Have sailed! Shower cabin with bathtub - we study design features and experience of use

The owners of small apartments, as well as the owners of suburban real estate, sometimes use shower cabins when arranging bathrooms, which are distinguished by their small overall dimensions and functionality. Manufacturers of such equipment do not stand still and develop new models that differ from the standard ones both in their size and availability of additional options, and in design. A shower stall with a bathtub is a new popular trend in the world of plumbing fixtures, and it is about it that will be discussed in this article.

A shower cabin with a bathtub can be installed in almost any room of a residential building without fear that water will damage the materials used in the decoration of this room

Advantages and disadvantages of shower cabins with a bath

If we consider the shower stall and the bathroom separately, then each type of such products has its own advantages and disadvantages, which determines the scope of their use and purpose. Combining a shower box and a bath in a single whole expands the functionality of the device and its capabilities. A shower cubicle combined with a bath allows the use of such a product by all family members - from young children to the elderly. The presence of various additional functions and options expands the capabilities of the models of such devices, and the variety of sizes, shapes and styles of design allows you to "fit" a shower box with a bath in any style of decoration of the room where it is installed.

Varieties of shower boxes with a bath

Shower boxes with a bath can differ in their design, which is reflected in their equipment, overall dimensions and methods of placement in a bathroom or other room of a residential building. The height of the bathtub in such products is, as a rule, 400 mm - which is quite enough for its full use, and the presence of a rectangular or angular structure allows the most convenient location of a shower box with a bathtub in the interior of an apartment or a country house. The design of the shower box can also be different, this is the location around the entire perimeter of the bath or only its partial covering.

The presence of special shelves and seats in the internal space is very convenient for use, and the presence of additional functions, which were described above, only enhances the positive effect of use.

Standard sizes of shower cabins with bath

The dimensions of the shower stall or bath, and especially when it is combined in one block, are very important when choosing a specific model, because it depends on the possibility of placing the product in a specific place in the internal space of the user's home, compatibility with the style of the room, as well as functionality and relevance.

The possibility of installation in one place or another depends on the height of the shower box, and the sides of the product determine the possibilities of using the bath. A large shower stall with a bathtub is the most functional, but this is reflected in its cost and the possibility of installation in a particular room. The most popular among users are models of standard sizes:

Manufacturers produce shower boxes with a bathtub and non-standard shapes, when a rectangular design and elements of a circle or oval are combined in one product. In this case, when choosing a model, you should focus on the largest overall size so that you can place the product in the intended location.

In addition, some models may have an unusual, different from the standard, shape: 110 × 85 and 170 × 85, 150 × 85 or 170 × 110 cm. The height is usually 210–240 cm, depending on the depth of the bath. As already mentioned above, the depth of the bath (pallet height) is 40 cm, but it can be even more - up to 60 cm.

Design features of angular and straight models

The main difference between shower cabins with angular and rectangular bathtubs is the opening mechanism and the shape of the doors, otherwise such models are structurally similar. It should be noted that products of an angular shape, as a rule, are made of a closed type, which implies the presence of internal (rear) walls and an upper partition. Rectangular models can be equipped with open-type shower enclosures, in which there are only doors facing the interior of the room.
