Choosing a 160 cm long corner bath
Choosing a 160 cm long corner bath is simple and difficult at the same time. Simple - because there are many such models in the assortment of plumbing stores. But it is difficult - because only an attentive consumer, having understood all the nuances, will make the right decision.
Key features
The dimensions of the bath are no less important than the material used for it or additional technical means. And the dimension of 160 cm in length is popular for a reason. It has long been established that with a size of less than 150 cm, it is almost impossible for an adult to take a bath while lying down... At the same time, very large structures (longer than 170-180 cm) will not even fit into most new apartments. What can we say about the "Khrushchev" and even "Brezhnev" housing stock.
It is equally important to emphasize what are the features of the angular structure, why it is better than a direct analogue.
This solution allows you to:
to provide a harmonious combination with other plumbing fixtures and with the main finishing elements;
limit yourself to self-installation and not waste money, time to call experienced plumbers;
achieve the best balance between limited external and expanded internal volume;
also achieve an intriguing, unusual appearance.
Corner baths are usually divided into:
triangular;
rhombic;
rectangular beveled formats.
Selection recommendations
If you have no special wishes and you want the bathtub to “just work”, you can limit yourself to an acrylic structure. Such a solution is convenient, practical and outwardly cozy. But it will be necessary to carefully look, so that the structure is made of plumbing, and not of universal acrylic. In this case, the best mixer option is a cascade built-in mixer. Experts consider a suspended product only a compromise.
When consumers go to any real or online store, they find that the cost of baths with "the same" declared characteristics may differ by 2-3 times... In this case, it is better to focus on the average price range. And if there is a possibility - then to the upper third of the price tag.
The fact is that cheap models are too often made of low-quality materials. It will split easily afterwards. Believe me, forgers have learned to do everything in such a way that only specialists can identify a defect.
But it is still worth watching carefully so that acrylic is the same thickness everywhere. Counterfeiters can use too thin or poor material in the middle in the height, and at the very bottom, and in the area of the armrests. If you need the most varied colors, you need to choose expensive designs. Cast iron and steel baths should be considered last. Moreover, steel is even worse than cast iron, although it is lighter, but too "sonorous" when hit by a water jet.
Every component of the bathroom, including the 160 cm long corner bathtub, must work for overall harmony. Only then will it be possible to create a pleasant and beautiful interior. It is useful to study reviews of specific modifications and manufacturers of bathtubs in advance.
Experienced consumers also always require quality certificates and are not satisfied with just being shown documents, but read them carefully. Finally, you also need to make sure that the store is trustworthy on its own.
Modifications
