10 best firms showers

A shower cabin is not only a good alternative to a bathtub, which is not always possible to install in a small bathroom due to its considerable size, but also often a great way to turn everyday hygiene procedures into entertainment. Indeed, unlike conventional bathtubs and boring individual pallets with a shower head, this is a functional technique that does not require a lot of manipulations before use, but offers a lot of additional possibilities.

Even the simplest budget showers are strikingly different from other types of plumbing with comfort, ease of installation, and useful little things like shelves or built-in seats. The best representatives of the premium class, in turn, can often be used not only for a banal shower, but also for hydromassage, relaxation in the style of a Turkish bath and various spa procedures, while performing entertainment functions. However, the high price does not always mean an abundance of add-ons, and in relatively inexpensive devices manufacturers sometimes on the contrary lay a number of advantages. In addition, each company has its own understanding of the optimal balance between price and capabilities, as well as the vision of the main tasks of this technology. Therefore, when choosing a shower cabin, it is recommended to take into account the specifics of the brand, as well as the following characteristics of their developments:

1. Type of cabin and features of its design. There are models of closed and open views. The first ones already have a ceiling, a pallet and all the walls, are hermetic, most functional, but mostly cost a little more. Open showers have no ceiling, and sometimes even part of the fence, which is why they are installed in the corner. At the same time, such corners are cheaper and often more compact than whole or full-grain models.
2. Pallet material. The value of this parameter is difficult to overestimate, because it is on the pallet that the main load falls. Fragile materials, such as ABS plastic or ceramic, can lead to premature replacement of the entire unit. At the same time, enameled steel or cast iron are prone to chipping, quickly lose their appearance and are not very convenient in operation. Therefore, it is recommended to give preference to showers with a tray made of acrylic or artificial marble.
3. The thickness of the front walls. The thicker the glass, the more tight and reliable the model.
4. Control method. On the cheapest showers most often there is no panel, but representatives of the middle segment can often boast of electronic and even touch controls.
5. Functional. The best models can be equipped not only with different types of hydromassage, special levels of protection, timer, ventilation and lighting, but also a radio, telephone and even a steam generator for the Finnish sauna or Turkish bath.

The distribution of seats took into account the following indicators of the quality and capabilities of showers of popular manufacturers:

• customer reviews;
• expert reviews;
• technical description of top development;
• won awards and titles.
