What are the sizes of corner showers?

When decorating an apartment, it is important to pay attention to each room, and the bathroom is far from the last in this row. It is extremely important to be able to comfortably take a shower and do all the necessary procedures for a modern person, therefore it is necessary to choose the right booth for this room.

The bathroom is not only a place for taking water procedures and washing things, but also a room where you can be alone for some time, relax and unwind. A room with a bathroom of any size installed in it is best suited for this, but this is not possible in all apartments. Dimensions may be too small to fit a bathroom, a washing machine, and cabinets for all sorts of little things in one space. That is why they are increasingly resorting to installing corner shower cabins.

This type of device allows you to save space as much as possible without reducing the comfortable shower space. Thanks to the different design options and sizes, you can easily choose exactly what you need for a particular room. Taking into account the peculiarities of the 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 renovation is being done for people of age or with disabilities.

When choosing a shower stall, you need to pay attention to different details. These 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 programs, both for bathing and for relaxing procedures.

The main advantages of shower cabins are:

• economy and the possibility of placement even in very small rooms;
• low water consumption compared to taking a bath;
• 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 cohabitation of a large number of people);
• the ability to choose the size, color, texture and material from which the booth will be made;
• the opportunity to create a unique style of the bathroom.

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

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

The shower cabin is a relatively new type of design that has modern systems for a comfortable and useful shower. In addition, there is an opportunity to make it enjoyable by installing music or an aroma lamp in the booth.

The booth itself is quite simple in the device, among its constituent parts can be distinguished:

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

If we talk about sizes, then there are standard options that are used most often. But you can find much more unusual shapes and dimensions, which depends primarily on the size of the room in which such a shower will be installed. The standard includes such sizes as: 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, semicircular. Among the original forms, one can distinguish a pentagonal type and a square with one rounded side.

A cabin with pallet dimensions 90x90 will be slightly larger than the standard norm, which will allow you to get more pleasant sensations from water procedures. But it is extremely important to measure out the space of the shower room so that a new object can fit into it. A 100x100 cubicle will be even more comfortable for taking a shower, and with a high pallet, you can also settle 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 room for other necessary things.

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

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

Not all apartments and houses have at their disposal such voluminous areas for the installation of 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 should be chosen if people with a normal complexion take a shower, who do not like to spend a lot of time in the shower stall. Therefore, a large space for them will not become a necessity.

Thus, the standard sizes of bathroom stalls are the most common and in demand, but there are also deviations from such options. Everyone chooses a place for swimming, based on personal motives, the availability of free space and the functions that the booth will carry. Shape is also important when sizing. Semicircular options are often performed with walls equal in length. For rectangular options, the norm is an elongated side near the bathroom wall and a shorter side, going deeper into the room, for example, 80x100 or 120x80.

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

Some nuances will be important indicators.

• The correct choice of booth dimensions. The room should have a place for a washing machine, storage of various things, or at least for the repair and maintenance of the shower itself.With other plumbing fixtures nearby, it is important not to leave too little space between it and the shower.

• You should not neglect the quality of the product, although the price 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 booths, the plumbing itself, the material of the body, pallet and other elements are several times better.
• The choice of additional functions in the booth should be thought out in advance. If there is no way to use something other than a simple shower, then you should not spend money on it. In the case when residents of a house or apartment like to visit a bathhouse or sauna, you can make yourself exactly the same effect by choosing the right additional functions.
• When choosing a booth, you should pay attention to the manufacturers and the conditions they offer. It is very profitable to buy a product that will be assembled and tested for free, or you can independently look for those who will supply the equipment and check it. As a promotion, there is an opportunity to get free home delivery.

• If the shower enclosure will be created on its own, it is important to take into account many nuances. If you already have considerable experience in such work, then everything will be done without problems, and a beginner needs qualified help, advice on all issues and support at every stage of work.
• If possible, before installing the cabin, it is advisable to make a small repair in the bathroom, removing the old flooring, and complete the floor with a layer of waterproofing. This will save neighbors from the risk of being flooded and you from unplanned financial expenses.

In order to be able to choose the right shower stall for 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 higher than two meters, usually 2.5 meters.
• The minimum width of the bathroom should be 80 cm, any maximum is chosen.
• The bathroom should be at least 120 cm long to accommodate at least a small shower area. The maximum can be anything.

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

The sink with the bathtub can be placed closeso that it is convenient to perform hygiene procedures, even 5 cm will be a sufficient distance between objects. If there is a need to install two washbasins in the bathroom, then there should be at least 30 cm distance between them so that two inhabitants of the apartment can comfortably wash at once.

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