Any Finnish-made model can become a key element of the interior. Customers can choose from a strict form of cabins for modern interiors and models with smooth classic curves.

disadvantages
Shower boxes have appeared in the catalogs of plumbing stores for a long time. During this time, in addition to the positive qualities, the negative sides of the product were also identified.
- The main disadvantage is comfort in use. You can sit or stand in the cockpit. Relaxing lying or reclining, as in the bathroom, will not work.
- The second disadvantage is the price. The cost of large-sized models and multifunctional booths can reach up to 200 thousand rubles. The price of standard models of boxes is higher than the cost of conventional baths.
It should be noted that the disadvantages listed above are common to all shower cabins of any production.
