When renovating a bathroom, try not to let go of the measuring ruler. Accurate measurements make it possible to most rationally arrange plumbing, outline the future location of the necessary cabinets and shelves. In addition, you will know what indicators to focus on when choosing furniture and equipment so as not to waste money.
For example, even though the standard bathtub height from the floor is 60 centimeters, you can find models 150 centimeters by 70 or 180 centimeters by 80 on sale. Therefore, before buying, you need to measure everything well again.
So why is there such a disparity in size? The reason lies in small deviations, which are quite acceptable. Manufacturers, releasing certain designs, may slightly deviate from strict requirements. In addition, there are special models that are focused on the elderly, with disabilities. Children's options may be generally lower than the usual 60 centimeters.
How to determine what height of the bath from the floor will be comfortable for you? First of all, ask yourself if you have elderly people, small children in your family. Maybe you yourself (or someone close to you) does not differ in height? Now imagine what it will be like for them to climb into a structure that is not suitable for them every day. Here, based on considerations of general comfort, the optimal height of the bathtub from the floor is selected. Other factors, such as the scale of the bathroom, do not play a big role.
So, we take measurements with a tape measure, carefully read the dimensions of a particular product indicated on the package (in the instructions). What else do we pay attention to? When buying fashionable rounded models with decorative legs, check with the consultant whether the dimensions of the legs are taken into account in the overall product indicators. In imported samples, sometimes the accompanying documents show the height of the bathtub from the floor without legs. In such cases, you need to make some adjustments to your calculations.
In a way, the material of the sanitary ware is also important. Thus, light steel structures are usually supplied with height-adjustable legs. But heavy cast-iron models are placed on supports rigidly fixed to the body. Just the weight of such products does not allow the use of screw transformation mechanisms. The design of acrylic samples is similar to their steel counterparts.
What if you are not satisfied with the presented products? The height of the bathtub from the floor can be adjusted. In these cases, you either purchase a model with specialscrew legs-supports, they are twisted in the process to the level you need. Or you are left with the second option. He's more difficult. You will have to raise the floor, and this is already a more costly undertaking. In any case, all these manipulations are thought out in advance, before you make the final decoration of the room.
And don't make a common beginner's mistake, don't confuse two different indicators: the height of the bathtub from the floor is not the same as its depth. The first is measured by measuring the plane of the product from the outside. The starting point is at floor level, and the end point is the edge of the side. Depth is measured on the inside, from the edge of the bathtub to its bottom.
