Features of a shower cabin with a size of 100x80 cm

Knowledge of the features of a 100x80 cm shower stall is very important. This is an excellent size, but mistakes in choosing the correct version can ruin the repair. Let's try to understand the basic characteristics and key requirements before it comes time to buy.

Shower cabins with dimensions 100x80, as well as 70x90 and 80x80, belong to the small size class. Such designs are perfect for:

• bathroom in an old panel house;
• a small private house;
• country buildings;
• small saunas in the suburban area.

Most shower cabins of this size are manufactured in Russia and China. There is no need to count on any impressive functionality. However, with some additional payment, you can always choose a suitable design. Including a shower room with a basic set of suitable components. It is equally important to distinguish between deep and low pallet models.

Large pallet height - at least 0.4 m. This is a great choice for lovers of foot baths or bathing children. But the elderly and people with disabilities will face problems. You cannot find high pallets in hotels, even hostels or saunas. This is a surefire way to scare customers away with artificial inconveniences.

Low pallets are better suited for standard apartments and private houses... You will not have to build up the floor or gouge any grooves in it. Almost anyone can use the cab with a low pallet. It will be possible to steam on weekends and wash at the beginning or end of the working day. There are even models that do not require special pedestals, since the installation of drains and sewerage systems is possible without them.

Please note the difference between left and right shower enclosures. This difference is due to the angle in which the structure is placed. When positioned to the left, the longest edge of the "face" is clearly visible from the entrance to the room, then this is the "left" booth (and vice versa). Sometimes it is difficult to assess this. It is even more difficult to mount the cab on site, connect it to the sewer and water supply pipes, so you often have to call professionals.

It is easier to choose and install a symmetrical shower room that does not create difficulties during installation. It is necessary to pay attention to the functional characteristics of the cab. Additional functionality of advanced devices may include:

• aromatherapy;
• color therapy blocks;
• steam bath options;
• infrared bath options;
• sound therapy;
• jacuzzi mode.

An important role is played by water saving mode. Well-designed designs spend much less of it than average-level showers. Importantly, this is achieved not by reducing the functionality, but by introducing more "subtle" and user-friendly modes. It all depends not only on the price category, but also on the specific manufacturer. If you have sufficient funds, you should always choose models of Japanese or Western European origin.

In these regions of the world:

• the greatest production experience;
• there is a long-standing and well-coordinated plumbing industry;
• a decent set of shower cabins is supported;
• manufacturers willingly give long warranties (and, importantly, respect them).

But both Russian and Chinese products have become significantly better in recent years. She "pulled up" both in terms of quality and design.

The next point that must be taken into account when choosing cabins 100x80 cm is their installation method. The open type includes models without a roof. The walls are either purely symbolic, or instead of them, the main walls of the bathroom are used. Closed type - most often booths with an opaque design. Such designs are autonomous and usually differ in increased functionality compared to open modifications.

So, there is no way to put a cascade or tropical shower in an open cockpit. There is no room for them. However, if you just need to wash yourself as soon as possible, this is a good solution. Plus, an open booth is comparatively cheap. When it is used, the humidity in the room will rise.

It is also worth seeing what the doors and walls of shower stalls are made of. Polystyrene is relatively resistant to strong moisture and is fairly lightweight. However, its advantages are overshadowed by an insufficiently long service life. Basically, polystyrene structures are used in summer cottages and in private hotels. In addition, cleaning plastic surfaces is not easy.
