For more than one year, a round bath has been considered a symbol of elite relaxation. This is the ideal solution for anyone who loves to plunge into a state of nirvana after a busy day, relaxing in warm water with a high and thick foam. Connoisseurs of comfort will certainly appreciate round bathtubs, because their design features will satisfy the consumer requirements of even the most discerning customers. One has only to find out all the criteria for choosing this type of plumbing.

A round bath can hardly be called a simple container for daily hygiene procedures. In this case, hygiene can be combined with rest, which is not inferior in its sensations to a stay in expensive spa-salons. All you need is to listen to your wishes and choose aromatic salt or foam for bathing, light candles and relax.

Of course, this is not the only plus of the round bath.

This form has other advantages.

• Roominess. A round bathtub cannot be cramped. In such a container, it will be comfortable for very full people, a couple in love who want to retire, and children, because a unique bathtub can easily turn into a miniature pool.
• Aesthetics. A round bathtub is not only a functional sanitary fixture, it is also a very beautiful piece of furniture. The capacity will easily transform the restroom, make it truly luxurious.
• Good equipment and technical characteristics. The hot tub takes into account the anatomical structure of the human body, so staying in such a bath is as comfortable as possible. The bottom is distinguished by a relief anti-slip coating, thanks to which a massage effect can be obtained.

Despite the beauty and convenience, round-shaped fonts also have disadvantages.

• Difficulties in furnishing the interior. Finding a suitable place for a round bath in the room is quite difficult, the room must be very spacious. The ideal position for such a container is the center of the room, but for this you need to lay water and sewer pipes in advance, make a divorce, and if there are any, then you will have to redo everything for a new font.

• Large expenses for paying bills for water meters. Due to the capacity of the container, it will take several hundred liters of water to completely fill a round bath.

The circle is considered a versatile bathtub shape. Thanks to it, you can create a special atmosphere in the room, it suits different interior styles. Modern manufacturers offer models created from different materials. Let's consider the most common ones.

It has excellent performance characteristics: it keeps heat well, has a pleasant-to-touch surface, is undemanding to maintain, and is cheaper than models made of other materials.

The first material used for the production of hot tubs. But cast iron baths are very heavy, so their transportation and installation is not an easy task.

Steel baths belong to the budget category, and this, in addition to the lightness of the material, is their main advantage. Bathtubs made of steel are cheap, but they do not retain heat well and do not have sound insulation.

It is a traditional material for the production of round bathtubs. Fonts made of marble chips look amazing, but they are not cheap.In addition, natural stone requires particularly gentle care.

A cheap analogue of a real marble bath. It is made of synthetic material with the addition of stone or marble chips.

Baths made from these materials are considered a real exotic. They require constant maintenance, however, despite the difficulties in operation, they look amazing. Glass and wooden fonts are made exclusively to order, so they are very expensive.

Although this material is not used on an industrial scale, some craftsmen create concrete bathtubs with their own hands. Their cost is much less than the previous options, however, experience is needed to make a font from this raw material.

Round baths differ not only in the material of production.

Manufacturers offer consumers several options for font bowls:

• spherical shape;
• tapering downward;
• cylindrical.

The size of any bath is determined by parameters such as height, volume, diameter and depth of the bowl.

The diameter of the outer circumference of most models varies between 130 - 180 cm, but more often models with a diameter of 140, 150 and 160 cm are bought. In a container with a diameter of 180 cm, you can freely swim lying down or take water procedures for two people at the same time. There are bathtubs with a diameter of more than 180 cm, they belong to the category of mini-pools (as a rule, their diameter is 200 cm), such systems can only be installed in large areas.

Depth is the distance from the very top of the side to the lowest point of the bottom. At the moment, models with a depth of 40 - 70 cm are being sold, but other options can be made to order.

The height of the bath differs from the depth and is calculated as the distance from the floor to the upper edge of the container. In different baths, this parameter ranges from 45 to 85 cm.

The volume of round baths is 350-750 liters.

Round fonts can be mounted in a variety of places: in the center of the room, against the wall, in the corner. There are models built into the floor. Such products are considered very fashionable, they resemble small pools.

Built-in containers of a round configuration vary in size. The model range includes structures designed for installation in medium-sized rooms. Usually such systems are installed against a wall.

Round built-in bathtubs resemble corner structures, they differ only in more rounded sides. If the bathing tank will be built into the floor near the wall, then the shower and water tap must be fixed to the wall, and the plumbing system must be installed inside the wall.

If the footage and layout of the restroom allows, then the round bath can be placed on the floor or on the podium. In any of all these options, the design will become a real decoration of the interior.

An excellent duet for a round bath in a classic room will be furniture with curved lines, decorated with gilding. Nearby, you can put an overhead bathroom sink installed on a special cabinet. In a room with an unusual font, all the details should emphasize the status of the property owners.

If a high-tech style is chosen, then unnecessary accessories should not be present in the bathroom. This style prefers an ascetic setting. The space in this case is used to the maximum and is not cluttered with unnecessary details. Plumbing fixtures, lamps and fittings are becoming original decor. If you choose the right lighting and arrange it, then the room can visually increase.

Lighting in the design of any bathroom should be approached competently. It should be absent-minded. Only in this way will a round bathtub look advantageous.

If desired, the design of an unconventional shape can be successfully integrated into any interior style.

A round bathtub is selected depending on the area and personal preferences of the buyer. The small design is suitable for those who carry out hygiene procedures while sitting or reclining. Lovers of a long stay in a hot tub with warm water should pay attention to a medium-sized model (with a diameter of about 170 cm). This design can comfortably fit one person or several.

If a single person buys a bathroom, a small model will suit him, but it is not at all necessary to make the font low and off the floor. You can opt for legged designs.

Designers of modern plumbing have developed a large number of bathing containers for every taste and budget.

A podium is erected for the built-in models or a font is installed directly into the floor. The elevation in this design has both a decorative and a functional role - it hides water pipes and other communications from a person's view. Floor systems are installed on legs, which are usually sold as a set. These cuvettes look great in the middle of the room.

Experts have calculated that the optimal area of ​​the room where a round bathtub will be installed should not be less than 10 square meters. If the room is smaller, you should pay attention to corner or semicircular systems.

A round bath is best placed against a wall. This method is not the most successful from the point of view of aesthetics, as, for example, in the center of the room, but it is easier to execute, since all communications are easily hidden inside the wall.

A round-shaped hot tub will look more impressive with unusual faucet models. For example, a stand mixer that is mounted on the floor.
