EM and ZHO (rest rooms)

[Chamomile]

Chamomile, so I also regret that I did not take a domestic bath.

I also have a Soviet cast iron 18 years old, like new. But I didn't want her, I wanted a shower. But my husband insisted on a bath, although they still wash in the shower.

wanted a shower. But my husband insisted on a bath

I have a similar situation now.

The husband, however, does not insist, but he wants a bath, I - for the cabin !!!

If there is room, then you can have a bath and a booth, I would do that, but ... And about the bath, so you can read in it, and flip through the tablet, look at it, and live something, and something else, but in the booth, something like, or, for example, turn the faucet with your feet, then the thrill ! So by the way, I'm also a husband, and my wife wants a booth

And about the bath, so you can read in it, and flip through the tablet, look at it, and live something, and something else, but in the booth, something like, or, for example, turn the faucet with your feet, then the thrill !

So now you can sit in the booth and read, also listen to the radio, if the basin is deep, then steam the legs. There are booths with lighting and hydromassage and an overhead shower, you can also have steam. The only thing is that you will hardly be able to turn the crane with your feet, and so everything is there. Any sizes and shapes to your taste.
Relatives set themselves a rectangular shower cubicle with a deep "basin", because of a small child, so that he could play there. Thanks to this, a full-size washing machine got into the combined bathroom.
Nobody remembered something about a wall-hung toilet. I love. It is much more convenient to clean with it, it saves space, in the niche above it you can make shelves or a small cabinet.

The cabin doesn't suit me. I don't fit in it. And if you put a big one, then it will take almost the same place and meaning? And these doors, horror. Sister and niece toil strongly. And I have a curtain, removed, washed, tired, bought a new one.
I dream of converting a drain to the floor, now I live on the ground floor, technical requirements allow. So that there is no side or it is very low. Well, do not limit the space, leave the size of the same bath. But, I can't do it yet, it's expensive.

Galya, hello! Why didn't they remember it? As we remember
My all tried to excuse himself, like we can't fit ... Aha, figurines! My son-in-law came (and he worked in the office for the installation of plumbing and electrics), looked and said that everything would fit and even the area would increase!
Only mine remains force persuade to continue the repair

Everyone who does not have a booth, dream about it, whoever has it, wants to take it down nafig. It is very difficult to care for it, permanent limescale on the glass. Even on white it is tolerable, then on dark - tin. Continuously with a steam generator and after each shower, you need to wipe it so that there are no smudges. And the inner guides for glass are with ear sticks, a brush and chemicals. At the dacha, she demolished an Italian one, made a pallet of ceramic tiles and laid even warm floors inside, the water dries up, the legs are warm and there is more air. Tile maintenance is much easier! and the curtain, change as much as you want, always a neat look.
In the city, I also want to demolish the cabin, there is a major overhaul in the house, there will be a reason. And I will do exactly the same, despite the top floor. It is necessary to properly lay the waterproofing.
From this chemistry for the care of shower cabins, there are only health problems.

I have a bath and a shower in the city. For twelve years in the bath we washed once, when the battery in the shower stall died, and we did not know how to replace it. My sister taught me: there is always such a rubber thing in the booth, which drives the water away when washing the windows. Here, after a shower, in theory, everyone should wipe the walls with it. Then there will be no raid. And it's even better to buy a cab with matte walls. And at the dacha I was very tormented with bloom, but now there are all sorts of filters for cold water. And that's it, the plaque disappeared. And to lie in the bath - br ... and there is no time, as a rule, and the attitude towards washing in "dirty", not running water has already changed. A bath is only needed if there is a child in the house. But this is my subjective opinion

I have both a bath and a shower in the city

If space permits, then yes. If not, then I'm definitely in favor of the bath.

I am also for the bath! This is a relaxing ritual, even if not every day, but if possible, then with pleasure. The shower is invigorating, and the bath is a whole sacred rite with aromatic oils and salts.
Ideal when there is both.
And by the reason of cleanliness, your bath is cleaner,
than pools and seas - oceans

Guys, who understands anything about toilet bowls ??? I'm looking, looking and I just can't figure it out _{maybe just stupid me} I have plans to renovate, I don’t want to globally rebuild everything in terms of the size of the niche that I already have, but I want to replace the classic toilet with an attached one with a concealed cistern .. And my niche is 100cm high. I can't understand Nika, does this buried tank need a frame or not ?? In the hinged one there it is clear, the toilet is attached to the frame and rests on it .. And here it is on the floor, what for is the frame ??? In the videos that demonstrate the installation, it seems like the tank is attached directly to the wall, but in the descriptions it says, "the frame must be selected separately" .. Dead end ...

[Aunt Besya]

Aunt Besya, Elena, I saw your cry, but I am not competent in this matter. It would be easier for me to go to the store and there from the boy-girl-consultants to get detailed advice on this interesting toilet-barrel topic.

[Aunt Besya]

Aunt Besya, because there is a specialized forum of plumbers, there are definitely all plumbers and no one better than them will answer your request.

At the dacha, she demolished the Italian one, made a pallet of ceramic tiles and laid even warm floors inside, the water dries up, the legs are warm and there is more air. Tile maintenance is much easier! and the curtain, change as much as you want, always a neat look.

I also threw out the bathtub, because with my aching legs there was a problem getting in and out of this bathtub. The son was afraid that I might fall. The shower stall did not suit me, as I was suffocating in it. I did not like to close the opening with a curtain, since it strove to stick to a wet body with an awkward movement, which is unpleasant. I had to invent options.
They also made a pallet of ceramic tiles + warm floor, instead of a curtain, they laid out a small wall of glass blocks transparent to the height of the maximum rise of the shower hose (not to the ceiling), there was a passage of 60 cm, I assumed that I would hang it with a curtain, but they did not hang it, no necessary, the spray does not reach there. The result is a very functional, convenient and good looking option. The wall made of transparent glass blocks is easy to clean (just like tiles) and even somehow decorates the bathroom.

Girls, did you make a warm floor in the pallet itself? Where do you wash? Or just the bathroom, where is the sink?

[Chamomile]

Chamomile, Olga, in my very pallet and in the bathroom too. It is very convenient, the water in the pan dries out and there is no dampness. And the legs are always warm.

[Lyi]

Lyi, but please show me another photo of your shower room, if possible, it is very important to us.

Yeah ... everything is new - well FORGOTTEN old.I remember such glass walls in showers, toilets and even in some foyers. But it is convenient, and fenced off, and light, and the water does not spill over the sea.

[Olga]

Girls, did you make a warm floor in the pallet itself? Where do you wash? Or just the bathroom, where is the sink?

Olga, I have a warm floor throughout the house, which I am incredibly happy about. We threw away the batteries, and heating (I have water) only from a warm floor is much better than from batteries. With our warm winter, that's great. Moreover, now I turned off the heating throughout the house, but left it in the bathroom (floor and a coil for drying towels), which is very convenient.
We carried out all the alterations in the bathroom simultaneously with the installation of the warm floor, so the entire installation and protection of the floor from leaks is inside under the tiles, there is nothing to photograph. I have a flat floor on top. The shower room itself is separated from the common floor of the bathroom by a sill 10 cm high, on which there is a wall of glass blocks.

please show me another photo of your shower room,

Tatyana, tried to take a photo. Now I'm sick, there was no one to wash off the plaque on the tiles after a shower.

This is the rest of the bathroom

Lyi, bravo! I am in complete admiration for both the audacity of the design and the practicality of the solution and the choice of the best and most durable materials for solving this problem. Made better than any praise! Without a doubt, your post with featured photos is the best post of the whole topic!

[Lyi]

LyiThank you so much for the informative photos!
Everything is very practical and aesthetically implemented!

showed her husband, he liked it too, but made an amendment to our climate and only electric floor heating ... we think

[Creamy]

Creamy, Thank you for your kind words. As the saying goes, if you want to live, you will not get so hot yet ... With my size and sore legs, this alteration was simply vital.

[eye]

eye, Tatyana, I can show the same version of a shower with a tile tray. The height of the side is the height of the brick, the inner dimension is 110 x 90. This is very convenient for a mother who is of age and for a husband with his height. : DThere was a cabin at this place, so there was no warm floor, they demolished it and laid it inside. I have a curtain, but the panels need to be washed

the tray is made with a slight slope to the drain hole so that the water does not stagnate, this is not noticeable.
Mom is very happy, she can easily put a chair for herself

[Jouravl]

Jouravl, Nadyush, thanks for the photo, it turned out great: beautiful and convenient!
And we all return to our slate 120 by 170 ...

Friends, we need an acrylic bathtub without hydromassage, lights and other frills. What firms and countries-producers would you advise to pay attention to?
