The choice of bath in a small bathroom in the panel Khrushchev

Please advise the longest possible bath in a small bathroom in a panel Khrushchev. According to the papers 2.2 square meters, according to measurements like 1.55x1.3, the door is in a short wall, not in the center. I would like to put a diagonal bath, preferably in a hydromassage. So that the length from side to side is at least 1.70. Thank.

Sergei.

Good day, Sergey!

Though advising you is ungrateful, especially when there is no data on what part of your budget you decided to devote to buying a bath, we will try to help with the choice and give some useful recommendations.

Firstly, asymmetric corner baths are best suited for this design and such a compact room. They are easy to install in any corner of the bathroom - manufacturers produce products for right and left mounting. In your case, you need a right-hand model, preferably with a concave front surface - this will provide free movement and visually increase the space. In addition, bathtubs of this configuration have a more elegant appearance, which is also important in such a small area.

The second thing I would like to draw your attention to is the material of manufacture. Of course, you can choose a stylish and pathos model made of cast marble or artificial granite, however, today there is no more practical option than a bathtub made of acrylic. Of course, the thickness of the sheet from which the container is formed should not be thinner than 5 mm, and the material itself must necessarily contain reinforcing layers - this directly affects the strength and durability. In addition, thin walls indicate the manufacturer’s desire to save, so there is no guarantee that this saving does not affect the quality and durability, reliability of components, etc.

Gradually, we came to the third factor, namely, which manufacturers can be trusted. And there are no secrets. First of all, these are European brands Jacob Delafon (France), BelBagno, Azzurra, Jacuzzi, Cezares (Italy), Riho (Holland), VitrA (Turkey), Relisan (Poland), Russian companies Aquatek and Santek, as well as the Chinese manufacturer Aquanet . Of course, the price of products made in Europe, ceteris paribus, will be higher than that of products made or China.

According to these criteria alone, you can easily choose the product you are interested in with a hydromassage system. We, in turn, recommend a closer look at the inexpensive Russian models of Aquatec Altair, Polish Relisan Ariadna or Estonian Balteco Luna. In the expensive segment, the choice is wider - it all depends on the thickness of your wallet.
