Sitz bath dimensions

A sit-down bathtub is most in demand in small apartments with small bathrooms. Which model should I choose? What standard sizes does our industry produce? We'll talk about this below.

Hip bath for small bathrooms

In the modern plumbing market there is a wide selection of such products of different sizes and shapes, made of metal and high-strength plastic. Here you can easily find something that suits your home interior.

Of course, going to the store will cost you a lot, so be especially careful about this purchase:

• decide on the location of its installation in your bathroom;
• make sure that the model you like suits all family members;
• think over the color scheme of the bowl itself in accordance with the interior solutions of all rooms.

Important! Products of compact sizes have a maximum length of no more than one meter. Their acquisition is usually caused by two reasons: the recommendation of doctors and lack of space.

Routine preventative and curative medical procedures are done in a sitting position. In addition, small baths help reduce water consumption.

Sitz bath options

Plumbing specialists classify hip-type bathtubs according to a number of criteria:

• form;
• dimensions;
• material of manufacture;
• functionality and additional devices.

Many people believe that this type of plumbing is only suitable for the elderly and disabled. Modern designers have long refuted this misconception. These products look great in any stylish interior, providing complete comfort to both adults and children.

Standard bath sizes

Standard “sessile” specimens have a minimum width of 0.7 meters, while these compact specimens do not exceed 1 meter in length. Specialized retail outlets offer various types of such bathtubs in an assortment of sizes. The most common:

• 1 m × 0.7 m;
• 1.2 m × 0.7 m;
• 1.5 m × 0.7 m;
• 1.2 m × 1.1 m.

It also happens that not everyone living in a “Khrushchev” fits the “mini” or “standard” parameters. Then it is better to buy a fourth, more spacious option, which will provide comfortable conditions for everyone.

When giving preference to steel and cast iron bathtubs, it is necessary to take into account their standards:

• regular size – 1 m 20 cm × 1 m 10 cm;
• “compact” – 1 m × 0.7 m;
• “standard” – 1 m 20 cm × 0.7 m; 1 m 50 cm × 0.7 m.

In acrylic design, the most common are: square with side lengths of 1.2 m, 1.4 m or 1.5 m.

Additional functions

There are varieties of sitz bathtubs with a variety of additional features. This makes them even more comfortable and convenient.

Among these devices:

• a movable wall with a door that is closed at the entrance and opened after draining the water (this is especially important for people with diseases of the musculoskeletal system);
• hydromassage system for complete relaxation;
• built-in air massage equipment to improve well-being;
• lamps for decorative and special purposes for non-traditional forms of light and phototherapy;
• equipping with modern receivers or players to enjoy your favorite music tracks during water procedures and relax the nervous system;
• quick conversion into a shower cabin using protective curtains or special inserts to prevent moisture from splashing into the room.

It is impossible to imagine small bathrooms without sit-down bathtubs.

Important! They are convenient for all family members, and especially for the elderly and disabled.

The main thing is to choose the right model that suits you, and it will become a stylish decoration of your interior.
