When renovating a bathroom, everyone strives to equip the room with maximum comfort. An important element of the room is the bath. At the same time, many are faced with a problem caused by the limited space of the room, because plumbing should not clutter up the entire space.

This can be dealt with using an acrylic bathtub. Due to the flexibility of the material, plumbing fixtures can be of any shape and size. And yet, what size tank should be installed in the room so that there is enough space and at the same time it is convenient to use the bath? Let's look into this issue.

The shapes and dimensions of acrylic bathtubs are strikingly diverse. The plumbing market offers baths of various geometries: round, oval, rectangular, hexagonal, and elliptical. This allows you to choose the right option for any room. At the same time, plumbing has not only different shapes, but also sizes.

Thus, baths of standard shapes have the following dimensions:

• length - 1400, 1500, 1600, 1800 mm;
• width - 700, 800, 850 mm;
• height - 650 mm.

In addition, the dimensions are strictly regulated by GOST. According to it, the length of the product should be from 1200 to 1800 mm, width - from 700 to 1600 mm.

Before the advent of acrylic tanks, bowl choices were limited to cast iron products.Such bathtubs do not differ in a variety of sizes, because cast iron bathtubs are quite heavy. But with the advent of acrylic, it became possible to choose plumbing fixtures of any size. So, the following options are available on the market:

1. Miniature baths with dimensions 1500x1200x700 mm.
2. Large baths, similar to mini-pools, with dimensions from 1800x1200x700 mm and more.
3. Corner models can be of different sizes: 1400x900, 1400x1400, 1600x1200, 1700x1000 and others.

Basic dimensional requirements when installing acrylic bathtubs

For example, if the room is small, the best option would be a tank measuring 1400x700 or 1500x700 mm. For a larger bowl, such as 1200x1800, you will need a larger room.

It is also worth considering the geometry of the bathroom:

• if the room is rectangular, give preference to models that can be mounted against the wall;
• for a square room it is better to choose corner options - they are in great demand because they clutter the room less.

At the same time, the corner baths are quite spacious. So, in a small room you can install a tank 1500 mm long and 1900 mm wide.

The choice of tank size is also influenced by additional plumbing functions and the location of other interior elements: sink, shelves, washing machine and others.

Do not forget about the preferences and body features of household members. Unlike a shower, a bath is taken not only for hygiene purposes. The bath allows you to relax, relieve tension, and relax your body and soul.

How to choose the best bathtub size

Many people try not to complicate the selection process and purchase standard baths. But if you want to make the room original and take a bath as comfortable as possible, then you should choose plumbing fixtures taking into account specific parameters.

Optimal selection criteria:

1. Room dimensions. Nowadays, not only baths are installed in bathrooms, but also a washing machine, as well as other plumbing fixtures: a toilet, a sink. The bath should not occupy all the free space, depriving you of free access to other elements of the room. Therefore, before purchasing a tank, decide on useful space through which you can move freely.
2. Depth. If you have children, you need to remember safety. Therefore, the optimal depth should not exceed 600 mm. This way the child's head will not submerge in the water.
3. Width. The indicator depends on the size of the household. The best option is to place your palm between the shoulders and the walls of the tank.
4. Length. When installing plumbing fixtures along the wall, you need to choose the correct dimensions of the product. The gap between the bowl and the wall should not exceed 5 cm. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to ensure good waterproofing.

The modern plumbing market allows you to create an original bathroom design that will delight your loved ones and surprise your friends. The choice of plumbing depends only on your wishes and imagination. Manufacturers are able to satisfy any needs.
