In most standard Soviet-built houses, the bathroom is small in size. However, competently made modern repairs can fix this if you save space and put a shower or a corner instead of a bathroom. Choosing, you need to know what characteristics to pay attention to.
Shower cabin or shower cabin - which is better
Among the variety of plumbing it is difficult to give preference to something one. Shower cabins or a shower corner are presented in thousands of variations, so comparing them is meaningless. However, some people have to make a choice, relying only on the size of their bathroom, and not on personal wishes. There are a number of aspects that need to be considered:
- If your plans include only taking a shower - take the angle. He does not have any additional functions, but he does a good job with the main one. It is only necessary to place the mixer on the wall at a convenient height.
- If there is no desire to spend a lot of time on installation, your option is a cabin. It is already sold ready, you only need to connect the water supply.
- The angle will be cheaper, especially if the design is not important to you. Save on the cabin is not worth it, because leaks and yellowing of poor-quality plastic are possible.
- If for you the high pallet is important, choose a cabin( in corners it will be no more than 25-26 cm).Convenience is that water accumulates in it and merges gradually.
- The main advantages of the angles for the shower are reduced to small dimensions: it is easy to find the options with a quarter-round tray and dimensions of 70x70 or 90x90.
- The cab can have additional functions: display, control panel, radio, voice control, shower-massage, remote control.
What is the difference between the shower cabin and the shower cabin
When the owners start repairing, they should think carefully about what kind of result they want to get, what are the possibilities, and on this basis choose the devices. For example, a shower cabin from a shower cabin is distinguished by the need to collect it yourself. In addition, it does not have a "roof", it is designated as a type with an open cabin and can be sold without doors. The angle is only intended for taking a shower without any additional options. It is better to install it immediately after repair to properly install the drain.

Reviews of shower enclosures - which is better
Lily, 29 years old
As an alternative to a bath or shower, it was decided to install a corner after the repair. Before buying this product in the online store, we carefully studied the reviews. And did not lose! The shower corner fits perfectly into our small bathroom, takes up little space and does not flow. Taking a shower now is a pleasure.
Anastasia, 37 years old
For a long time we selected a plumber after repair in the bathroom. We decided to buy a corner, we did not have much room for a shower. Acquired a budget model with an asymmetric pallet, the assembly of which was very difficult. After a few uses, I noticed that the angle leaks. Attempts to do something with this have not been crowned with success.
