Corner baths in a small bathroom

The bathroom is one of those rooms where you can not only perform all hygiene procedures, but also enjoy being under warm streams of water that relieve stress and fatigue. Many users mistakenly believe that this is practically impossible in a small room. Today, on the plumbing market, you can buy corner baths of any size - they will adequately complement the interior of a small footage and decorate any design.

Designers claim that corner baths are ideal for small rooms for taking hygiene procedures. Ordinary plumbing can simply clutter up a room, and a shower cabin cannot replace a good rest in the font.

A feature of such structures is the multifunctionality of use, when the arrangement of any additional detail saves space and brings maximum pleasure.

• For example, faucets on such models can be installed both in the corner and on the side panel.
• As for the side panel, it is not included in the kit, but is purchased additionally - in size and color.
• Handles in such products are made of chrome plating to protect the metal from moisture ingress.
• In some models, especially acrylic ones, special "seats" are provided. This is very important for the elderly and those with musculoskeletal problems.
• In other designs, you can install shelves for bathroom accessories.
• Some of the more expensive models are coated with special antibacterial compounds or self-cleaning coatings. However, this cannot save the surface of the corner structure from scratches and chips.

The latest models are equipped with a popular attribute - a hydromassage unit. For this, nozzles are installed in the product, through which a mixture of water and air enters the bath, which has a healing effect for the whole body:

• usually the nozzles, which are "responsible" for the massage, direct a stream of water to the area of ​​the legs and back;
• for the operation of the hydromassage system, a control panel is built into the bath body, thanks to which you can set various spray modes.

Corner baths differ in size and material of manufacture, as well as additional equipment, which allows them to perfectly fit into any design.

There are many materials for making bathtubs, and each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.

• One of the most common is stainless steel - inexpensive but very durable material. These bathtubs are durable, they can be used with proper care for about 20 years. Models heat up well and keep high temperature for a long time.

• Products are popular acrylic... The material is very flexible, so bowls of all shapes are made from it. Acrylic is environmentally friendly, retains heat well, the weight of the product made of it is small.

• Strength cast iron has been known since time immemorial. The walls of the bathtub made of this metal are much thicker than those of their steel counterparts. True, and much harder. But such structures do not deform, they perfectly absorb noise.

• The most budgetary option is plastic bathtubs. Plastic is resistant to temperature changes, visually attractive, but its service life is short, up to 5 years.

• Quaril baths have quality characteristics. It is a wear-resistant material made from acrylic and quartz, to which various mineral components are added. They are more expensive than acrylic counterparts, visually flawless.

Corner bathtubs can be symmetrical or asymmetrical, it all depends on your preference or the size of the bathroom. Their differences are also in connection. Angular structures differ in the depth and shape of the bowl, and, of course, in size. Usually corner models are produced from 120 to 185 cm.

Today, there are three types of corner baths on the plumbing market:

• in the form of a petal;
• in the form of a drop, slightly trimmed;
• in the form of a fan.

Asymmetric designs (diamond-shaped, triangular) have sides of different lengths and bulges. The popularity of such fonts is explained not only by the original design, but also by the related functionality. Such a bath can be installed even in a very small room.

Steel baths are a variant of asymmetric designs that fit into a small bathroom, but cast iron products, due to their massiveness and rather high cost, are suitable for spacious rooms. Acrylic bathtubs are considered a compromise in this regard: both their size and their shape fit perfectly into any room.

• The size of the font, that is, its capacity, also matters. A small one requires a pump of not the most enormous power. Even it is enough to install a hydromassage installation.

It is also important to consider the location of the bath.

• In a small room, it is best to install a corner bath in the far corner, and the necessary toilet and sink along the longest wall.

• An asymmetric model is installed, on the contrary, against the longest wall in order to maintain space in the center of the room.

• If your room is square, buy a symmetrical font and install it on either side, opposite the sink and toilet.

The mosaic in blue creates the effect of a “sea” room. Laid out in waves on the walls and sides of the font, in combination with white tiles, it will recreate a seascape in your room.
