Sizes of shower cabins: small, large, angular, with bath, rectangular

The sizes of bathrooms are very diverse. Therefore, the question arises: can and should it be necessary to install a shower in the bathroom, because its size may not allow it.

The assortment of shower cabins is huge. In the specialized outlets you can find two types of shower cabins.

The first type includes shower corners or simply pallets with a special curtain. The second type includes hydraulic boxes. What is the fundamental difference between these options?

The shower corner is the most affordable option. In this case, a shower tray is installed, there are no special rear walls and a ceiling, their function is to cover the walls and ceiling of the bathroom.

The pallet can be enclosed by a special screen or a conventional shower curtain on the bar. Plumbing equipment in this case can be installed very differently from a conventional mixer with a shower, to a wall shower panel with hydromassage jets, a rain shower and other options.

The biggest disadvantage of this option is that the bathroom walls are constantly exposed to moisture and mold can occur on them. Another problem is the possibility of depressurizing joints between the pallets and the walls.

More expensive option. It is completely sealed, the walls and ceiling of the box are usually made of plastic or tempered glass, all seams and joints are sealed with special rubber or silicone gaskets.

For example, in "Khrushchev" the bathroom has about a little more than two square meters. Therefore, if you install a shower in a small room, you should abandon the bath.

If the choice is between installing a shower enclosure or a bath, you should seriously approach this issue and weigh all the advantages and disadvantages of using each product.

You also need to think through the purchase or the cabin will not interfere with other bathroom equipment. Access to the structure must also be open for repair work or for inspection.

In the plumbing market you can find a large selection of shower cabins. Among the huge variety of models it is very difficult to make a deliberate and correct decision. Therefore, you need to first determine the choice of the size of the shower, and then choose the shape and color shade.

Due to the variety of shower enclosure dimensions, many buyers make a choice in their favor. This plumbing fixture will be an ideal solution for small area bathrooms.

The assortment of shower trays and boxes is represented by an orginal number of sizes, shapes and modifications. If no size is suitable for you, then you can order a non-standard sized custom-made bottle according to the individual order.

Let's get acquainted with the minimum and maximum parameters of shower cabins closer.

Shower cubicle width:

• the smallest size is 0.75 m and is only possible with asymmetric models;
• the minimum size for standard models is 0.8 m;
• the maximum width of the model can be up to 1.8 m.

It should be taken into account that if the shower cubicle is wide, then it is more convenient to use it.

Also, when choosing a shower enclosure, another important factor is its height:

• , the smallest height is 1.98 m;
• the highest cabin has 2.3 m;
• the maximum height of the curtain for the shower is 2 m.

If you choose the right size shower, then, and its installation will be successful and without complications. In order not to get confused in the variety of models of shower cubicles, the buyer should be guided in what sizes are standard and which models are popular.

Among the shower cabins that have earned an excellent reputation, there are angular models, because their side walls fit tightly to the walls of the room.

By standards, the shape of the shower cubicle should be square. But it does not very often take interest among consumers. In the sanitary equipment market, there are many models of the shape of a rectangle, a semicircle, a polygon, and even a quarter of a circle is possible. A huge role is played by the size of the shower tray, as it allows you to use additional functions.

The price policy of the dushbakin depends directly on its size. This fact is also very important when choosing a device.

Standard models have dimensions of 0.8x0.8 m, 1.0x1.0 m and 1.35x1.35 m. And for non-standard booths, the sizes 1.0x0.8 m are of great interest. Other dimensions of the cabs, such as 1, 1х1,1 m, 1,2х1,2 m, 1,5х0,85 m, 1,7х1,1 m, etc.

For the production of pallets use the same materials as for the production of bathtubs. The walls of the hydraulic boxes can be made of acrylic plastic or tempered glass. Profiles are made mainly of aluminum or of chrome or painted steel. The doors can be sliding or swinging, they are made of polystyrene, matte, tinted glass, and the sandblasting looks also impressive.

Is a model of standard size and quite popular among buyers of bathroom equipment. Since most bathrooms have small dimensions, this model is perfectly suitable for installation.

It is also worth considering that the presence of a bath helps to solve some household problems. For example, to wash a large blanket the washing machine will not work, and washing can not be done in the shower cubicle.

Shower enclosures measuring 0.7 x 0.7 m and 0.8 x 0.8 m are compact enough. Their main purpose is that a person can place a dushkabin even in a bathroom that has a small space.
