What are the sizes of corner showers?

Being engaged in improvement of the apartment, it is important to pay attention to each room, and the bathroom in this series takes not the last place. It is extremely important to have the opportunity to take a shower comfortably and to do all the necessary procedures for a modern person, therefore it is necessary to choose the right cabin for this room.

The bathroom is not only a place for taking water procedures and washing things, but also the room where you can spend some time alone with yourself, relax and unwind.For this, a room with a bathroom of any size installed in it is best suited, but not in all apartments it is possible. Dimensions may be too small to fit in one space and a bathroom, and a washing machine, and lockers for all sorts of small things. That is why more and more often resort to the installation of corner showers.

This type of device allows you to save space, without reducing the comfortable space for taking a shower. Thanks to the different designs and sizes, you can easily choose exactly what you need for a particular room. Given the characteristics of people living in the apartment, you can install a booth with a high or low pallet. The latter option will be especially convenient if the repair is done for people aged or with disabilities.

Choosing a shower stall, you need to pay attention to different details.It can be semicircular structures that are attached to the corner of the shower, or full-fledged booths, where it is possible to install a large variety of different programs, both for swimming and for relaxing procedures.

The main advantages of shower cabins are:

• economy and the possibility of accommodation even in very small rooms;
• low water consumption, compared with bathing;
• expansion of space and the ability to equip it with additional and necessary elements;
• small time costs for the adoption of water procedures (especially important in a large family or in conditions of co-residence of a large number of people);
• the ability to choose the size, color, texture and material from which the booth will be made;
• the ability to create a unique style of bathroom.

There are disadvantages in these devices, which are also important to tell.

• the inability to take a bath, although with large dimensions of the pallet you can take water procedures reclining or sitting;
• depressurization of seams that connect the semicircular structure with the corner of the bathroom;
• the threat of mold on the walls of the bathroom, if not used boxing, and the angular design of the booth.

The shower cabin is a relatively new type of structure, which has modern systems for comfortable and useful showering. In addition, it is possible to make it even more enjoyable by installing music or an aroma lamp in a booth.

By itself, the cabin is quite simple in the device, among its constituent parts can be identified:

• pallet;
• cabin frame;
• partitions with walls;
• roof;
• doors or curtains;
• shower heads.

If we talk about the size, then there are standard options that are used most often. But you can also find much more unusual forms and dimensions, which depends primarily on the size of the room in which such a shower will be installed. The standard sizes include: 90x90, 120x80, 80x80, 70x70. The size of the structure depends on the free space and the type of booth itself, because it can be square, rectangular, semi-circular. Among the original forms can be distinguished pentagonal type and square with one rounded side.

A cabin with the dimensions of the 90x90 pallet will be slightly more than the standard norm, which will allow you to get more pleasant sensations from water procedures. But it is extremely important to erase space of the shower, so that a new object fits into it. Cabin 100x100 will be even more convenient for taking a shower, and with a high pallet, you can also get settled in it, like in a bathroom. Usually such structures are installed in private houses or large bathrooms of an apartment, but you can place products in a small room, but in this case there will be no space for other necessary things.

There are intermediate sizes: 100x70, 100x80, 110x80, 110x90, 120x80. They require custom cab designs. It is most convenient if it has a rectangular type, although it can be made semi-circular. The use of glass or plastic partitions and doors in any case will create a light and weightless design that will not seem out of place in a small room.

When the size of the bathroom allows you to organize a large area for swimming, you can safely use the booths with dimensions of 120x80 and 120x90, in which you can safely make a universal design with a high pallet. It will also serve as a bathroom. Having properly equipped the cabin and the pallet itself, you can not only take a dip, but also make yourself a hydromassage session, arrange bathing procedures with aromatic oils, and additionally complete the steam room box to get the effect of the sauna without leaving your home.

Not all apartments and houses have so large areas for installing large cabins. Often it is necessary to resort to the opposite effect of reducing the standard dimensions to a minimum, which can be: 60x60, 75x75, 70x90. This option is to choose if the shower is taken by people with a normal build, who do not like to spend a lot of time in the shower stall. Therefore, a large space for them will not be necessary.

Thus, the standard sizes of bath cabins are the most common and popular, but there are also deviations from such options.Everyone chooses a place for swimming, based on personal motives, the availability of free space and functions that will be carried by the cabin. The shape is also important when choosing the size. Semicircular variants are more often performed with walls of equal length. For rectangular variants, the elongated side near the bathroom wall and the shorter one going inward the room, for example, 80x100 or 120x80, is the norm.

When planning the choice of shower for a particular bathroom, it is important to weigh all the factors and make the best decision.

Important indicators will be some nuances.

• The right choice of cabin dimensions. The room should have space for a washing machine, storage of various things, or at least for the repair and prevention of the shower cabin itself. Having a number of other plumbing, it is important not to leave too little space between it and the shower.

• Do not neglect the quality of the product, although the price of it depends on it. If you choose a warrant cheaper, then there is a risk of short-lived use of the structure and recurring problem situations. In more expensive cabins, the plumbing itself, the material of the body, the pallet and other elements are several times better.
• The choice of additional functions in the booth should be thought out in advance.If you can not use something other than a simple soul, then you should not spend money on it. In the case when residents of a house or apartment like to visit a bath or sauna, you can make yourself exactly the same effect by choosing the right features.
• Choosing a booth, you should pay attention to the manufacturers and the conditions they offer. It can be very profitable to buy a product that will be assembled and tested for free, or you can independently search for those who install the equipment and check it. As a promotion, it is possible to get free delivery of the goods home.

• If the shower corner will be created on its own, it is important to take into account the many nuances. If you already have a considerable experience in this kind of work, then everything will be done without problems, and for a beginner, you need qualified assistance, advice on all issues and support at each stage of work.
• If possible, before installing the cabin, it is desirable to make a small repair in the bathroom, removing the old floor covering, and complete the floor with a waterproofing layer. This will protect neighbors from the risk of being flooded and you from unplanned financial expenses.

In order to be able to choose the right shower cubicle in your bathroom, you need to understand how to calculate the dimensions of the device relative to the room itself.

According to the standards, there are certain sizes of such a room, less than which it is impractical to make a bathroom:

• Ceilings should be above two meters, usually 2.5 m.
• The minimum width of the bathroom should be 80 cm, the maximum is chosen any.
• The length of the bathroom should be at least 120 cm to accommodate at least a small shower area. The maximum can be any.

The bathroom layout allows you to correctly pick up all the plumbing and arrange it so that it is convenient to use. If a toilet with a bathroom is combined, then it is important to leave a space between each object in the room correctly, so that it can be used without difficulty. There should be at least 30 cm between the sink and the cabin, and the sink should be placed at a distance of 20 cm from the toilet bowl. The same distance would be appropriate if there is a shower near the toilet bowl.

Sink with bath can be put closeso that it is convenient to perform hygienic procedures, even 5 cm will be a sufficient distance between objects.If the bathroom has a need to install two sinks, then between them there must be at least 30 cm of distance so that you can comfortably wash your face at once to the two occupants of the apartment.

When planning the purchase of sanitary ware, especially as expensive and overall as a shower, it is important to pay attention to manufacturers, learn about them as much as possible in order to have all the information about the advantages and disadvantages of their products and make the right choice.
