The rhythm of life often makes us change our habits. Nowadays, life does not flow as calmly and measuredly as before. Many things have to be done on the run: eating, chatting with friends, and even raising children. Science has long made sure that each of us can wash while lying in bed or talk with a loved one, seeing our own face on the monitor screen. What about hygiene? The equipment here was up to par. The lack of time does not allow for a long time to lie in the bathroom or often visit bath complexes for taking water procedures. To exit this difficult situation, a shower cubicle was invented. What is it and why is it needed?
Main types and advantages
In short, the shower cabin is part of a limited space that serves for the adoption of water procedures. To understand its structure, you need to hear a competent review. Showers are open and closed. The first contains only a pallet, doors and side walls. In contrast to them, in the second there is also a roof. The design is quite simple, but it has, without a doubt, a number of advantages compared to the usual bathroom:
- Space saving. Indeed, in terms of overall dimensions, instead of one standard bathroom , two cabins can be installed. This allows you to make the room more spacious or save space for a hanger, bookcase, washing machine or dressing table.
- Security level. The material from which showers are made allows you to minimize the possibility of injury.
- Functionality. In addition to the shower, the cabins enable its owner to take about ten additional procedures at home.
- Saving. There is no need to visit the baths and other health centers. All these procedures can be carried out without any difficulty at home at least every day. Any owner of such a supersystem will give her the most positive feedback. Shower cabins allow you to have fun at no additional cost.
Materials and design features
The walls and doors of the cabins are made mainly of acrylic (or styrene) and tempered glass. To understand the difference, you need to hear professional feedback on this. Acrylic showers are inexpensive, but require more care. The glass version leads to more expensive construction, but has two significant advantages. Firstly, such a cabin is more durable. Secondly, care for it is minimal. An equally important part of the booth is the pallet. There may be a wider choice of material: steel, cast iron, acrylic, earthenware, marble or kvar. When choosing a pallet, it is necessary to take into account the following characteristics: heat capacity, strength, price, and, of course, appearance. Those who use such equipment daily can give their qualified feedback. Showers, according to many of them, are best purchased with trays made of acrylic, quartz or marble.
Models for any wallet
By purchasing such a device, first of all, the buyer looks at its functionality and appearance. This is the main thing that excites everyone, without exception. Only after this, the buyer begins to look closely at the price and compare it with their capabilities. Sometimes these two indicators do not match. In this case, you have to sacrifice something. A significant influence on the price can have a brand and a country of origin. Showers are domestic and foreign. Our products are noticeably inferior in price and belong to the economy class products. But this in no way indicates a low quality product. Among foreign products of European and Chinese manufacturers. The first, of course, is better, but also more expensive. Among them, the leading products from Germany, Italy and Finland. Sellers usually advise those showers whose prices are higher, citing the best quality. This is partly correct. On average, prices range from 10,000 to 200,000 rubles, depending on the functionality of the device.
Successful combination
For small bathrooms, such an option as an 80/80 shower cabin is perfect. Its overall dimensions are considered minimal in the line of products of this type. This factor, of course, affects the price. But do not think that the smallest cabin should be the simplest and cheapest. This option is a great combination of design, functionality and price. There are models in which not only ventilation and hydromassage are provided. Some of them are equipped with a device that even allows you to create the effect of tropical rain, a jacuzzi or a Turkish bath. Depending on this, the price of them ranges from 10,000 to 30,000 rubles. But there are more expensive specimens.
