Don't buy a shower stall. Why it is worth abandoning a bulky cab and bath (advantages of a shower enclosure)

What is the difference and what are the advantages of a shower stall and shower enclosure? Let us examine the issue in detail, note all the positive and negative aspects.

A shower cubicle is a complex structure that includes walls, a tray, and a roof. There is also a mixer, a watering can and other elements.

The shower enclosure is a simple design consisting of 2 doors and glass walls. It costs less than a booth. In this option, the pallet must be laid out separately from the brick. It is possible to simply buy a ready-made pallet made of acrylic or cast iron. The advantage is that you can match any plumbing to the corner. You can choose a watering can, a mixer, make shelves, etc. It's like a constructor, you can choose everything to your taste.

If we talk about the service life, then according to numerous reviews on the Internet, the corners are much more durable than booths. Something is constantly breaking in the booths. My parents had a built-in radio. It worked for a month at first, and then it broke.

Such breakdowns often occur:

• deformation and cracks on the surface of the pallet,
• watering cans, mixer cease to function,
• rollers, hinges break quickly, doors jam,
• hydromassage nozzles are constantly clogged (filter installation required).

Cons of the booth also in the fact that it looks cumbersome and difficult to match with the interior. Takes up a lot of usable space. The only one plus booths - its installation. You just need to install, connect to hot, cold water and sewerage. Whoever has uneven walls in the bathroom, the booth will hide them.

Compared to a bathtub and a stall, the shower enclosure has the following advantages:

1. Individual selection of plumbing fixtures,
2. More space inside
3. Looks easy, does not overload the space of the room,
4. Cheaper than a booth
5. Care is much easier than behind a booth,
6. There is no roof like a booth
7. It is not necessary to have a water filter,
8. Suitable for any interior.

The only problem (but this can be an advantage) - installation of a shower enclosure. It will take more time. Pay special attention to the pallet. If you want to save money, then it is better to lay it out of bricks and refine it with tiles. If you have money and do not want to waste time, then your option is to buy a ready-made pallet (acrylic or cast iron). Another disadvantage: taking only a shower. In the shower cubicle, hydromassage, Turkish bath.

Both options take place. It all depends on preferences. My personal choice is a shower enclosure (more comfortable, more modern and more durable).
