Semicircular shower enclosures: types, sizes and secrets of choice

Nowadays, few people have time to lie and relax in the bathroom, besides, for modern bathrooms, the presence of a bathroom is an inexpedient interior solution, so many buyers prefer shower cabins. A shower corner will fit especially well into a small room. Let's consider in more detail one of its shapes (semicircular) and possible types and sizes, and also reveal the secrets of the right choice.

Square and rectangular booths are considered correct, and the semicircular corner is the irregular shape of the box, however, it is this that is the most rational solution when arranging a bathroom with limited space... As a rule, such a design has a semicircular pallet, and 90x90 cm is considered the most suitable size for a standard bathroom.

You can classify semicircular corners according to the type of pallets.

• A high pallet is a very convenient element. With a high bottom, the stall can be used not only as a shower device, but also for washing clothes or bathing children.

• Low pallets provide for the presence of low sides, located almost on the same level with the floor. This option is recommended for older people or people with disabilities. Externally, the structure looks very stylish, modern, visually expands the space of the room.

• Shower box without tray... In this case, the walls of the unit are located on the floor, in which the water drain is already organized. Choosing such a model, the buyer can order a booth according to his own design. In addition, this option is lightweight, which facilitates transportation and installation.

Semicircular corners are also distinguished by the type of doors. It is usually customary to use swing and sliding structures, but some creative people prefer to see folding, pendulum, radius, sliding doors in their bathroom.

Most often, shower enclosures are made of glass. The production uses frosted, transparent, tinted glass or materials with glass decor elements. Often, buyers choose glass structures decorated with geometric shapes, flowers, or mosaics. In production, glass is treated with a product that protects the surface from streaks and limescale.

Also, sanitary boxes can be made of polystyrene. These models can be matte, transparent or patterned. The main advantage of such partitions is the price, which is lower than the cost of glass corners. Some companies offer acrylic designs, but this is not the best option. Such models are inferior to glass in terms of environmental friendliness, they are not so durable and strong.

The door width of a semicircular device is 70-90 cm, so it is placed in a small bathroom. If the most compact version with compartment doors is used, then its size is 70x70 cm. It is this design that is recommended for a room where every centimeter of space is valued. Also for small bathrooms, the following corner parameters are common:

• 80x90;
• 80x80;
• 90x80;
• 90x90;
• 100x100;
• 120 to 90;
• 110x110.

When choosing a semicircular corner, listen to the following recommendations.

• If the booth will be located next to other objects, for example, a sink or a washing machine, then give preference to models with sliding doors, as the swing mechanism will touch a neighboring object and cause inconvenience.
• Don't be afraid to use palletless models. They are technically simple, comfortable, compact, budgetary, suitable for the popular minimalism style.
• When choosing fittings, pay attention to the manufacturer. Manufacturers from Europe offer high quality. Their assortment includes both universal fittings and products specially designed for rare semicircular corners. When purchasing European items, the high price will be justified.
