Planning any repairs is the key to success. If you provide in advance all the functions of the premises and options for its use, then you will have to make less adjustments, and making changes to the well -established designs is extremely difficult, especially when it comes to a bathroom where many engineering communications are installed and it is impossible to move plumbing without serious costs.
When people make apartments, they forget to take into account each other’s personalities and especially the age of each family member who lives in the house. Many forget about themselves. For example, when people at the age of 50 make repairs, they are able to take care of themselves at the age of 60 with the help of additional precautions or more convenient details. The bathroom is an important space where all these features are most important.
It is clear that it is more convenient for adults, children and older people to wash in different baths, but if you do not have a mansion with a large number of restrooms, you should choose a bath that will have several functions at once. Multifunctional baths differ from ordinary acrylic baths. Many types of plumbing seem strange and expensive to you, but if you look at them, you will understand what people pay for. For example, a wide bath with panels and holders is designed to make full people, as well as elderly people and people with limited mobility, it is convenient to lie in water and safely rise. Moving head restraints support the head and neck. Baths with special connectors for the seat (or even with a removable seat in the kit) are intended for older people who are hard to completely sit in the bath. There are special support for elbows, which, together with the headrests, can reduce the voltage on the neck and back. Anti -slip coatings are extremely important in a house with elderly relatives and young children. These all functions can be combined in one bath.
A similar situation is with a shower or showers. There are separate shower corners and showers, but preference has recently been given to large shower zones that are built manually. Such souls are convenient for various reasons. They can be equipped with all the desired details (handrails, seats, different types of shower sets, massages, etc. p.), but they are also more in size, even if they are installed on the same area as the shower cabin. In addition, a person in a wheelchair can calmly wash in a shower area, and you can also wash children’s strollers and large pets in it. But in our souls, do not forget about the same security measures that we talked about in the paragraph about the baths – handrails, anti -slip coatings, support, seats, etc. p.
If children or elderly people live in your family, make it possible to remove the shower watering can and use it as a hand soul. If you want a big shower (for example, a tropical shower), fixed on the ceiling or wall, then buy a hand shower in addition.
For apartments where many people live, it is better to install a shower with opaque walls and double shells. These things will help accelerate the processes of using the bathroom.
Many things in the bathroom can be redone for the needs of the family without additional repair. For example, if there is no anti -slip coating in the bath, then before taking a bath, an elderly person can put a special bath rug in it. A similar situation with the floor (you need to use rugs with a rubber base). For bathing children, special baths are bought, and if the child has grown to use a sink, which is still too high for him, parents can buy a special ladder-glass. However, many things should be thought out in advance when you make repairs. For example, older people and people with limited mobility are better to have shower shower in the house, so if the room does not allow the installation of two types of plumbing, then you should think about the soul instead of a bath.
Dear baths are not always better. They can be more convenient from a certain point of view, but when you choose plumbing for the needs of the family, it is important for you that the model is suitable, and not just pleased with pleasant functions.
The programmable temperature (mixers with thermostats) is very important for the elderly and babies who can scald themselves or jerk sharply due to a sharp ingress of too cold water on the skin.
The advantages of suspended shells, which are mounted on the wall, is that they can be installed at the desired height. This is important if a person with a stroller lives in the house.
There are a large number of toilets and means of their installation, which are suitable for a particular family in different cases. For example, there are toilets standing on the floor with a raised height, convenient for people who experience difficulties when bending the knees. But usually, to install the toilet to the desired height, an installation system and a suspended toilet are used.
