It is very important that the bathroom is comfortable and comfortable to wash. Someone has enough shower cubicle, and some just need a bath. In the case of a lack of space in the bathroom for a full rectangular bath, the designers propose to install an asymmetrical corner.
In this article we will consider: what kinds and sizes can there be asymmetric corner baths.
Benefits of corner baths
Designers are increasingly proposing to install angular asymmetric bathtubs, as they have a number of advantages:
- unusual shapes;
- the inside is comfortable and spacious;
- possibility to install in both large and small bathrooms;
- occupy less space than rectangular;
- equipped with additional elements: headrest, handles, niches for accessories, non-slip bottom, built-in plastic curtain from the spray;
- presence of lighting, hydromassage and aeromassage, control panel.
Even with such a number of advantages, acrylic corner baths are not very expensive, their cost starts from $ 150 and increases from the size and number of additional functions.
The main types of corner baths
1. For the metal used for manufacturing:
- acrylic;
- steel;
- cast iron.
Acrylic corner asymmetric baths are most often encountered, since acrylic melts very easily and it is possible to make an object of any shape from it. Such baths differ in small weight, low cost, sufficient heat capacity and unpretentiousness in care. Models made of steel are less common.
Due to the difficult process of melting iron, high cost, weight and size, (compared to acrylic), cast iron corner baths are very rare.
2. In the place of installation, determined by the location of the right angle of the bath:
- right-sided;
- left-handed.
Usually manufacturers make each model in both versions.
Dimensions of angled asymmetric bathtubs
Usually the length of such a bath is determined from the long side, which extends from the right angle (along the wall). It ranges from 130cm to 180cm:
- 130-140 cm is a corner bath in small sizes, the width of such models is 70-100 cm, and the volume is up to 200 l;
- 150-160 cm - a medium-sized bath, the width can be from 50 to 150 cm, the volume of 220-350 liters;
- from 170 cm - large baths, width - 100-150 cm, the volume is more than 400 liters, is designed for two people.
The bathroom with an asymmetric corner bathtub is distinguished by increased comfort, functionality, unusualness and individuality.
