Pros and cons of similar designs

Using the option shower and bath - two in one has a number of undoubted advantages:

Space saving	The interior of the bathroom with bath and shower looks piled up, especially when it comes to a small or medium room. Moreover, in most of the standard bathrooms, the two structures at the same time simply will not fit together, and if they are installed, there will be no space for a sink and a washing machine.
The convenience of use	There is enough space inside the structure to turn, bend, etc. without any problems. Unlike cramped cabins, this option is spacious and allows you to feel comfortable even for large people.
Having a bath	In this embodiment, not a deep pan was used, where you can sit at best, but a full bath, in which you can lie down. But at the same time, you can quickly take a shower if time is limited.
Rich feature set	In such models, you can find almost any function - from different shower modes, to hydromassage, aromatherapy and radio with a telephone connection. In addition, the design can have a very original lighting and unusual design.
Tightness	Splashes will not fall on the floor and walls, it will be appreciated by those who have children, who love to splash in the bathroom and periodically fill the entire floor, this problem will be solved once and for all.
Efficiency	The price of such modifications is lower than the two designs separately. By and large, the cost of a complex option is 20% higher than conventional corner structures, but the level of comfort is incommensurable.

Bathtub combined with shower - an option that will solve several problems at once

There is a solution and disadvantages, consider them in more detail:

At the entrance it is necessary to raise the legs high, but it’s not easier to enter the bathroom, and here you can lean on the partition.
The design takes a lot of space, but again, when compared with the bathroom, there is practically no difference.
Assembling such models with your own hands is quite complicated, so you may need the help of professionals.

Note! It should be noted that the quality of products of this kind is usually at a high enough level, therefore, they serve for a very long time.

The corner bath and shower together create a very spacious structure.

Features of the choice of quality options

Consider what criteria should pay the most attention, so as not to make a mistake when buying.

Manufacturing materials

First of all, you need to understand what the container is made of:

Acrylic bath with shower - the most popular and common option, which has a number of advantages: low noise level when falling water, low weight, attractive appearance. Even if you damage the structure, there is a possibility of its repair, of course, if the deformation is not very strong.

Cast iron baths are very strong, but their weight is large, which makes it difficult to transport and carry. In addition, when heavy objects fall, enamel can break away, and it will be difficult to eliminate this problem without the help of specialists.
Steel versions are less durable than cast iron, moreover, when using them, the increased noise level due to the small thickness of the walls.

As for materials for the manufacture of partitions, then there are two main groups:

Products made of tempered glass with a thickness of 6-8 mm are of great strength and durability. This material is able to withstand considerable loads, there is no buildup on the surface, and it is very easy to wash and clean it, even if the partition breaks, the fragments will be small and without sharp edges. The only major drawback is the large weight of the elements.
Partitions made of polymeric materials are much lighter than glass, but their reliability is inferior to the first variant. Nevertheless, with the observance of the rules of operation and constant cleaning, you can maintain an attractive appearance of the structure for a long period of time.

Tip! It is better to choose options with anti-flame coating - it provides surface water-repellent properties, which prevents the formation of plaque and rapid contamination.

The design of the valves

Another important factor that should not be overlooked, there may be two main options:

Sliding systems are good because they do not require extra space and space for their opening, the sash just go for each other and that's it. But it is very important to choose the option with a reliable mechanism, as low-quality rollers quickly fail, and this can be your constant headache. In order for the mechanism to work as long as possible, periodically adjust it (the instruction will tell you how to do it).

Swing doors - This is a classic version of the system, which is characterized by simplicity and functionality, but in this case, the presence of free space in front of the booth is required. In addition, it is very important that the curtains are made of durable steel, since the weight of the glass door is very large.

Used plumbing

It is important that the system contains all the necessary functions that you use, but no more. The pursuit of the number of "bells and whistles" is fraught with, firstly, large overpayments, and secondly, the fact that you probably will not use most of the modes, and these are potential places for problems in the future.

Here it is important to remember a few simple tips:

The mixer must be brass, and the assembly must be collapsible so that in case of problems only the cartridge is replaced, and not the whole mechanism.
It is better to choose more expensive options in which products of well-known companies are used, since the reliability of the system largely depends on them, because problems with mixers are the most common of all.
Be sure to check the operation of all modes immediately after assembly.
