When choosing a shower stall, I already knew what I wanted. Therefore, the search was not difficult, the condition - with a high pallet. Not looking for bells and whistles in the form of radio and other things, a prerequisite - transparent blue glass doors. I saw at the exhibition and fell in love! Has found, a cabin rounded off, 90 x 90, with a high pallet and blue glass. There is a small seat, very comfortable. Hydro massage and overhead shower allow you to enjoy a different effect from water treatments. Not to say that cabin care is complicated. I have had it for many years. The installation was done by specialists, a few years later, when the sealant from the back side was slightly deformed, it was cleaned by its own forces - it missed, moving away from the corner. The legs are tall, adjustable, there were no problems. Excellent effect and savings on prevention. And yes, saving water is palpable. Now there is a lot of special care products, it is easy to clean acrylic surfaces, and for glass, water is still formed, using yellow Cif. The usual silicone scraper perfectly removes drops. After the shower I keep the cabin doors open, good ventilation is obligatory!
I recently acquired an apartment in a new building, but it will only be rented out in a year, then I have been thinking for almost a year that it is better to install a regular bathroom or, nevertheless, it is better to install a shower cabin. the wife wants only a bath as she likes to lie in it, and it’s not possible to get out of the bathroom for days, but I still want a shower stall more. It seems to me that a shower cabin is more practical for modern life, although this is what is easier to install — a bathtub or a shower cabin — also a question. Then, too, there are many types of showers, judging by this article, and also still need to correctly guess the size. But in general, as far as I know and how much I communicated with people, as a rule, it is men who want a shower cabin more, and girls still look more towards the bathroom. But I still try to persuade my wife to the shower))
When my husband and I purchased our apartment and started renovating the bathroom, we were faced with a problem: a shower and a washing machine in the same room or a full-fledged bathroom, but then the washing should be done somewhere, because the room size is only 2.6 square meters. After consulting with the professionals, we stopped at the bathroom, which, as for me, not a single shower can replace after a hard day’s work or a long trip in which you can lie down for several hours. The washing machine had to be put in the hallway in the dressing room. Of course, if you have not one, but two bathrooms, then you can definitely talk about the soul in one of them and this article is a real find, but if the bathroom is only one, even the smallest, sacrifice an extra bedside table and set yourself a bathroom.
I was always more impressed by a full shower than a bath. If it was not possible to install a shower cabin in the old apartment, due to the banal lack of space for installation, there was plenty of it in the new apartment. Now I think what kind of shower to put. I want something functional, but not to overpay much. One thing I know for sure, that there must be a hydromassage. The main thing is that in the article I was able to read about the main nuances that should be taken into account when choosing a shower cabin. Thanks to this, I was able to significantly narrow the circle and it became easier to choose, as for my apartment, now I consider only two options. In any case, first of all I will be guided by the budget, and there I will try to buy what is better. One is pleased that the installation of the shower is quite simple and will not have to suffer much to install it. At least it doesn't look as hard as it seemed to me before.
Article liked. At first, having read the point about the advice, I was upset because there was talked only about the size of the shower. But then it turned out that further points, in fact, also tips on choosing. Information is useful. Even by country layout provided. Thanks to the author.
I learned about the function of aromatherapy. It would be very nice shower with such a function. Of course, now there are many different options for additional functions in the shower, but not all of them are needed. For example, why TV in the shower? I understand the bathroom! The standard set - the radio, different types of soul - I have nothing against - they are needed.
And the author is absolutely right - the main thing is to pay attention to the pallet. Steady and necessarily high. I would say this is one of the main points when choosing a shower.
I want to note that in the presence of small children in the family, it is better, of course, to have a full bathroom. It is possible to bathe babies and in the bath, but this is not long and uncomfortable. And much less like the little ones than cut through a large bath. A shower is more a hygienic accessory than a shower. And kids, and moms love to lie in the bathroom.
Of course you should pay your attention to the pallet - this is first of all comfort and the higher this very pallet, the better.The article is written elegantly, immediately visible - the author has spent a lot of time and effort on it, awesome photos, as if from the future, it’s a pity that I don’t afford such showers, but of course you can dream. Clearly disclosed all the recommendations for the selection, the pros and cons, it’s a pity that the approximate prices are not indicated, it would be interesting to know them. The video presentation is the most extensive, you can learn how to install these showers yourself. There is nothing difficult about it, since you’re in to plumbing. I liked everything, I will wait for new articles on a similar topic.
