side baths. But it is possible and individual order from the manufacturer. A disadvantage is the high weight of cast-iron sanitaryware, which significantly complicates the installation and requires increased requirements for the base.

Steel is also a fairly classic material in the manufacture of bathtubs. Due to the sufficient ductility of the material, the steel asymmetric baths are more diverse than the asymmetry of cast iron.

The steel asymmetric bathtub will be the optimal solution for those who are wary of modern materials. At the same time, the cost of a steel bath is very democratic.

The main aspects when choosing a bath with an asymmetric structure are the shape of the font and the size and only then the design. Depending on the dimensions, the capacity of an asymmetric bath can vary from 100 to 1000 liters.

For a very small bathroom, you can choose a corner steel or acrylic bath in size 90x90 cm. Of course, it is unlikely to luxuriate in full growth in this unlikely, but with such a hygienic task, such a baby bath will cope as well. Also, to save space, it is possible to install corner models with parameters of 150x70cm and 170x100cm.

For installation in spacious bathrooms, the choice of an asymmetric bath is limited only by finance and imagination. The length of the model can be 180cm or 200cm, maybe a round, and an oval bath, more like a small pool. An interesting solution can be a two-seater bath.

Now there is every opportunity to implement almost any design idea. Very impressive looks bath in the form of a hammock, although it is hardly convenient to use.

The name "asymmetric" such baths is due to its kind. They are characterized by polygonality, connection of sides, different in shape, length, and sometimes height, at an angle greater than 90? ?.

Depending on the configuration, asymmetric bathtubs can be divided into:

• Polygonal
• Corner
• Trapezoid
• Baths of complex shape

The profile of the polygonal bath includes at least 5 sides of the , differing in length. The joining of the sides can be completely devoid of right angles. For a free sale such asymmetric baths are a rarity. Most often they are made to order.

Jacuzzi tubs with hydromassage will give you unforgettable sensations and transfer to a state of bliss.

The contour forms three sides, combined at right angles and having different lengths. The fourth side is beveled or rounded.

Most popular. The two sides of this bath are connected in a right angle and adjoin the walls to the rooms. The third side has a round or curved shape, more rarely a straight line. For very small rooms it is possible to choose an angled asymmetric bath with a side dimension of 90x90 cm.the standard is the size of corner baths with a ratio of 1.3x0.7 meters and 1.5x1 meters.

Differ a variety of models. They have different sides heights and a combination of different geometric shapes. For example, one part of the bath is made round, and the second part is oval or rectangular and even triangular. In any case, the asymmetric bath with a complicated configuration of the font is the center around which the entire interior is built.

bath The installation of a bath, like any sanitary equipment, requires locksmithing skills. Poorly carried out plumbing work is threatened with serious trouble, including with neighbors. Therefore, it is better not to save and entrust the installation of a professional team.

Depending on the model, the installation process for various asymmetric baths may differ slightly, but in general the installation of the bath includes a number of compulsory works:

1. Close the water supply of the bathroom
2. Disassemble the old bath
3. Check for the availability or replace the overflow and drainage and water systems
4. Mount the frame
5. Installnew bath and adjust the level with the feet
6. Connect to the bath of the water supply and drainage system
7. Check the tightness of the connections, leakage eliminate
8. HardFasten the legs to a floor slope

When installing a steel bath to give it more stability, in addition to installing legs under the bath, bricks or foam blocks are placed. The space between the blocks and the bottom is filled with a mounting foam.

The advantages of installing an asymmetric bath before the traditional are more than obvious. To bring dynamics to the interior, it is not necessary to look for complex models. Even with a regular corner bathroom, you can buy a relaxing atmosphere at the spa.
