How to choose a Timo shower enclosure?

How satisfied are you with the bathroom furnishings? This is something to think about, since her comfort largely determines your morning mood. Unfortunately, the dimensions of the bathrooms, even in new buildings, leave much to be desired. The most radical and rational option is to choose the installation of a compact shower enclosure instead of a bulky bathtub. The most popular models of this Finnish Timo sanitary ware measure 90x90 cm.

Of course, these are dimensions. Installing a neat shower enclosure allows you to free up space that you can leave free, or you can use to accommodate shelving, other bathroom furniture, or, for example, a washing machine. The use of this plumbing allows you to reduce water consumption as well as drainage costs.

Usually, Timo pallets height -15 cm, which is comfortable for entry and exit... This parameter is especially relevant for older family members. Taking a shower in a specially equipped room is much more convenient and hygienic than standing in a bath. No puddles on the floor. The closest competitor of such a corner is a shower cabin. Of course, it can be much more functional: different operating modes, backlight, radio. but and the price of a good quality shower cabin is much higher.

Showers are both closed and open. The open type assumes the presence of a certain "floor" in the structure, there must be walls and doors. There is also a roof in the closed design. Most of the shower enclosures are open, i.e. without a roof.

The most popular are models designed for a quarter-circle pallet. The smoothness of the frontal line allows, for example, Timo TL-1101 fit into almost any interior. This shape is the most ergonomic.

Pentagonal models such as Timo BY-839, give the bathroom interior a lot of severity. The square-shaped design looks the most extraordinary and stylish. If this is your choice - pay attention to Timo TL – 9002.

The minimum ratio of the length and width of the shower enclosure is 80x80 cm.These parameters are possessed, for example, by Timo TL-8001... However, choosing the most compact option is not always successful. You shouldn't be cramped.

The simplest test for freedom of movement: stand in the center of the corner, rest your arms bent at the elbows on your sides and twirl. If the walls do not restrict movement, then the dimensions of the corner suit you, but if you feel discomfort - a shower enclosure with a 90x90 tray (Timo TL-9002) or 100x100 cm is more suitable for you.

Another important factor when choosing is the arrangement of the drain. This is usually a pallet. Timo pallets are made of high quality glass fiber reinforced acrylic.

The Finnish manufacturer offers both corners equipped with a pallet and shower enclosures - walls and doors without a pallet. In this case, you equip the drain yourself, for example, by creating a small podium in the bathroom, tiled with tiles. Shower enclosures Timo (Timo ALTTI-609 F, Timo ALTTI-611), as well as corners with a shower tray, can be of different shapes and sizes.

There are Timo shower enclosures on the market with both hinged and sliding doors. Swinging boxes require more free space in the bathroom. Buyers tend to prefer more ergonomic options, so in the Timo catalog you will find corners equipped with sliding doors with 4 silent metal double rollers.

Shower enclosure walls can be made of polystyrene or glass. Models made of plastic are cheaper, but they lose their visual appeal much faster - they grow cloudy, fade. Glass is much more durable and retains its attractive appearance for decades with proper care. The Timo models are assembled using 6 mm toughened, impact-resistant clear or frosted glass.
