How satisfied are you with the bathroom decor? This is worth considering, because its comfort largely determines your morning mood. Unfortunately, the dimensions of the bathrooms, even in new buildings, leave much to be desired. The most cardinal and rational option is the choice of installing a compact shower corner instead of a bulky bathroom. The most popular models of this Finnish plumbing Timo are 90x90 cm.
Benefits of Shower Enclosures
Of course, these are sizes. Installing a neat shower corner allows you to free up space that you can leave free, or you can use to place racks, other furniture for the bathroom, or, for example, a washing machine. The use of this plumbing can reduce water consumption, as well as the cost of water disposal.
Usually, height of pallets Timo -15 cm, which is comfortable for entry and exit. This option is especially relevant for older family members. Taking a shower in a specially equipped room is much more convenient and hygienic than standing in a bath. No puddles on the floor. The closest competitor to such a corner is the shower. Of course, it can be much more functional: various operating modes, backlight, radio. but and the price of a good quality shower is much higher.
Showers are both closed and open type. The open type implies the presence of a certain “floor” in the structure, there must be walls and doors. In the construction of a closed type there is also a roof. Most showers are open, i.e. without a roof.
This type of design does not interfere with the air exchange in the room and relieves the bathing person of the "bath effect".
Shapes and sizes and showers of Timo
The most popular models are designed for a pallet in the form of a quarter circle. The smoothness of the front line allows, for example, Timo TL-1101 fit into almost any interior. This form is the most ergonomic.
Pentagonal patterns such as Timo BY-839give the interior of the bathroom a lot of rigor. The design in the shape of a square looks the most extraordinary and stylish. If this is your choice, pay attention to Timo TL – 9002.
The minimum ratio of the length and width of the shower enclosure is 80x80 cm. These parameters, for example, have Timo TL-8001. However, the choice of the most compact option is not always successful. You should not be crowded.
The easiest test for freedom of movement: stand in the center of the corner, rest your arms bent at the elbows in your sides and twist. If the walls do not restrict movement, then the dimensions of the corner are suitable for you, if you feel discomfort - a shower corner with a tray 90x90 (Timo TL – 9002) or 100x100 cm is more suitable for you.
Shower enclosures and fences
Another important factor when choosing is the arrangement of the drain. This is usually a pallet. Timo pallets are made from high quality fiberglass reinforced acrylic.
This material is pleasant to the touch, is well washed, does not turn yellow with time and does not emit any toxic substances.
The Finnish manufacturer offers both corners equipped with a pallet and shower enclosures - walls and doors without a pallet. In this case, you equip the drain yourself, for example, by creating a small podium in the bathroom, tiled. Timo shower enclosures (Timo ALTTI-609 F, Timo ALTTI-611), as well as corners with a tray, can be of different shapes and sizes.
Doors: opening type and material
Timo shower enclosures are available on the market with both swing and sliding doors. Hinges require more free space in the bathroom. Buyers often prefer more ergonomic options, so in the Timo catalog you will find corners equipped with sliding doors with 4 silent metal double rollers.
The walls of the shower enclosure can be made of polystyrene or glass. Models made of plastic are cheaper, but they lose their attractiveness much faster - they grow dull, fade. Glass is much more durable and, with proper care, retains an attractive appearance for decades. When assembling Timo models, tempered, impact-resistant, transparent or frosted glass with a thickness of 6 mm is used.
