Classical baths, which allow you to soak in warm water with aromatic oils and lush foam, are gradually becoming a thing of the past. They are increasingly being replaced by compact showers. And they do it not only in private houses, but also in apartments. This preference is explained not only by the small size of the shower cabin or corner, but also by the many functions built into it, which allow you to enjoy water procedures no less qualitatively.
Choice of shower cabin
There is a huge variety of shower enclosures on the market today. They differ from each other according to the following criteria:
- according to the material of manufacture;
- by installation type;
- in the form of a cabin;
- by cabin type;
- by type of pallet;
- for built-in functionality.
Production material
Shower cabins are made mainly of the combined polymeric materials. Sometimes stone or metal is used for them. However, the cost of a shower cabin made of these materials increases greatly.
type of instalation
Shower enclosures can be installed in 2 ways - integrated or portable. Integrated installation allows you to use the corner of the bathroom. But before assembling the shower cabin, you must first prepare both walls that make up the corner in which the cabin will be installed. A portable installation allows you not to veneer the corner and install a shower cabin even against a straight wall.
The shape of shower cabins can be:
- bilateral;
- quadrilateral;
- rounded.
The special organic glass used in the manufacture of the walls of the shower cabin allows you to create any shape. Shower cabins, in addition to differences in the type of installation and shape, can have an open or closed design. The open design does not have a top base, which prevents you from showering for too long.
The closed cabin design provides not only the presence of the upper base, but also, as a result, built-in additional functions. The shower tray can be made of steel, cast iron, ceramics, earthenware or polymeric materials. In addition, depending on the wishes of the customer, it can have different heights - from 10 centimeters to 1 meter.
Built-in functionality
Depending on the cost of a prefabricated shower cabin, a wide variety of functions can be taken into account in it.For example, the function of tropical or cascading rain, as well as colored lights and the ability to listen to your favorite music. The price range for shower cabins varies between 20,000 - 250,000 rubles!
How to choose the right shower enclosure
The first thing that every potential buyer of a shower cabin needs to consider is the size of the budget allocated for it. Based on it, you can begin to select exactly the cabin model that will suit its owner according to all individual criteria. One of the main selection factors is its size. The more expensive and multifunctional the shower cabin, the more space it takes up. This should be taken into account when choosing a cabin for a standard bathroom with an area of only 3 m2. Otherwise, the choice of a shower cabin is reduced to the choice of a specific model, made in accordance with the wishes of the customer.
