Choose a small corner bath

Small corner bathtubs are ideal for rooms with a limited amount of free space. They allow you to use every centimeter of space as practical as possible, while they will look good in all style decisions. In this material you will get acquainted with the features of the choice of corner bathtubs of small sizes.

Modern corner bathtubs have huge amount of pluses in comparison with the classic rectangular and square options.

• Corner bathtub - ideal for installation in small rooms. It allows you to effectively distribute and plan every free centimeter of the room and successfully place all the planned furniture and plumbing in the room.

• Corner bathtubs are considered the safest, since for the most part they have a rounded shape, where there are no sharp corners that children or elderly people can hit.

• Despite the angular arrangement of such bathtubs, they can be made in different forms and from different materials, as well as in a variety of designs and colors. In this regard, they are in no way inferior to the classic font options.

• Insignificant dimensions and external brevity do not overload the interior of the bathroom, make it lighter, more direct and aesthetic. In addition, such bathtubs can successfully complement a certain style or dilute a separate style solution.

• Like classic font models, corner options may include additional functions, which will make the use of this type of plumbing even more pleasant and comfortable.

• Despite the common myth, corner baths have practically the same displacement as the classic models.

The only drawback of corner fonts is that they cannot fully extend their legs, especially for tall people. The remaining disadvantages of such bathtubs will relate to a specific material manufacturing or to a separate model.

Most often, in the manufacture of bathroom fixtures for bathrooms, 5 materials are used: cast iron, metal (in the form of aluminum, steel or stainless steel), minerals, acrylic, as well as its more modern version - it was cooked.

Below will be considered the pros and cons of each of these materials when creating small corner fonts.

• Cast iron. This material is not often used to create corner bathtubs, since it does not have sufficient ductility and is difficult to process. Despite this, cast-iron bathtubs are considered the most durable, reliable and silent. However, this material has its drawbacks - primarily the heavy weight, which is why such products need a stronger installation, as well as the high cost of high-quality cast iron models. Cast iron products are usually coated with a thick layer of enamel, which may thin out over time.

• Steel. Fonts made of stainless steel are much easier to find on the market - these bathtubs can be made in any size and shape, in addition, steel is much lighter than cast iron, not particularly picky about maintenance and does not need reliable fastening.

• Acrylic. Today it is the most popular material in creating fonts. It is strong enough, can take any shape and is not particularly noisy from the impact of a stream of water. More durable are cast acrylic products. Despite its good strength, acrylic does not tolerate mechanical damage - scratches, cracks and dents will be noticeable on this material.

• He cooked. This material is a mixture of quartz and acrylic. It has a stronger and more wear-resistant structure than acrylic and has a characteristic glossy shine that sets it apart from all other materials. As in the case of acrylic, kvarilnye font can take any form, but usually cost much more than acrylic options.

• Minerals This group includes corner models made of artificial or natural stone. Most often this is artificial marble. Despite the excellent strength characteristics and resistance to abrasive products, these products more attract attention precisely with their appearance.

Modern corner bathtubs are equipped with the widest list of additional functions designed to make the operation of the font even more pleasant and comfortable.

Among them are:

• remote control;
• built-in hydro and air massage;
• automatic and manual adjustment of water supply power;
• additional armrests or soft headboards;
• seats for comfortable showering;
• safety handles and towel dryers;
• shelves for installing bathroom accessories;
• water temperature control sensors;
• backlight and chromotherapy function (light treatment);
• electronic screen for controlling functions and power settings;
• water disinfection system;
• non-slip bottom surface;
• dry start protection systems and overflow grilles.

In addition, corner baths should be provided supporting legs or hooks for fixing the unit directly to the wall.

In stores you can find symmetrical and asymmetric bath options, as well as models of non-standard shapes.

• Symmetric. Such units are completely universal, as they can look good in any corner, while reliably adhering to the walls of the bathroom. In symmetrical fonts, mixers and taps are located on the side walls or, in rare cases, on the front of the font. A common variant of symmetrical units can also be considered fonts in the form of a hexagon, which at the same time take up little space and are spacious enough to take a bath.

• Asymmetric. This group includes trapezoidal bath models and fonts according to the type of trimmed oval. Such models are divided into right-handed and left-handed. The main plus of them is that they allow you to stretch your legs and can be used for mounting shower curtains.

• Non-standard forms. Usually these are expensive models of corner baths, which are installed to maintain a certain style in the room. Moreover, usually these fonts are made to order according to the special preferences of the client. Of the non-standard forms that are found on the market most often, we can distinguish petal options and truncated drop-shaped models.

As for the sizes, all models of corner bathtubs with dimensions less than 140x140 cm (in the case of symmetrical) and 75x150 (for asymmetric) are already considered small. If we talk about small corner models, here the most popular sizes are considered to be 120x120 cm, as well as 130x130 cm. The capacity of the font itself in this case can range from 200 to 300 liters.

When choosing small corner bathtubs, several important factors need to be considered.

• Equipment. First of all, you need to evaluate the composition or dimensions of all family members who will use the corner bath. Keep in mind that overweight people will find it difficult to use this type of font, especially when it comes to an asymmetric model.

• Security. If your family has children or elderly people, exclude from the choice of models of corner bathrooms with sharp corners - fortunately, there are very few such products on the market.

• Dimensions Before heading to the store, you need to make accurate measurements of the bathroom and the area in the room where the font will be placed. It is very important to pay attention to the width of the aisle in the bathroom, as well as the location of the rest of the furniture and plumbing. To protect yourself as much as possible in this regard, make a plan of the room in advance taking into account the dimensions of all the furniture.

• Functional. Decide why you need a font. If this unit is designed exclusively for washing or washing clothes, it will be more profitable to stop on standard models without additional functions. Buyers who want to get the most out of such plumbing can consider options with built-in features like backlighting or hydromassage.

• The material of manufacture. This is a very important factor that you must decide before going to the store. Remember that the most expensive are products made of cast iron, quartz and artificial stone, the cheapest - from steel. The most reliable in this case will be precisely cast-iron baths, but steel and acrylic are unlikely to last longer than 15 years. Also pay attention to the weight of the model - cast iron will be the heaviest, and therefore, before purchasing them, you need to plan the installation conditions in advance and prepare additional fasteners.

• Design. Choose a bath model taking into account the interior and style of your bathroom.The font should be in harmony with the color scheme of your room, emphasize or complement certain details or interior elements.

• Curtains. If in the future you plan to install curtains for the bathroom, you should choose models with curtains and a bar of the same shape. Otherwise, you will have to spend a lot of time looking for a suitable option in the future.

• Purchase and appearance. When choosing small corner fonts, it is better to focus on the range of official websites of large manufacturers, this will protect you from buying a fake. When choosing a bath in the store, pay attention to the appearance of the model. Make sure that there are no scratches, chips, bends, dents, or cracks on the surface of the product.
