The main one is in the presence of a ledge inside the bowl, which is designed for seating. Current manufacturers offer a wide species series of models, which allows you to choose the most interesting, organically inscribing in the design of the bathroom.

Among the main advantages that the sedentary bath will be installed as follows:

• compact sizes, which allows you to integrate it even in the room of a small area or rationally organize the entire space of the ordinary room;
• different configurations make it possible to enter a seitant bath even in a small niche in the room;
• significant simplification of water procedures for disabled people or people of old age by equipping special handrails or doors;
• comfortable bath adoption without tension and load on muscles for pregnant women;
• the ability to carry out therapeutic procedures - in a lying position, many of them are contraindicated.
  

  Important! There is one disadvantage that is formed by the specifics of the sedentary bath itself - this is the lack of opportunity to be in such a bathroom in the lying position. For some members of a large family, it is this factor, and not the price of seating baths can become decisive when choosing a bowl.

Functional features of sedent baths

Under the functional features of the sedentary bath, it is often implied with an additional equipment with which you can achieve maximum comfort during water procedures and expand standard features. These include:

• installing the hydromassage system;
• installation of the aero mass installation;
• equipping with special luminaires for unconventional treatment in the direction of light and phototherapy;
• installing a modern media player or receiver for listening to music during water procedures.
  

  Important! Depending on the number of additional details you have chosen, respectively, it will increase or decrease the cost of all the work on the design of the bathroom.

Shapes seating bath

All baths of this category can be detached or built-in - the choice is yours, depending on the style of the room and the type of furniture for the room.

The form distinguishes 3 main groups of bowls:

Sitting Bath - Dimensions

Depending on the shape, the dimensions of the bowl will change. The dimensional line is not so wide, but still allows you to make the optimal choice for any room:

• rectangular bowls have standardized parameters in 150 * 70, 120 * 70, 100 * 70 cm;
• the angular seating bath is performed with sizes 120 * 110 cm.

Sitting Bath - Materials

As well as ordinary baths, seats are made of 3 types of material:

1. Sitting bath iron. The most familiar to consumers is a form of chashes. Such models are characterized by an excellent property for a very long time to retain heat. In addition, they are durable and durable - the minimum service life is indicated by manufacturers of at least 30 years.
   

   Important! The disadvantages of such products include their heavyweight, which brings some difficulty in the installation process, as well as the limited variants of models. From cast iron, you can rarely meet the angular or unusual configuration of the bowl - predominantly these are standard rectangular modifications. Here, we note that the price of such baths is higher than on products from any other material. Cast iron is not only a durable, but also quite fragile material, so the installation of additional equipment can also be difficult in the absence of special professional skills.
   

2. Sitting bath steel. Such plumbing items have light weight, differ in the available price boundary at high strength indicators.
   

   Important! There are many disadvantages of such products - it is a short heat conservation and a large noise level when filling with water. If the surface is damaged, it is unlikely to stop the corrosion process and will soon be replaced by the bowl. To increase the characteristics of noise insulation and heat power, it will take additional use of the mounting foam during the installation process throughout the area, and these are additional costs.

3. Sitting acrylic bath. This kind of today is the most popular. Beautiful heat grumbling characteristics in combination with light weight, wide design capabilities due to material plasticity, ease of processing when installing an additional configuration, simplicity of installation and repair - all this determines their demand.
   

   Important! Additionally, it is worth noting a wide color palette of solutions when creating acrylic baths, which makes it possible to maximize the desired koler under the specific design of the bathroom.

6. Check the quality of the outer walls - there should be no recesses in them, the surface can be slightly rough with an anti-corrosion coating.
7. Note, whether the location of the holes is suitable for the supply of engineering communications distance between your systems.

room preparation

On the quality of the room itself the speed and ease of the subsequent installation of a sit-bath depends largely. Therefore, be sure to do the following:
