    Modern baths made ​​of cast iron foreign production become more sophisticated forms, they are equipped with beautiful and comfortable handles, and are of high quality enamel and have a coating that prevents sliding and, hence, prevents the fall. The best cast-iron bathtubs are manufactured in Spain and France. Fans soak in a fragrant foam and relax in the bath, of course, choose a cast iron bath, having a high heat capacity.

Acrylic bath is not only very convenient in terms of connecting the various mixers and all kinds of technical devices and accessories, but also has another big advantage: does not allow the bacteria to spread in the moist and warm environment.

   If your bathroom is small, and you are comfortable with the possibility to luxuriate in a warm foam, it may be worth thinking about installing a modern and comfortable shower. Shower stalls have appeared on our market not so long ago, but due to its advantages have become quite popular. Shower stalls take up little space, are stylish and beautiful, hygienic, cost-effective (reducing water consumption), and also have various options: standard shower, and hydrosaunas gidrodush.

   Choosing faucets for the bath or sink need to remember that they do not only practical function (mixed hot and cold water), but are home furnishings that decorate the bathroom. Today's faucets are a variety of designs and design registration. However, we should not forget that failure is a common thing mixer, and delivers the owners a lot of trouble. Therefore, when choosing a faucet is worth paying attention to its reliability and the ability to self-repair. At present, the most common are two kinds of taps - single lever and dvuhventilnye.

    Single-lever mixers are very easy to use. They are fast, with one motion turned on and off valve and the water temperature and the power of the jet are adjusted automatically and does not change when you turn on or turn off the faucet. In dvuhventilnyh mixer temperature is controlled by two vents - hot and cold water. These valves are traditional, familiar to all, and quite popular among the majority population. Dvuhventilnye faucets repaired more easily than single-lever.

    Bath faucets are distinguished by designer execution in several species. The main difference is the different holders for a shower. Today more and more widespread faucets with electronic controls. Such devices will automatically begin to supply water if the person brings to a mixer or a hand comes into the shower. Mixers are made mostly of brass, but in order to decorate them or sustain a certain design style, they are covered with decorative materials.

    Modern design ideas are not left to one side sinks. Many forms, from round to cubic, from ordinary bowls to marble countertops - defies the imagination of the consumer. However, the diversity of basins combined into several groups according to type and method of mounting the installation.

    Installation can be on the stands, pedestals, the pedestals, as well as on the shelves, which are fastened to the wall, and on the brackets. In brackets are mounted conventional shells, long familiar to us. If the sink is mounted on brackets, the siphon and drain the whole system is in sight. Washbasin with pedestal (tulip) makes it possible to hide the trap and all the water pipes, making the bathroom comfortable and beautiful. Today, almost everyone who makes sankeramiku, produce sinks with pedestals, are in high demand.

     There is another, quite a practical way to install sink - on the hanging shelf. Polk plays the role of the bracket, taking the full load, it can be arranged at the various toiletries, and if you make a two-level shelf, it not only closes the drain system, but also can be used to store cleaning products and detergents, towels and various toiletries . Place in the gap between ordinary shells and shells with a pedestal, with the cover in occupied shells.

    This sink can be set only when the drainage system is embedded in the wall of the bathroom and drain outlet is located exactly at the desired height. This method of fixing completely closes the siphon, which, of course, makes the bathroom more beautiful. Typically, the bathroom sink manufacturers are available in 2 versions.

   In the first case a hole is provided, which is installed in the mixer. In the second case any openings available.

    The first option is designed for standard bathrooms, which provides a faucet and sink, and bathtub. Well, if you install a separate bath and separate washbasin faucet, it is better to buy the second version - without the holes. If the design of your bathroom sink fit a glass, then choose a mat, and then the bathroom will be very spectacular, but if you no longer fit the stone, the bowl is not only beautiful but also practical. Since we are changing the plumbing is not very often, and meet with her ​​constantly, then when you buy faucets, bathtubs and sinks should carefully consider the entire design of the bathroom.

   It must be remembered that the placement of sanitary equipment, tied to the location of the risers and pipework with hot and cold water. Typical apartments, which are mainly built up recently, a bathroom and a toilet a small area.

   To increase the space somehow, a bathroom combined with the toilet. Despite the fact that this solution is not always easy, in some cases it may be optimal.

    Modern plumbing makes it possible to place the sink and toilet on the common wall, but from different sides. First, it saves space, and, secondly, creates a zoning bathrooms. Partition, even transparent, can be divided into the sink and bathtub or shower and sink, creating a kind of zone. The advantage of partitioning is also the fact that it is possible to hide all the pipes pass. Sharing space can also be a variety of cabinets, screens or with the original lighting solutions. Good opportunities offered by the angular solutions. If in the corner to set the washing machine and above it a small corner box, then a seat you can put any of the fittings.

    In order to always have on hand a warm towel, do not forget about such necessary things like a towel. Their choice is very varied. The shape of polptentsesushiteli are serpentine, a ladder, spring, horseshoe, and on the basis of the work - water, power, combined. Towel, usually made ​​of stainless steel, chrome-plated or covered with paint. Towel warmers are an essential component to create the bathroom of a normal microclimate.

    LIGHT

   The role of lighting in the bathroom is huge. Today's designers believe that the bathroom should be one of the lighted room in our house. Before installing the lighting fixtures in the bathroom, you need to consider not only their location, which should highlight the selected design space.

   Need to carefully pick up light sources, taking into account factors such as humidity, high temperatures, harmful fumes allocated detergents. Choose need lamps, which are resistant to temperature and corrosion normally carry moisture and at the same time maintain the necessary brightness. Such qualities have halogen lights, more distinguished, and low power consumption. If you have a ceiling, there is nothing easier to integrate into the right amount of lighting. You can make the backlight itself bath or install some decorative fixtures, stressing that the intimate nature of the bathroom. It is also necessary to create an interior cell lights are used to turn to any side, change color and light intensity.

   Such lamps, having a high technical specification, will help to simulate the desired lighting effect in a small bathroom.
