Owners of small bathrooms often face the problem of convenient plumbing placement. After all, the small dimensions of the room do not allow to implement all the design ideas. An excellent solution to the problem of limited space is showers . However, before you buy such plumbing, you need to study its types and familiarize yourself with the basic rules for choosing.
Main varieties
Showers can be open and closed. Open models are limited only by side walls. The ceiling is not provided in this design. Such models are considered the most budgetary choice. They take up minimal space in the room and have a standard set of functions.
Closed shower boxes are usually purchased for installation in spacious bathrooms. They have a ceiling and walls on all sides. These are larger and more modern designs. Such models most often have various additional functions, in particular, hydromassage.
Shower cabins can also differ in their dimensions and shape, as well as in the capacity of the pallet. The smallest booths have dimensions of 70x70 cm. More spacious options can have dimensions of 100x100 cm. The booths can also differ in the material of manufacture.
Pallet selection
One of the most important elements of a shower cabin is a tray. The comfort of using the cabin and the area that it will occupy will depend on this element. Pallets can be:
- flat. Their height does not exceed 3 cm;
- small. The height of such models is within 10-18 cm;
- deep. Deep pallets are up to 45 cm high.
One of the most popular options for making a pallet is acrylic. Such pallets retain heat well, have a long service life and presentable appearance. In addition, they are distinguished by a wide variety of shapes and shades.
You need to buy shower trays, like other plumbing fixtures, only in specialized stores with a decent reputation. The simplest choice would be to order booths on the Internet. This is an opportunity to study in detail the features and characteristics of various models and consult with experts.
