Choosing a 140 cm long corner bath

Choose a 140 cm long corner bath very carefully and carefully. This type of plumbing allows you to save space as much as possible.

The 140 cm long bathtub is a simple and concise product. It is definitely recommended for installation in apartments with a small footage. The opinion that most people need a bathtub with a length of 170 cm or more is largely incorrect. But you still need to take into account the objective limitations that the room itself creates. A small bath comes in many different shapes, but an angular design works best.

It is not for nothing that it has become fashionable. But it is wrong to believe that all corner structures are suitable for medium-sized premises. There, asymmetric products are most often used, which will take up a smaller area than their direct counterparts. In this case, the bowl is even slightly wider. Therefore, the corner bath is considered a very ergonomic and comfortable type of plumbing equipment.

Many models of this shape can be performed in a very extraordinary way. They become not just a place to wash, but a real decoration of the bathroom. True, you will have to pay extra money for an exclusive or a typical bathtub carefully thought out by designers. Besides, corner bathtub compatible with a wide variety of additional options and accessories... With rare exceptions, models of such plumbing are made in both the right and left versions, which greatly facilitates home improvement.

The first step in choosing a 140 cm long corner bathtub is naturally finding the right material. And many people justifiably prefer the popular acrylic. He is appreciated for:

• low thermal conductivity;
• comparative ease;
• ease of maintenance in good hygienic condition;
• long-term maintenance of water temperature.

And we are not talking about mechanical impact - it is unlikely that someone will hit the bathtub with the necessary force to destroy it. Even the best acrylics are afraid of aggressive detergents, especially those with abrasive additives. If a choice is made in favor of this particular material, you need to check additionally how thick the sheets of acrylic were used by the manufacturer. Decent models cannot be thinner than 0.4 cm, and ideal ones in quality have a minimum thickness of 0.5 cm.

But dubious products, made in some unknown place and by someone unknown, are formed from a thin sheet. It is additionally covered with a layer of ABS. This coating increases rigidity and impact resistance. But gradually the owners will discover an unpleasant "surprise" - the surface of the bathtub turns yellow. And nothing can be done about it.

Further it is worth considering the baths. enamelled steel... The thickness of the steel sheet can be less (0.15-0.35 cm), but this, of course, does not give real space savings. The thicker the walls, the more durable (and more expensive) the bathtub. The high cost of some models is associated with the use of devices that improve water flow and subsequent treatment. It should be noted that in a steel tank, it will not work to collect water without noise, but inside it it will quickly cool down.

The traditional and still popular option is cast iron. It keeps the temperature much better than steel (although worse than acrylic). The cast iron surface perfectly resists mechanical stress and even abrasives. However, the selection of suitable models is very difficult. And the mass of the structure will discourage many.

In addition to these points, when choosing a specific model, you need to consider:

• reviews about her;
• the depth of the bowl;
• the height and width of the bath;
• additional accessories and options included in the kit.

In the category 140x90 cm you can choose an acrylic bathtub Cersanit Joanna 140 R. The height of the Polish product is 42 cm. Together with the support, it reaches 58.5 cm. Its internal volume is 185 liters. It is impossible to put hydromassage equipment into it.

Other features:

• asymmetrical design;
• cutting edge design style;
• the ability to adjust the height of the legs;
• overflow drain and headrest must be purchased separately.

A good alternative to it is Riho Lyra 140 L. The structure can be built-in or floor-mounted. In the second option, there is a choice between legs and frame. The volume is slightly larger than that of the Polish counterpart - 190 liters.

Other parameters:

• anti-slip coating is not provided;
• the outer section of the drain is 5.2 cm;
• there is a built-in seat;
• excellent acrylic is used for manufacturing;
• the proprietary antibacterial coating is used.

When choosing a bathtub measuring 140x70 cm, you should pay attention to the model BelBagno BB101-140-70. Its height is 40 cm. As in previous cases, you will have to give up the hydromassage. You should not rely on an anti-slip coating either. But the drain here is slightly larger than that of previous devices - 5.5 cm.
