Today, people are increasingly preferred not to the bathroom, but shower cabins. It is also clear - this is saving space, and saving water, and time saving, which is very important for a modern person. Moreover, modern shower cabins can give their owner much more pleasant moments than in the bath. A clear case, it will not be possible to lie in the foam, but instead you can pamper yourself with hydromassage or steam room.

If the habit of not falling in the bath is pretty strong, and the area of \u200b\u200bthe room allows, then you can choose such an interesting option as a bathroom with a shower. But before you buy a shower cabin, you need to explore all the options that the modern market offers. Today, the shower cabins have a huge amount and all of them differ not only by price and dimensions, but also types, specifics and functionality.

Choosing a type of shower

All shower cabins are divided into two types: open and closed.

1. Open shower cabins. Another name is a shower corner, since they are most often installed in the corner of the room. An open shower consists of several components: pallet and doors. There are no roofs, however, like side walls - their tiled walls of the bathroom are replaced. This cabin is the most simple design, so it does not have any functions except the shower. However, the pluses of this type of cabins a lot:

• First, a huge selection of design, thanks to which you can choose an angular, square or rectangular shape.
• Secondly, the cabin doors can choose any size - even if you need a high shower cabin, above 1.95 cm, you can find it.
• Thirdly, due to the fact that today the pallets and doors are sold separately, you can independently assemble yourself the most original cabin - at least protect the door in a stationary niche, and the stack is made in the floor. It is worth noting that the last option is not so hopeless, especially for those families in which there are weakened, elderly or sick family members who cannot use a bathroom or a high pallet cabin.

As minuses: the lack of "bellsopped".

2. Based shower cabins. Another name is shower box. This is a kind of small "houses" - one-piece soundproofed monoblocks that are closed from all sides. They can offer a lot of functions. There is a hydromassage, and a sauna, and a music center, and a telephone. Basically, such shower boxes have a rather complicated electric fill. There are a wide variety of forms of closed cabins, angular, rectangular, oval, therefore can be placed both in the corner and between two parallel-standing walls.

Often the boxes have roofs, and floating screens, curtains or ordinary doors are used as doors.

The advantages can be attributed to the super binding shower - aromotherapy, hydromassage, infrared sauna, steam room, music, TV, telephone.

Minus only one: the more opportunities at the shower box, the higher the price. Moreover, shower boxes themselves are more expensive than shower cabins. The prices of them depend on how many different "beams" have boxing.

Choose pallet

The pallet plays a significant role for the shower cabin, because the appearance of the booth depends on this choice - its size and form.

First, the pallets differ in size: low, medium and high. There are no "best" and "worst" in this category, here you should choose, only relying on your taste.

Secondly, the pallets differ in the material from which they are made. Today, metal, cast iron, acrylic, marble and faience are used as a material. The most popular pallets are acrylic, as there are a number of advantages: quickly heat, have a solid surface, it is easy to clean, do not darken, do not absorb dirt.

Minus one - begged under the weight of a person (which is not very comfortable, if a person has a lot of weight), but this problem is easily eliminated - it is necessary to strengthen the pallet with the help of an aluminum frame. Cast iron pallets are currently practically no. Metal - very durable and bend under the weight of a person, but they are very "loud" under the jets of water, absorb dirt and rust.

Faians's pallets are massive, but very fragile - they can easily damage them, for example, scratch or repel a piece.

The main requirements for the pallet are as follows:

• it must withstand the weight of the human body (even big),
• disagree
• be sustainable
• do not slip.

Choose walls, curtains, doors

The walls of the shower booth, like the doors, most often made of tempered glass, plexiglas or plastic. Most benefits have tempered glass - it looks stylish and rich, as it has a high quality, diverse color and design, it is durable in use and it is easy to care for it.

Minus shutters from tempered glass - their cost.

Curtains from plexiglas and plastic are cheaper, but they are quickly wear out - over time, it is difficult to launder soap divorces with them, so you have to change.

The doors of the cabin can be disintegrating - one or two sash, or sliding - sliding doors are moving using the rollers and have two, three, four or six sash.

Remember that the space must be space before the cabin so that the door can be opened. In addition, with an open door, water will be drained into the room, so it is better to choose the doors that open inside the cabin. Therefore, the leader is still sliding doors.

Since it is not all lucky to choose a shower cabin - not everyone has the opportunity to get rid of the bath, you can use shower curtains. In this case, instead of the pallet, the bathroom serves on the sides of the sliding curtains.

Shower Cabin

1. Before you go to the plumbing shop, you need to clarify what water pressure in the house. This is especially important if you are going to choose a shower box with such functions like a steam room or hydromassage. Basically, showers, the photos of which are located below, are designed for pressure in two or three bars. In the event that you have a small pressure, choose from those who support the pressure in one and a half bar.

2. When choosing a booth, consider the plum angle. If the model you like is not suitable for this criterion, negotiate with experts, is it possible to put the booth into your bathroom, adjusting its location by repair work to ensure drainage and wiring (if necessary).

3. When choosing a sash for the booth, pay attention to the anti-flag coating. Such curtains will push soap water and you do not have to wash the booth so often from the inside. In addition, the anti-flag coating eliminates high humidity inside the cabin.

4. Do not hesitate to check the booth on the strength right in the store. Enter the inside, get on the pallet, make a foot on the leg. A good pallet should not creak, squeak, vibrate or somehow deformed.

5. Raise one or two hands, standing in the shower cabin, lift the one in turn, then another foot, sneezing, burn, unfold. Shower cabin, the dimensions of which deliver some inconvenience, then "does not stretch", it should be considered if you are discomfort.

6. Examine the pallet from the inside, especially, its fastening to the frame - it is desirable that it was a frame of a steel profile.

7. Try to shake the cabin, keeping behind the flaps - a good cabin will not stick.

8. Examine the shut-off-regulating reinforcement - it should go smoothly, but enough tight, well fixed in any position.

9. If you want to choose a cabin with a seat, be sure to test it. The seat must be convenient - not low and not high.
