How to choose?
When choosing a shower, pay attention to the type of design. Usually they are divided into two types:
- corner, or open;
- closed model - boxing.
The open design is much cheaper, because it is simpler in functionality. Such a corner simply separates a certain area for the adoption of water procedures. It can be adapted in any convenient space of a bathroom. Usually, such a cabin is not covered by a dome from above.
Boxing is a closed construction with additional functions, in which there are a pallet, doors (usually sliding) and 4 walls. In the roof of the box are lights, rain showers and other optional accessories.
The dimensions of the cabins directly depend on the area of the future premises. Dimensions from 80x80 to 100x100 cm are suitable for small spaces.
Larger models can be safely installed in spacious bathrooms.
The next nuance is doors, sliding and swinging.
- If you have a small bathroom, opt for a sliding option, it does not take up too much space. Sliding structures are mounted on casters.
- Hinged doors are hinged. They are more durable compared to roller designs, although they take up space when opened.
- The size of pallets depends on the desires and abilities of consumers (for people with disabilities, low is necessary), as well as on the location of the sewer pipe. Low pallets require a pedestal or compact pump.
- Make no mistake with the choice of additional functions, read the instructions and make sure that all additional elements are present in the package.
- If there are children in the family, then it is better to opt for a model with a deep pallet, where the kids can splash around like in a mini-pool or bath.
- If your apartment is on the upper floors, pay attention to the water pressure in the pipes and the requirements for it in the technical documentation.
