In the market of sanitary products, bathtubs are presented in a huge assortment. They differ both in material( manufacturing technology) and in dimensions. In addition, most models have adjustable legs, which allow you to put the product at the desired height( of course, within certain limits).But how to determine the correct height of the installation from the floor?
The issue of the height of the bath is determined by several SNiPs( this depends on the type of sanitary ware and the location of its installation).For those who are interested in the legal standards, you can cite the example of documents №№ 2 - 4 - 01;3 - 5 - 01 of 1985, although there are a number of others.
But hardly in everyday life we all focus only on the accepted norms. For us the main thing is the convenience of using the bathroom. And this is not a single standard for "all" to fit it will not work. After all, practically in every family there are people not only of different ages, growth and complexion. Each is different and the state of health, and the ability to move.
Therefore, the choice of the height of the installation of the bath should take into account the convenience for all who will use it. Moreover, no one has the right to control the correct installation of the product in the home. This is the sole decision( including, and height) of the owner. But how to choose this "golden mean"?
What to take into account
To determine the optimal location of the bath, you need to answer a number of questions:
- will not the chosen installation option cause the injury?
- is it convenient to clean the bathroom, rinse the laundry during the washing process?(By the way, it depends not only on the model of the machine, as some things still have to be washed by hand);
- will this access provide free access to communication routes and sanitary elements during maintenance or repair?
The depth of the bath itself is also one of the determining factors.
Answers to these purely practical questions will allow you to correctly navigate with the installation of the bath.
In general, the height is selected on the order of 60 - 65 cm( shown in the picture).
This is averaged value, in which all members of the family will be able to use the bathroom without experiencing any inconvenience. If it is a question of children's institutions, premises for people with disabilities, this indicator decreases by 10-15 cm( up to 50).
In many forums there is an active discussion of this issue. Naturally, everyone argues the parameter designated by him. But, as practice shows, bath installation to a height of less than 50 and more than 70 cm is not practical , as it is associated with further inconveniences of use. Therefore, it is undesirable to acquire a too "deep" model, even if in all other respects it wins over analogues.
