How to choose?
The first thing you pay attention to when choosing a product is its size, since it should fit into the room, and not litter it.
The second is the type of construction. The shower can be open or closed. The first option does not have a wall on top, because of this the cost of such products is lower. The disadvantage of an open shower can be considered that it will lack a number of functions, for example:
- rain shower;
- cascading shower;
- Turkish bath.
If the bathroom has an area of over 8 square meters, then you can choose a model of absolutely any size, but with a smaller square it is better to choose models 80x80 cm or 100x100 cm. In this case, it is better to prefer a semicircular shape.
If the apartment in which the shower is purchased is located above the 8th floor, then it is worth considering that the water pressure will be lower than on the first floors. Due to such features, not all cab functions can work, therefore, in this case it is worthwhile to purchase models in which pressure starts from 1.5 bar.
