Showers and corners are becoming more and more popular, moving traditional overall baths from the pedestal. Still! After all, in the soul you can swim faster, and less water will go. In addition, the booth takes two to three times less space than the bath, and this is a huge plus if your bathroom is very small. But for the shower to be beautiful, comfortable and durable, it must be correctly selected and installed. And you should start everything with the pallet.
It is considered the most important element of the shower-kabinka, its foundation. Of course, you can buy a high -quality shower pallet only in a proven store or on the manufacturer’s website. So you will be 100 % sure that you have not slipped a fake. For example, there are excellent shower pallets on the official website of the company Kolo – a famous Polish producer of plumbing. But, in addition to the quality of the product, you will have to pay attention to a few more parameters – the material, size and shape of the pallet.
Forms
Before buying a shower pallet, exactly determine the place where it will stand. Depending on this, you can choose a corner, round, oval or rectangular version. There are even more exotic forms of bowls, for example, pentagonal. But they, as a rule, are sold only in sets of expensive shower boxes. Naturally, the shape of the bowl should be selected so that it approaches the place allotted in the room. Keep in mind also that it is easier for rectangular and square pallets to pick up showers and doors, which you can’t say about other forms.
Dimensions
It would seem that everything is clear here: choose a bowl that will fit into the bathroom in the dimensions. But there is one nuance. The most compact cabins and, accordingly, the smallest pallets have sizes 80 × 80 cm. Having a miniature bathroom, it is difficult to abandon the temptation to buy a shower pallet and other plumbing with minimal sizes. But keep in mind that you will have to actively move in the booth while bathing. Therefore, the shower should not be too tight. It is better to sacrifice a few free centimeters of the bathroom, but install at least a standard pan 90 × 90 cm. And a compact option can only be chosen if everyone in your family is distinguished by an elegant physique.
Materials
Everything is much more interesting here, because you can give free rein to your imagination and design talents. If the dimensions and shapes of pallets are usually limited by the parameters of the bathroom, then the materials are not related to them. Therefore, you can choose any option you like – a pallet of acrylic, steel, cast iron, ceramics, plastic, natural or artificial stone. Keep in mind that for steel and cast -iron pallets, the presence of an anti -slip relief at the bottom is desirable, but this is not required by acrylic and stone – they do not slip.
