When the repair in the bathroom is almost complete, it remains to install only a screen under the bath. If you have not thought about what it should be in advance, then serious disputes may arise in your family about this. The fact is that today construction supermarkets can offer their customers such a huge assortment of these products that it is extremely difficult to make the right choice.
The screen under the bathroom is designed to decorate the room. With it, you can hide far from always the beautiful bottom of the bath. The most popular and sought after is a sliding screen. It performs three main tasks:
- creates a beautiful barrier against the penetration of domestic animals, which can take a fancy to a nook there;
- complement the interior of the room, making it more modern;
- closes communications.
Today, many believe that the screen under the bathroom is a must. It is quite accessible to every element of the modern bathroom interior. It is important that you can always choose for yourself exactly the model (design and color) that is needed specifically for your bathroom.
If there is a man in your house, then you can make a screen for the bath yourself. It is very easy to install it - the product is securely attached under the very rim of the bathtub and on the floor.
The screen under the bath has special guides between which PVC panels or other material are installed. Panels move along the guides (principle of a sliding wardrobe).
Today, in construction stores they will tell you that the most popular one is a plastic screen for a bathtub. And what else are they? Quite often, drywall, tongue- and- groove plates, tile and ready-made elements from which the screen is made are used.
It is very convenient to assemble the finished product. It consists of several moving parts, each of which is a door. Therefore, you can use the space that is closed by the screen to store some little things.
The “dull” screen under the bath is a solid panel or shield mounted on the frame.
It has struts and legs adjustable in height. Such a canvas can be completely deaf or a lattice. Such a model is the simplest and it does not cost very much. This kind of screen can only decorate the bathroom, but you cannot use the space hidden behind it.
In this sense, a screen with hinged or sliding doors is much more functional. In addition, you can buy a model equipped with hatches with magnets. The accordion door is no less original. The screen can be firmly adjacent to the floor, or have small legs at the edges.
Bath lining is a labor-intensive process, but it opens up enormous opportunities for the implementation of the most original solutions. Often manufacturers of bathtubs for their models offer a one-piece frame made of a dense foam base for facing. As a covering mosaic, tile, laminated chipboard, wood or plastic panels are used.
