How to choose?
When choosing a specific model, you should choose its size. There are only two characteristics by which you can determine the size of the desired product, namely:
- bathroom room size - if you have a small bathroom, and you are not going to limit yourself in size, then the best solution may be an asymmetric bathtub with an angular shape;
- the complexion of the person himself - if your whole family will actively use the product, then it is worth considering when choosing the physique of all its members.
The shape of the bathtub will play an important role in the selection. - it can be rectangular or angular symmetrical, as well as asymmetric, round or in the form of a triangle, oval or generally non-standard shape. In the catalog of the company you can find any shape of a bath to the taste of the most demanding consumer. By the way, it is also good to immediately determine the location of the product in your bathroom, which option suits you best - with installation on the left side or on the right.
Very popular model with door. It allows you to easily get out of a deep product, which is extremely important for children or the elderly. The Enisey bathtub on the frame has a door of this kind, so you should pay attention to it if the high sides of an ordinary bathtub make it difficult to get out of it.
