Bathroom dimensions: the height of the bathroom from the floor, the width and volume of the bathroom

Bath dimensions

Of course, you will want to stay at large sizes so that it is comfortable to lie in the bathtub, but you will also have to take into account the area of the room. It is important that the selected model is placed there freely, leaving room for other items. It is also important to consider the height and build of family members. The best option is a bathtub in which you can take a reclining body position without bending your legs. The width is determined by the distance of the body from the edges of the bath, it should be between 5 and 8 centimeters.

As for the depth, it can be different, but when choosing one or another model, remember that a deep bath will require more water to fill than a shallower one. If the product is purchased for the elderly, follow the advice of experts and choose a bathtub no more than sixty centimeters deep. Getting out of a deep bath can be problematic.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of seated plumbing is compactness. Even in a very small room, there is a suitable place for it, where it will not interfere with anyone.

Other advantages of such a product:

Those whose bodies require additional support and protection - these are people with disabilities and the elderly - feel great in a sitz bath. Thanks to special handrails, a person can enter and exit the bathroom without assistance.
Such plumbing is very helpful for pregnant women who are in the last stages of pregnancy, as during this period they feel awkward. They should not bend over or raise their legs high, and in the "sitting" position, they once again do not strain their abdominal muscles.
Not every person can take water procedures in a regular bath. For example, a person with heart disease is not allowed to take a bath while lying down. But the sitz bath is just that.

Sitz baths

Such plumbing may have disadvantages:

some imported models are expensive;
many people do not like the small size of the bathroom;
if a person likes to take water procedures lying down, then in such a model it is not possible to do this.

If the homeowner still chose such a product, taking into account all its advantages and disadvantages, then he must decide on the material from which it is made.

What to consider when choosing a bath size?

Be sure to consider what size the doorway in your bathroom is. It may happen that you bring the bath home, but you cannot bring it in the doorway. As for the form, the market offers models of a wide variety of shapes, colors, materials and manufacturers.

Rectangular baths have different sizes. If the area of the room is very small, you can choose miniature models that are equipped with a special seat.

Today, asymmetric models are in high demand among buyers. Their popularity is due to their ease of use and compactness, which is important for small rooms. If the area of the bathroom allows, you can purchase a large round or oval bathtub. The length of such products reaches 170 centimeters or more, and the width is from 70 centimeters.

We model various options for its location, including corner plumbing products;
We write down the result obtained - bath, size, preferred shape;

are not an insurmountable obstacle;

What should you look for when buying a bathtub?

Please pay attention to the installation system before purchasing, it must match the water conduit system. If you yourself are poorly versed in this matter, seek advice from a specialist.

Separate attention should be paid to the complete set of the bath, if it does not provide for the presence of a siphon, you need to purchase it together with the plumbing, so that the designs of the drain unit of the bath and drain fittings (siphon) are combined. This is very important during the installation and operation of the bath to prevent water leakage.

The complete set of the bath provides for the mandatory presence of the fittings necessary for the installation (overflow system - drain with piping). Plastic flexible hoses are used for connection to sewer pipes.

For safety reasons, choose a bathtub with a non-slippery bottom, treated with a special coating so that it does not slip.The anti-slip effect is achieved by adding inclusions of rubber or quartz chips to the coating.
