Choose a corner bath 140 cm long

Choosing a corner bath 140 cm long must be very careful and thorough. This type of plumbing allows you to save space as much as possible.

A 140 cm long bathtub is a simple and concise product. It is definitely recommended for installation in apartments with a small footage. The opinion that most people need a swimming tank with a length of 170 cm and even more is largely incorrect. But you still need to take into account the objective limitations that the room itself creates. A small bathtub can have a variety of shapes, but angular execution is best suited.

No wonder it has become fashionable. But it is incorrect to assume that all corner structures are suitable for medium-sized rooms. They most often use asymmetric products, which will occupy a smaller area than their direct counterparts. In this case, the bowl turns out even a little wider. Because the corner bath is considered a very ergonomic and comfortable kind of plumbing equipment.

Many models of this form can be performed in a very unusual way. They become not just a place for washing, but a real decoration of the bathroom. True, for an exclusive or carefully thought out by designers a typical bath will have to give extra money. Besides, corner bath compatible with a wide range of additional options and accessories. With rare exceptions, models of such plumbing are made both in the right and left versions, which greatly facilitates the arrangement of the house.

The first step in choosing a corner bath 140 cm long is naturally the search for the right material. And many people rightly prefer the popular acrylic. He is appreciated for:

• low thermal conductivity;
• comparative ease;
• ease of maintenance in good hygiene;
• long-term maintenance of water temperature.

And it's not about mechanical impact - hardly anyone will hit the bath with the necessary force to destroy it. Even the best acrylic grades are afraid of aggressive detergents, especially with abrasive additives. If a choice is made in favor of this particular material, it is necessary to check additionally how thick sheets of acrylic the manufacturer used. Decent models can not be thinner than 0.4 cm, and ideal in quality and do have a thickness of at least 0.5 cm.

But dubious products, made incomprehensibly where and not clearly by whom, are formed from a thin sheet. It is additionally covered with an ABS layer. This coating increases rigidity and resistance to shock. But gradually the owners will find an unpleasant “surprise” - the surface of the bath turns yellow. And nothing can be done about it.

Next, you should consider the bath enameled steel. The thickness of the steel sheet may be less (0.15-0.35 cm), but this, of course, does not provide real space savings. The thicker the walls, the stronger (and more expensive) the bathtub. The high cost of some models is associated with the use of devices that improve water flow and subsequent treatment. It is worth noting that in a steel tank, collecting water without noise will not work, and inside it it will quickly cool.

A traditional and still popular option is cast iron. It is much better than steel (although worse than acrylic) holds the temperature. The cast-iron surface perfectly resists mechanical stress and even abrasives. However, the selection of suitable models is very difficult. And the mass of the construction will discourage many.

In addition to these points, when choosing a specific model, you need to consider:

• reviews about her;
• bowl depth;
• the height and width of the bath;
• additional accessories and options included in the kit.

In the category 140x90 cm, you can choose an acrylic bath Cersanit Joanna 140 R. The height of the Polish product is 42 cm. Together with the support it reaches 58.5 cm. Its internal volume is 185 liters. You can not put hydromassage equipment in it.

Other features:

• asymmetric design;
• cutting-edge design style;
• the ability to adjust the height of the legs;
• overflow and head restraint must be purchased separately.

A good alternative to her is Riho Lyra 140 L. The design can be built in or mounted on the floor. In the second option, there is a choice between the legs and the frame. The volume is slightly larger than the Polish counterpart - 190 liters.

Other parameters:

• anti-slip coating is not provided;
• the external cross-section of the drain is 5.2 cm;
• there is a built-in seat;
• excellent acrylic is used for the manufacture;
• branded antibacterial coating is used.

When choosing a bathtub measuring 140x70 cm, you should pay attention to the model BelBagno BB101-140-70. Its height is 40 cm. As in previous cases, you will have to give up hydromassage. Count on anti-slip coating is also not worth it. But the drain here is slightly larger than with previous devices - 5.5 cm.
