Pros, cons and characteristics of Appollo showers

When designing modern bathrooms, more and more designers give preference to showers. Innovative models combine practicality, versatility and stylish appearance. The range of various designs is quite wide - they vary in price, appearance, shape and other parameters. Consider modern models on the example of Appollo showers.

Typically, cabs choose for compact bathrooms. It’s also the choice of customers who prefer multifunctionality. Modern models have a built-in radio, a hydromassage system and other features.

All designs on the market can be divided into several types.

• Closed. In product catalogs, such models are called “boxing” or “hydroboxing”. Designs are equipped with sliding doors made of plastic or glass. Closed copies are equipped with a back wall, a pipe with a siphon (for water drainage), as well as a tray. Depending on the configuration, the box may have a top cover and various massage devices.

• Half open. This type of hydroboxing does not have a back wall. Their standard equipment consists only of a sliding guard and a pallet. They are easier to install compared to closed models. Before installation, you must prepare the place in advance. Half-open models should be placed tightly adjacent to the walls.

Experts highlight a number of advantages of hydroboxes compared to conventional bathtubs.

• The first thing you should pay attention to is compactness. The small size of the cabins allows you to comfortably equip even the smallest room.
• When choosing a closed model, be sure that the spray does not get on the walls and floor.
• Taking a shower consumes much less water than when filling a bath. This is a saving of resources and money if meters are installed in the apartment. And also the discharge into the sewerage decreases, which is important for houses with a septic tank.
• Showers are much safer for young children and the elderly. Hydroboxes are recommended for people with cardiovascular problems. In a hot bath, they may feel worse, and even loss of consciousness is possible.
• Cabins are convenient even for people with disabilities. In this case, it is recommended to choose models with a low pallet.

As disadvantages, several factors are highlighted.

• It’s impossible to completely relax in the hydrobox.. You can sit or stand in the cab. This is the price for compact dimensions.
• Some use bathtubs for additional needs. For example, in it you can clean a large carpet, soak linen or tidy up a large dog. Partially offset the possibilities of the bath will help the design with a high pallet.

Choosing a shower is worth considering a number of factors.

The first parameter to pay attention to when choosing is the size of the box. The width of the model and its height are important here. Make sure all family members are comfortable inside the booth. If you make a purchase through the online store, and you do not have the opportunity to inspect the product in person, carefully evaluate the data specified in the technical specification.

Standard shapes: rectangle, square and quarter circle. Both symmetric and asymmetric models are available. If, when choosing a box for a large room, the buyer’s capabilities are limited only by price, then for compact rooms it is advisable to choose cubicles in the form of a quarter circle. Optimum sizes - 80 to 80 centimeters.

For the manufacture of most models used plumbing acrylic. You can also find products glass and wood (natural material is specially treated, protecting from moisture). Doors and partitions are made made of durable plastic or glass. Used for edging aluminum profile.

The pallet can be made of various materials. The most popular and affordable is acrylic. This type of raw material has the following qualities:

• It is a reliable and fairly lightweight material.

Enamelled steel, marble, cast iron and wood are also used for the manufacture of pallets. When buying a steel product, make a choice in favor of models with a large thickness.

The next factor to focus on is the type of door. Most manufacturers use sliding options. Swing doors are also found, but rarely. In order for the flaps to move smoothly, they are mounted on compact rollers. If possible, check the smooth movement of the doors during the purchase of a box.

And also pay attention to the following characteristics of the booths:
