How to choose a bath - the most dimensional element of sanitary ware
It is desirable to solve this issue of bathroom plumbing choice all together. It is necessary to estimate the area of future repairs and, in accordance with this, to select the necessary elements of the situation. Everyone should approve the purchase. And even better to order the project from the designers, and then choose from the entire list of sanitary ware: bath, shower, jacuzzi, sink, toilet, bidet.
In the market you can see a huge range of bathtubs: rectangular, round, oval, triangular, with handles, with stairs and a variety of colors. But it is more important to choose the material here.
Description of materials for bathrooms:
- steel. Such products are inexpensive. They have flaws - they do not hold heat well and can even bend under the weight of the human body.
- cast iron is a very durable material. It does not lend itself to corrosion and keeps the heat perfectly.
- porcelain is the most suitable material. Products made of it are durable and comfortable. Porcelain is made from natural raw materials: clay, feldspar, kaolin, quartz sand - environmentally friendly raw materials.
- acrylic is a special kind of plastic. Baths made of acrylic differ in quality, the number of layers of reinforcement and thickness. The thicker the acrylic layer, the better. Acrylic products are not afraid of falling on them even heavy metal objects. And the cracks that appear are easy to repair. These bathrooms are warm and pleasant to the touch.
How to choose a washbasin
The second most important issue in the selection of sanitary ware for bathrooms is the washstand material. It depends on it how often you will wash it, the tendency to scratch and chip, will we fit with the husband?
- porcelain and faience. The roasting makes it very dense, and it is not prone to the appearance of roughness and cracks. Faience is more porous. That's why it needs to be covered with a special glazing glaze. The quality of porcelain is higher and it will be more expensive to use such a washbasin. The disadvantages of porcelain and faience are fragility and heavy weight;
- metal. Stainless steel is perhaps the most durable material. It is easy to wash, but you should try not to scratch the surface.
- composite materials - a quartz and granite powder and a binder component acrylic. Such washbasins are very durable and are not afraid of either thermal or chemical influences.
- artificial stone: difficult to scratch, but easy to break.
- marble is porous, so it absorbs water and dirt.
- the glass. Such washbasins are not practical, but they look amazing.
- tree. Washbasins resemble plastic. They are not practical and very expensive.
How to choose a toilet
Modern toilet bowls are made, mainly from faience and porcelain. However, you can meet models of glass, plastic and natural stone. But when choosing a toilet, you need to take into account the height and design.
- when choosing the height, it is best to focus on the lowest member of the family;
- when choosing a design, professionals advise paying attention to suspension models. They are still floor and floor;
- type of sink from the tank - akvastop, one-button and two-button. Two-button operation saves water;
- water washout type. Reverse flushing works better than straight;
- type of toilet bowls. They are funnel-shaped, plate and visor. The latter are the most popular today.
And yet, it's nice to remember that bathroom plumbing should be selected in one style. So, having consulted with experts and having typed knowledge, it is possible to be guided confidently among variety of the necessary goods.
