If you decide to change your old bath, then you can not do without a decorative screen, behind which its legs, drain and various fixtures will hide securely. The screen under the sliding bathtub should be not only aesthetically attractive, but also functional. Most owners of apartments and houses strive for this ideal.
Today it’s not at all difficult to choose the right screen model for a standard rectangular bathtub. If desired, it can be made with your own hands from fiberboard, MDF, particleboard, plastic. It is much more difficult to choose a screen under the sliding bathtub for the now fashionable acrylic model. Such bathtubs, as a rule, have bizarre shapes and asymmetric bends.
Manufacturers of furniture and bathroom accessories strive to create easy-to-assemble and inexpensive screens. The choice of colors offered in stores is amazing. Fashionable prints will make your screen under the bathtub original. A sliding way to open the structure will save a lot of space. This is especially important if the bathroom is too small. And since in our country most of the bathrooms are such, the most popular (according to analysts) was the screen for a sliding bath, 150 centimeters long. Usually these are the simplest models that are designed only for decorating the facade. They are ideal for standard rectangular, inexpensive bath models made of steel, acrylic or cast iron.
Screens are manufactured in the form of the letter "P" or "G". With their help, you can also decorate the ends of the bath.
Quite often, craftsmen prefer to make their own screen under the bath. MDF (a sliding version of the screen made of this material looks great), fiberboard, particleboard should be treated with a reliable water-repellent composition. Otherwise, very soon your design will become worthless.
The screen under the sliding bathtub may have additional compartments, which provides even more convenient use. It can be shelves, drawers or drawers. In addition, a sliding screen provides easy access to communications, so there are no problems during repair work.
One of the pressing problems of many bathrooms is too small. What do experienced designers usually do in such cases? They use mirrors in the decoration of the room, which visually expand the space. Despite the wonderful transformations, they can not be used in bathrooms in abundance. For example, if your bathroom has a mirror ceiling, then a screen of this material will already be superfluous.
Such screens can be purchased at a store or ordered from a specialized company. For their manufacture, aluminum profiles and mirrors are used. Panels are moved using rollers. During installation, make sure that they move gently and smoothly, in order to avoid damage to the glass surface. The most popular is the sliding design, which allows you to turn the space under the bathroom into a small warehouse. The screen from a mirror polished to a shine, no doubt, the thing is very beautiful, but, unfortunately, not very practical. It looks spectacular only when impeccably clean. Drops of water or stains make the bathroom untidy.
