So what's so special about the showers? In fact, the difference between them and the corners is visible at once, even an inexperienced person. These differences in the selection can be important, and can and do not represent any value.
Basically, the different booths from over - is the presence of partitions. It allows, without thinking of the waterproofing, put the shower, wherever you go.
Anyone with even minimal experience of "dialogue" with showers, understands that the assembly - is not easy. At the same time, the presence of painted detail records is no guarantee that will assemble easily and without difficulty. At least a day will have to spend on it to connect all the design elements into a coherent whole.
Booths are many, but if you look for quality products from well-known brands, the few times you will think about the advisability of purchase. But the quality can not be inexpensive.
Cabs have many additional features that make the device multifunctional and complex.
What is the corner for the soul
Corner shower - a banal fencing. But! Meeting him in the department store it is possible and does not understand what it is. After all, there it is set on the tray, and looks like a shower. But there is one feature that clearly distinguishes it even at first glance - no faucet and showerhead.
Sellers solely for the sake of beauty set shower stalls in the trays, and then the beautiful pictures shown on websites. But no one is simply not bother to install the faucet. But it can be clearly seen, even if the doors are closed. That's what, and should be targeted at purchase.
What is different from the corner booth
At first glance, one might think that the shower enclosure much simpler and more understandable structure. And indeed it is. Mount it faster than a cab. In fact, it's just a pallet and a door glass. The complexity here is simply nowhere to take, as well as numerous functions. But the cabin - it is completely different. It includes rich features designed to maintain human health, so the setup and installation more complicated.
There are clearly differences. In the corner there is no roof, there is a seal. Stopping the choice on it, you must take into account all characteristics of the premises. For a wooden house, the choice is more than obvious - clearly cabin.
Apart from such moments clearly, there are some nuances that can tip the scales in either direction:
- Cost. For the price of a cheap shower is quite possible to buy a quality area. This is very important.
- Durability and ease of care. Corners serve longer, they are not demanding of care (wash the glass is not difficult). For cabins requires thorough care and quite difficult (acrylic is strikingly unpleasant tendency to contamination).
- Preliminary work. To install the shower enclosure is not necessary to prepare the room. Enough of what is necessary to bring sanitation and water supply, mounting bracket will require training. It is necessary to protect the walls of the water to equalize the floors, bring the water to the sewage system, install the faucet and shower.
What could be better? If we talk about durability - of course, the shower cabin.
The cabin is demanding on the quality of water - necessary to put filters. And it is not suitable for any interior. The classic style is clearly not fit. Corners minimalist in design, and therefore in harmony with any style.
For cabs can adjust the tray and to the corners of a suitable low.
The pros and cons of each option
Positive cabin quality:
- This self-contained unit. There is no need in the selection of individual elements, so that they correspond to each other.
- For interior decoration requirement. Cubicle completely isolated - either on the walls or on the floor will not get water.
- Installation is possible wherever there is water hoses.
Negative cabin quality:
- cab assembly completeness is not always like the buyer. Some functions may not be necessary, but you need to pay for them. And something extra to build it is very difficult. So we have to take what is offered.
- Size large cabin. Calculation goes on to external parties, the internal space is less. It turns out that the cabin space takes more than you may need to wash.
- Twenty years later, in the best case, the cockpit needs to be replaced. Something to repair it difficult and unprofitable, as the cost is equivalent to the acquisition of new equipment.
Important! Shower cubicle - ready-made kit. It need only take home and put in place. No need to think about the finish, sewerage and other plumbing problems to solve.
Area is only a door and a pair of dividers. All set on the floor or on a pallet. The kit does not include the tray, plumbing is also not included in the price. Everything will have to be purchased separately. The tray can only deliver low. This makes it impossible to combine bath and shower enclosure.
The advantage of a corner is that by buying it, do not pay for features that simply are not necessary.
To install the required certain skills. Everything must be put on a level, any curvature leakproof. Therefore, all surfaces should be thoroughly aligned. The walls and floor must be cured moisture barrier composition. Draining should consider in advance. The simplest option - it is using the tray.
Important! Shower cabin without a shower tray or it will fit into any interior. It looks easy, is not evident. Shower can arrange the way you want.
On what to stop a choice
Confidently say that it is better - to buy a walk-in shower or, in contrast, shower cabin, will not work. Both variants have advantages and disadvantages. The main thing that distinguishes them - is the cost.
Shower cabin is much cheaper than a cab. Practice shows that it is much more profitable to abandon the purchase of the booth, rather than buy a cheaper model. More unsuccessful investment than buying a budget cabin, it is difficult to imagine.
Saving money, you get a construction of "below average": from the low-grade material, with fixtures of poor quality. But high-quality shower bath is quite possible to buy.
