Despite the large number of advantages, modern shower cubicles will not be able to completely replace an ordinary bath, as they do not always manage to lie down comfortably and relax during water procedures.

The lack of free space inside such plumbing is a popular problem. It is not always possible to cope with it - in most cases, bathrooms in modern dwellings are small-sized and models of large sizes simply do not fit in them.

Such plumbing devices look much more modern than the standard rectangular versions. In addition, people argue that in operation they show themselves exclusively from the positive side - it is convenient to wash in them and it is easy to clean them of contaminants.

Many consumers refuse to purchase such products., as they are confident in their bulkiness. In fact, modern manufacturers offer the choice of users convenient models of various sizes - to choose the appropriate option is not difficult.

As before buying any other piece of furniture or plumbing, you first need to consider in detail what is good and what is bad for modern corner baths.

First, we will understand what features and characteristics make such plumbing equipment in demand and relevant.

• Similar models are distinguished by comfort. The angular shape provides users with maximum comfort during water treatments. People who are tall can wash in a reclining corner bath, despite its democratic dimensions.
• Corner baths are ergonomic. Such models do not take up too much space, being in the corner, and also do not block the passage in the room, so you can safely talk about the usability of such products.

• Corner baths have a stylish and modern design. They make the room more aesthetic and fashionable, while not sacrificing free space and comfort.
• Today shower cabins and boxes with additional options are very popular. Corner baths can also be equipped with various functions. Most often, people choose for this hydromassage, audio system, lighting, as well as convenient shelves on which you can arrange toiletries, shampoos, soaps and towels.Of course, multifunctional products are more expensive, but according to consumers, none of them regretted the money spent.
• Corner designs are left and right. This suggests that you can choose the best option for a room with any layout and placement of furniture.

Now it's time to get acquainted with the shortcomings characteristic of corner bowls.

• According to experts, there are more suitable models of baths to save unallocated space. Of course, the angular options do not take away the extra squares, but they do not release them much.
• Corner options are more expensive than standard rectangular options. If you want to buy a product with many additional functions, then you will have to leave a tidy sum in the store.
• Many bowls are made of materials that do not tolerate cleaning with abrasives. To this category can be attributed, for example, acrylic models. They must be cleaned very carefully and carefully so as not to damage the surface.
• When using a corner bath, more water is always consumed.
• This bath does not fit the room, made in a classic style.

Comfortable corner baths are different. Let's get acquainted with the modern variations of such plumbing.

Angular models of acrylic are among the most popular and sought after. They are found in stores more often than other baths. Acrylic itself is a special thermoplastic polymer material that is malleable in processing. Products from similar raw materials can be given any shape. Of acrylic most often produce small baths belonging to the category of economy class. Similar products can be installed in small rooms.

We list the main advantages of acrylic Jacuzzi.

• They have a very small weight, so they are easy to install and do not load overlaps. In addition, these models are more convenient for transportation.
• These baths look neat and aesthetic. Acrylic coating is smooth and low gloss. Such features are great for modern bathrooms.
• Acrylic whirlpools do not require special and expensive care.In addition, they do not lose their visual appeal even after many years.

The main nuance that you should be aware of when acquiring an acrylic bath is that it cannot be cleaned with abrasives - this can damage acrylic and damage the appearance of the product.

Also note that acrylic baths can not be called high strength. They are not recommended to drop different objects - this leads to the formation of holes. For this reason, you need to use them as carefully and carefully as possible.

Steel whirlpools are second in popularity. They are also cheap and are found in many stores. Steel as a material is processed much easier and simpler than, for example, cast iron, therefore models from such a pliable alloy have various shapes and sizes. The weight of steel baths is average, so they are also easy to transport and install.

Such models have several disadvantages.

• They are not stable. Due to the low weight and features of the angular design, they must be mounted with support for 3 walls. The frame at the same time should only be reinforced.
• Steel bowls cool down very quickly.The water in these baths just as soon ceases to be warm or hot.

• Baths of steel are very noisy. When typing water, their walls always vibrate, which significantly enhances the sound of falling drops, which causes a lot of noise.
• Enamel on steel baths are often quite fragile. By themselves, the models of steel are thin-walled, because of which under the action of loads and impacts are subjected to deformation. This often leads to cracking of the enamel on the plumbing surface.
• Steel models can not boast a long service life. With regular use, this corner bath can last no more than 10-15 years.
• Steel baths are difficult to repair. Enamel on such bowls wears out the fastest, and restoring it is almost impossible.

Cast iron is one of the most famous materials that has been used for many years in the manufacture of sanitary appliances.He became famous for his reliability and durability. It is very difficult to damage a cast iron bath - it is not afraid of shocks or deformations.

However, in modern stores, iron corner baths are extremely rare. Most often they are made to order. Low popularity of such models due to their impressive weight, which can reach 150 kg. In addition, these products are not cheap. The cost of high-quality cast-iron bath starts from 50-80 thousand rubles.

The main advantages of corner baths made of cast iron are:

• Undoubted durability. The service life of such plumbing exceeds 50 years.
• These models are very reliable and durable. The thickness of the walls in them starts from the mark of 8 mm, so they are not afraid of mechanical damage.
• Cast iron baths are characterized by low thermal conductivity.
• Such models are maintainable.

When choosing a quality cast iron bath, experts recommend paying attention to its weight. Angular options of cast iron often weigh 150-170 kg.Of course, in this case the depth and size of the plumbing bowl is important. It is recommended to install such baths only in rooms with reliable ceilings that can withstand heavy loads.

Beautiful and comfortable angular shaped baths are available with various dimensional parameters. They are both large and medium, and compact. In choosing the best option, you must consider the size of your bathroom. Symmetric and asymmetrical variations of angular products differ in shape.

Standard symmetric specimens have simple and regular shapes. Similar options of the big sizes look soundly and presentably. Use them as convenient as possible. However, it is possible to install these dimensional copies only in rooms with a spacious area. Symmetric products have a non-standard form. In them, the parts of one bowl differ in their configurations and dimensions. These models are popular not only because of the interesting design, but also ergonomics and functionality.

Bath is the main element of the room. Such a plumbing item must be properly positioned in a small area. Do not think that the jacuzzi will not be able to put in such an environment.

The product of the angular design does not alter the space, in an instant making it bulky. Such a model will only fit well into a modest room and will not interfere in it. Of course, the option of suitable dimensions must be selected based on the size of the bathroom. Therefore, before you go to the store, you need to measure the space in which you plan to install the corner bowl. Most often, baths of such modifications are installed in one of the free corners in the room.Sometimes, specially for them, small partitions are prepared, near which they are mounted.

It is possible to install the corner bath yourself.

If you are confident in your abilities and want to do this job with your own hands, then you should stick to a certain plan of action.

• Before installing the bowl, make sure that all the ceilings in the room are even and neat. No irregularities and differences on them should not be.
• Choose the right plumbing. Then proceed to facing the room. Such an action plan will allow you to avoid many problems and errors.

• The day before the installation of the corner bath, it must be placed indoors. It is necessary that the material from which it is made, adapted to room temperature.
• To install a bath qualitatively, you need to put it as tightly as possible to the walls in the room.Make sure the plumbing location is perfect. Only then can we proceed to the preparation of the base under the bowl.

• Most often, the basis for plumbing create from cement, blocks or ordinary bricks. It is recommended to use reliable and high-quality materials, especially if we are talking about an unstable steel model.
• Let the prepared base gain sufficient strength. It may take 102 days.
• Only then should proceed to the installation of the corner bath.
• When you connect plumbing to electricity, water and sewage, you will need to check all systems for leaks. If there are no leaks or leaks anywhere, then the installation can be considered correct.
• If there are ugly slots between the corner bath and the wall, then they must be filled with a special sealant. It should be based on a component such as silicone. From above these parts should be “closed” with a baseboard or a special tape.

The choice of a corner bath should be approached carefully and deliberately. Choose reliable and durable bath models. If you are looking for a cheap product and have at the same time a tiny bathroom, then you should take a look at the economical acrylic options. More reliable are steel specimens.Products made of cast iron are recognized to be the strongest and most durable, but they are expensive and weigh a lot - such a model will not work for rooms with weak floors, remember this.
