The dimensions of the shower. compact and large models.
If you have firmly decided to install a booth in addition to the bathroom or use only a shower, the most important thing you should never forget about is the correct determination of the size of the future system. Its comfort and practicality largely depend on this, for example, a 60/60 shower cubicle will be comfortable only for a small thin person, people with larger physique will be very crowded.
Therefore, pay close attention to the issue of system configuration.
What you should know about the size of booths
In order for you to determine the best option, you should consider a few very simple, but very useful criteria:
| Form of construction | You can find several basic options, we will look at each of them below, but now we will only list them: square, semi-circular, rectangular, pentagonal and round. You can find more unusual configurations, but they are not very widespread, so we will not dwell on them in detail. |
| Height from pallet to watering can | Many people forget about this nuance and then have to wash in the shower, bent over. The average height in closed showers is about 190 cm, if your height is higher, then it is much easier to get an open cabin, because in it you can place a shower at any height that is convenient for you. |
| Location Type | If the space in your bathroom is limited, it is very important to choose the optimal location for the stall. Most often, the design is located in one of the corners, but it can adjoin only one wall or even be placed in the middle of the room, but this option is advisable only with a large area and good natural lighting. |
| Version of the product | It's all quite simple: the cabin can be completely separated from the room, and maybe an option in which only part of the space is fenced off. For example, a shower cubicle 200 cm by 80 cm can be a bath, one part of which can be separated by a partition and used as a cabin, and if desired, the door opens and you can lie in the water. |
Note! If you cannot decide which size to choose, so that the passage is free and there is enough space inside the compartment, it is better to sacrifice space outside, since you can walk through a space of 40 cm, while the small inner area will constantly cause inconvenience .
Overview of the most popular options
As for the size range, all products can be divided into three groups, we consider them first.
Compact models
We do not recommend using this option if it is possible to put a more spacious structure.
We will consider the most common options:
- As noted above, the shower 60x60 is very uncomfortable, even for not very large people. It is possible to install this option only if there is no other way out - in small bathrooms, in which every centimeter of space has to be counted. At the same time, we recommend the installation of open structures, in which there are no back walls, in order to win a little extra space.
- Option 70x70 can be considered the minimum solution, which provides some kind of convenience and comfort. Therefore, try to fit at least this option in your bathroom, in the future you will understand how important the extra 10 centimeters and how noticeable the difference is.
- 80 to 80 is an even more preferable solution, which, with a very compact size, can already provide good serviceability for most people, as practice shows, this option is the most popular and in demand among buyers.
Medium size modifications
This option combines a fairly high level of comfort and efficient use of space.
Consider the most common solutions:
- The parameters 90 to 90 are often considered to be compact models, but this is wrong, since these dimensions provide the convenience of placing a person, and the system is already quite large. If you have the ability to install rectangular options, then you can choose them, for example, a shower cabin 130x90 inside a much larger square option and it is much more convenient for people with any complexion to use it.
- A shower cabin 105 by 105 can be considered a complete solution for a wide variety of rooms. If you need to bathe children, you can purchase a modification with a deep tray, it is perfect for this purpose. You can also find angular options with a seat on which you can sit comfortably and steam up your legs or do a hydromassage of the feet, if such a mode is provided in the model.
- Models 110x100 and 120x120, as well as all sorts of rectangular variations with these dimensions, are also classified as medium. They are more spacious and convenient, but the price of these options will be significantly different from all the above solutions. The choice of a particular configuration depends on the characteristics of the room and the location of the product.
Large models
These are the top options that are practically not found in the budget version, so the quality meets the highest standards.
Consider the most common dimensions:
- Shower 130 by 130 cm This is a full-fledged compartment that can have both deep and shallow pan, it all depends on your preferences and needs. Most often, the design provides for seats, shelves for storing small items and other useful modes such as ozonation, etc. The main thing is that you have the necessary space on which this convenient system will be located.
- Shower 140 on 140 provides comfortable accommodation for two or three people. Therefore, the steam bath is often included in the list of functions, that is, the compartment is hermetically sealed, and you can enjoy the Turkish hammam - a very useful procedure that brings great benefits to health and relieves fatigue.
- Shower 150 to 150 - the flagship in the construction of this kind. Of course, you can find larger options, but they are very rare, so we will not consider them. Such a solid size allows you to fit into the system all the possible "bells and whistles", including a jacuzzi or even an improvised Finnish sauna, which is finished with natural wood.
It is also worth noting that when choosing, one should pay attention not only to dimensions, but also to other important criteria:
- Available set of functions for a particular configuration.
- High quality materials used in production, especially when it comes to pressurized systems with steam generators.
Note! Remember that it is inconvenient for older people to step over a high shower tray, so it’s better to choose the option with a low base.
- It is important to assemble the system in the manner prescribed by the instructions; this ensures its reliability.
Conclusion
No matter which option you choose - be it the most compact solution or the top-end shower enclosure 150x150, it is important that the design fits into your room and does not interfere with the use of other elements in the room.
