Many families today prefer shower cabins and without hesitation refuse from standard baths. This is not only a real saving of space and water, but also a great way to equip your bathroom with a comfortable shower with a massage effect or complement the modern interior. When choosing the size of shower cabins with or without a bathroom, it is important to consider the dimensions of the room, the location of the remaining elements and, of course, your own preferences.
Types and sizes of shower cabins
The market today is represented by a variety of sizes and types of structures. As a rule, manufacturers are repelled from the typical sizes of bathrooms, the most popular forms and models. Conditionally, it is possible to divide all the sizes of the shower enclosure into three types:
- Small-sized (they include models with wall sizes from 70 to 100 cm);
- average (here the wall sizes range from 80-130 cm);
- Full-length (the length of the wall can reach 170 cm and more).
High and low models are distinguished in height. In the first case, the height of the wall, including the height of the pallet, can reach 210-240 cm. In low models, the pallet may be missing, and the height of the wall is within 170-190 cm.
The dimensions of the smallest shower enclosure, according to such parameters, are as follows: walls with a width and length of about 80 cm, a height of 170 cm. Some manufacturers meet a minimum size of a shower wall of 75 cm, but this is a non-standard design of asymmetrical models.
What size shower cabin to choose?
To determine, it is important to first choose the most suitable form. Most often in apartments with small bathrooms choose corner types of booths. Also in demand are niche or adjacent to one wall of the structure.
Now, in more detail, let's look at the size of the shower cabins, and in which case they will suit you. Here are the standard sizes of the shower enclosure that manufacturers today offer.
- The most popular are the shower cubicle dimensions 80x80 cm. As a rule, there is very little space in the apartments under the bathroom, many are equipped with a combined bathroom. You save a place that can be taken away under furniture or a washing machine. Most often this size is found in a square or corner shower in the form of a quarter circle.
- If the dimensions of the bathroom allow, you can choose the models 90x90 cm. Here, manufacturers have a larger field for work, so the design options and additional "bonuses" in such models are much greater.
- Dimensions 100x100 cm refer to full-scale shower designs with a full range of functions and the ability to take a shower sitting. The wall of the corner shower enclosure within 100 cm allows it to be equipped with all the necessary devices at the same time
there is plenty of room for a comfortable shower.
Shower cabin according to individual sizes
There are times when standard sizes are not suitable for a bathroom. They include the need to install a booth in a private house with an unusual bathroom or a combination when repairing the toilet with a bath.
Then you can order the smallest shower enclosure with dimensions of 70x70 cm. In some cases 98x98 cm or 135x135 cm are used. Sometimes it is necessary to install rectangular shower cabins with non-standard sizes or shapes. These include booths 110x85 cm, 170x85 cm, there are also sizes of 150x85 cm or 170x110 cm. The individual order is of course reflected in the cost of construction, but it makes it possible to choose the optimal size of the shower. So this alternative bathroom is in demand both in small apartments, so spacious private homes.
