What to choose: a bath or shower, the pros and cons of both

Preferably both. And not necessarily separate - Now there are many models that combine a full walk-in shower and a bath. However, there are such a lot of solutions. And take a lot of space. And when the choice of equipment to be in a tiny room or on a limited budget, it is difficult not to make a mistake. To reduce the probability of a miss in the first place should be guided by their needs and capabilities.

Obvious advantages of the bathroom

Price. Even the most simple shower will cost more spacious bathroom with no frills, which often becomes the deciding factor.

Ease of installation. This statement can bring a smile to those who look at the hefty cast-iron monsters (which is not a bad option). However, even to install them is easier than a booth under which will have to seriously alter dedicated to the bathroom area. And if you remember about the lightweight steel and acrylic baths, the advantage will be obvious.

Relax. This is the main advantage. After all, enough to get water, add to it a few drops of essential oil or even something nice-healing, and then dive into the warm embrace of life-giving water. Complete relaxation is guaranteed. And with it will come and spiritual balance, because in this state, it is difficult not to forget about the problems.

Practicality. The soul is not easy to bathe a small child, to fix a pet or simply to wash the spilled tea on a favorite blanket. A washing vacuum cleaner, large pans or baking without extra rinse spray where? Right. Not in the shower. Some talents even a bike wash in the bathroom, which once again highlights its versatility.

disadvantages

Dimensions. Bath intended to completely submerge. This implies the capacity. And overall. In the small bathroom is often under it do not have space. And then it is necessary to combine a bathroom with toilet (not the best solution) or to abandon the convenience of selecting a compact model. And what about those who do not want yutit washing machine in the kitchen?

Cold. Perhaps this point and looks a bit strange, but it is true. Even the smallest room is heated to a comfortable value for a long time. And if the water temperature is easily maintained at the desired level by simply adding a little hot, so the air will not work. As a result - easy jitters forced forgotten about the recent relaxation, as widening the pores are sensitive to chill rushing into the ventilation flow.

Insecurity. Acrobatics, complementary efforts to keep his balance, often performed at the entrance-exit from the bathroom. And all because it is impossible to make a rough - it will be unpleasant to come into contact with the surface of the tank during water treatment parts of the body.

Inconvenience. Item looks strange for all but the middle-aged people. For most of them to get over the high ledge like a feat. And to keep the calm breathing when trying to reach the heel in half-sitting position and not doable task.

Cabin obvious advantages

Compactness. This statement could be called controversial, because some models (especially double), occupy a decent area. But if the cabin is equipped with sliding doors, even in the most tiny room still have room for household appliances.

Convenience. No pereshagivaniya through high boards, especially in models of flat pallets. Even people suffering from diseases of the musculoskeletal system, it is easier to rinse standing. In extreme cases, can be equipped with a folding seat cabin, increasing its comfort for these users. And if the choice was "deep" version (sides can reach a height of 45 cm), this disadvantage is offset by the ability to make booth Functional - bike does not fit, but to bathe the baby, pet or rinse after walking prostirnut anything is possible.

Frugality. Taking a shower, the average person consumes only 40-50 liters of water. Yes, fans soak up the elastic jets meter will record higher values. But they rarely reach the level of 200 liters per session. And for those who convinced that you can take a shower in the bathroom, is addressed to the next item.

Security. Since contact with the pallet feet only, it can not make slippery. This risk reduction training acrobat skills.

Comfort. Especially when it comes to closed booths (with its own ceiling). While the user is enjoying the warm water jets, a limited amount of air is warmed by steam. And after closing the tap will not have to watch the frost pimples on your skin (if this can be excluded, taking a shower in the bathroom?).

disadvantages

Cleaning. Yes, it can not be avoided in any case. It is one thing to clean up the room, which is where to turn. It's quite another - the battle with the lime scale on the walls, the distance between which can be called modest.

Practicality. Maybe not quite the right description, but the main function of the soul - by bystrenkomu wash off all unnecessary. Soak in the bath did not work. Of course there are cabins with whirlpool or steam generators, but you will have fun getting standing or maximum sitting. Yes, and absorb all the power of medicinal teas, aromatic oils and sea salt will not work - they simply washed away.

So what do you choose?

The only reasonable recommendation on this issue - should focus on their needs. If a family is dominated by connoisseurs of slow relaxation, there are small children and pets chetyrohlapye, but do not have those who find it difficult to move through the high side - definitely a bathtub. Otherwise rescue shower. Moreover, the last option - a worthy solution for small rooms. And this - the elimination of the need to combine the toilets (separate still better).
