When installing a bath , the question of how to make sure that moisture does not get into the joint between the bath and the wall becomes relevant. To solve this problem, there is a functional solution - a bath border. It provides reliable protection against leaks, is easy to install, and also has a fairly attractive appearance. The modern market of materials for construction and repair offers a wide selection of bath borders. Based on your own preferences, you can choose a bath border that will best meet all your requirements. The types of borders, their capabilities, advantages, disadvantages and the issue of cost will be discussed below.
Plastic has long been firmly entrenched in our lives. This is due to the fact that it (with a careful attitude to itself) serves faithfully for a long amount of time, is light and affordable material. Not so long ago they began to use it for the manufacture of bath borders. The advantage of using such a border in your bath is obvious: for a reasonable price you get a material that will provide reliable waterproofing for the gap between the bathroom and the wall. To fix a
plastic border for a bath is not a big deal. To do this, you need to use silicone or
"liquid nails." Consider the fact that "sloppy work" can cause further leaks, so take the installation process responsibly (do not save on sealant).
Another novelty is the curbs in the form of a self-adhesive tape. Their main advantage is ease of installation. Such borders are made for
bathtubs made of polyethylene. Adhesive base provides reliable adhesion to the surface of the wall and bath. Enhances the usability of the ability to choose the width that suits your parameters. All these characteristics suggest that such borders are quite reliable.
A classic option to hide the gap between the bathroom and the wall is a ceramic bath border . It is particularly strong and durable. In addition, ceramic borders, due to their high decorative qualities, favorably emphasize the style of the bathroom. A ceramic product can last several decades. It will not lose its original form and will not
deforms with time. The only minus can be attributed only to a more complex styling technology. To ensure a better final result, you should entrust the installation of a ceramic border to a specialist. It is worth considering that ceramic borders are somewhat more expensive than the two previous materials.
After reading this article, we can conclude that the curb for the bath performs extremely important functions. It has practical and aesthetic value. The first is reliable protection against leaks. And the second is to give the room a complete and harmonious look. Properly selected and correctly installed border is a guarantee of your comfort.
