Choosing a 120 cm long corner bath
In the modern world, a bath is one of the most popular ways of taking water treatments. It is worth saying that with the development of technology, people's preferences for such things are changing. Because of this, the bathtub is now seen not only as a plumbing fixture, but also as a design item. Today I would like to talk about corner baths with a length of 120 cm, because they are one of the most popular among all types of such plumbing.
Peculiarities
Of course, such bathtubs have an angular structure for a reason. This is due to several reasons that can be attributed to the pluses.
- Spaciousness and compactness. This advantage is one of the most important why these models have such a shape. Often times in the bathroom, the corners remain intact, and in fact they can be placed in plumbing fixtures or furniture. Recently, manufacturers are increasingly creating models with an angular structure, because they save space. This also applies to baths, since standard and familiar models can cut the free area of the bathroom.
- Modern design. Since corner baths began to be in demand relatively recently, the emphasis was placed not only on functionality, but also on design. As a rule, such models are not quite simple in shape, because a right angle allows you to create any rounding in the rest of the device.
- Variety for all types of rooms. The thing is that such baths can be both symmetrical and asymmetrical. Accordingly, such a choice allows the buyer to purchase and place the most suitable model without any problems.
- Large number of sizes... Manufacturers have made sure that corner baths are not only medium or large, but even miniature. For example, in addition to the standard 120x100, 120x90 or 150x90, you can find models 90x70 and 100x80.This variety of sizes is also a definite plus.
- Low weight. Thanks to this, transportation, installation and any maintenance are much easier than for standard baths, which are heavier.
- Different setting of the parties. If in your bathroom one of the free corners is already occupied, then in any case you will have the opportunity to choose plumbing fixtures for the desired layout. Most manufacturers, when creating a model, design several copies, which differ in the position of the sides.
The lineup
In order to study well the functionality of this type of plumbing, consider some models.
River 120x120 - an inexpensive bathroom that has all the necessary characteristics. Its depth is 55 cm, which is slightly more than that of other models. The design is in the shape of a quarter circle. Installation is carried out on a frame, which gives it strength and reliability.

This bath is designed for two people. The material of creation is acrylic. It is durable, inexpensive, resistant to damage and meets all quality requirements.
Kolpa-San Royal - model of a square shape measuring 120x120 cm. The shape is made in the form of a quarter of a circle, the depth is 43 cm.

In addition to the basic equipment, there is one additional accessory in the form of a seat.
Ravak Classic - Czech bathtub measuring 120x70. It should be noted that this model is only for 1 person. This bathtub is made of acrylic, which is the most popular component for many types of sanitary ware. This material is versatile in that it is relatively inexpensive and at the same time very effective.
It is easy to maintain and does not require any special maintenance.
Like other models, the front panel is removable. The complete set includes a universal handle and a headrest, which will make your time in the bathroom even more comfortable. The stored water volume is 125 liters.
Criterias of choice
The most important selection criterion is the material of which the bathtub and its panel are made. As mentioned earlier, it is acrylic that is the most popular among manufacturers. It is quite high quality and at the same time not very expensive. Acrylic is resistant to various damages, it does not require careful maintenance.
It is worth saying about one feature of acrylic, namely about its deflections.... The fact is that this material is made of polymer, which tends to deform under heavy weight, so with prolonged use it may seem to you that the walls of the bathtub will move.
To avoid this problem, it is best to purchase a model made of injection molded acrylic, because it is harder.
Cast iron is a very durable and reliable material that has been tested by time... Using modern technologies, manufacturers cover this material with enamel, which protects the bath from bacteria and dirt. In addition to strength, cast iron is excellent at keeping temperature. With a half-hour use of a bath made of this material, the water temperature in it will decrease by only 2 degrees.
The only drawback of cast iron is that it is quite expensive, but this is compensated by the fact that it has a very long service life.
The main advantage of glass is environmental friendliness. It should be noted that a glass bath is safe, because all its edges are not sharp. Therefore, even if you can break such a durable material, there will still be no harm to health. Also, the glass panel is very easy to maintain if it is washed often enough with detergents.
Another important criterion is the shape and size of the model. As described earlier, The most important advantage of the corner baths is that they can fit into a bathroom of almost any size.
Despite this, it is better to take measurements before buying so that you are completely sure that the chosen model will definitely suit you.
The most common corner shapes are the quarter circle, square, and rectangle.
The first option will not cut the space in the room, because its free part, not adjacent to the wall, without sharp corners. The second and third options are perfect for those bathrooms where the walls are of different lengths and widths.
Of course, the price also plays an important role, which depends on the material and functionality. Some corner baths are equipped with hydromassage, which can also be considered a selection criterion when purchasing, as this function makes the process of taking water procedures more comfortable.
If several people will use the bathroom at once or the weight of one person is higher than the average, then it is better to purchase a model with thick walls and a bottom.
