Features of a shower cabin measuring 100x80 cm

Knowing the features of a shower cabin measuring 100x80 cm is very important. This is an excellent size, but errors in choosing the right version can ruin the repair. Let's try to understand the basic characteristics and key requirements before the time comes to buy.

Showers with sizes 100x80, as well as 70x90 and 80x80 belong to the small size class. Such designs are perfect for:

• a bathroom in an old prefabricated house;
• a small private house;
• country buildings;
• medium-sized saunas in the countryside.

The bulk of showers of this size are available in Russia and China. You don’t have to rely on some impressive functionality. However, with a certain surcharge, you can always choose a suitable design. Including a shower room with a basic set of suitable components. It is equally important to distinguish between models with a deep pallet and a low pallet.

Large pallet height - at least 0.4 m. This is a great choice for lovers of foot baths or bathing children. But older people and people with limited physical abilities will face problems. Do not meet high pallets in hotels, even dormitories or saunas. This is a sure-fire way to frighten customers with man-made inconvenience.

Low pallets are better suited for typical apartments and private houses. You will not have to either increase the floor or hollow out any recesses in it. Almost any person can use a cabin with a low pallet. It will be possible to steam up on weekends, and to wash at the beginning or end of the working day. There are even models that do not require special pedestals, since the installation of drains and sewer systems is possible without them.

It is necessary to take into account the difference between the left and right showers. This difference is due to the angle in which the structure is placed. When located on the left, the longest edge of the “face” is clearly visible from the entrance to the room, then this is the “left” cabin (and vice versa). Sometimes it’s difficult to evaluate. It is even more difficult to mount the cabin in place, to connect it to sewer and water supply pipes, so you often have to call professionals.

It is easier to choose and install a symmetrical shower room, which does not create installation difficulties. It is necessary to pay attention to the functional characteristics of the cab. Additional functionality of advanced devices may include:

• aromatherapy;
• color therapy blocks;
• steam bath options;
• infrared bath options;
• sound therapy;
• whirlpool mode.

An important role is played by water conservation mode. Well-designed designs spend it significantly less than average showers. What is important, this is achieved not by reducing the functionality, but by introducing more “thin” and user-friendly modes. It all depends not only on the price category, but also on the particular manufacturer. If you have sufficient funds, you should always choose a model of Japanese or Western European origin.

In these regions of the world:

• the greatest experience in production;
• There is a long and harmonious plumbing industry;
• decent equipment of shower cabins is supported;
• manufacturers willingly give long guarantees (and, importantly, comply with them).

But both Russian and Chinese products have become much better in recent years. She "pulled herself up" both in terms of quality and in terms of design.

The next point to consider when choosing cabs 100x80 cm is their installation method. The open type includes models without a roof. The walls are either purely symbolic, or instead use the capital walls of the bathroom. Closed type - most often cabins with opaque execution. Such designs are autonomous and usually have a higher functionality compared to open versions.

So, in an open cabin does not put a cascade or rain shower. There is no place for them. However, if you only need to wash as soon as possible, this is a good solution. In addition, an open booth is relatively cheap. When it is used, the humidity in the room will increase.

It is also worth seeing what the doors and walls of shower stalls are made of. Polystyrene is relatively resistant to strong moisture and is quite light. However, its advantages are overshadowed by the insufficiently long service life. Mostly polystyrene structures are used in cottages and in private hotels. In addition, washing the plastic surface is not easy.
