Screen under the bath - how to choose

For a long time, the hosts closed the space under the bath, using a special screen that successfully hides all pipes, plums and other communications. Such structures appeared on the market for about 10-15 years ago. Today, some baths can already be bought with screens that go with them in the kit and are suitable in appearance. In this article we will study such questions - which screens are and how to install them to use their functions to the maximum.

1
The screen is made from different materials. Plasterboard, plastic, MDF, acrylic, painted metal can be used. The most popular material, taking into account the environment of the bathroom - high humidity, is considered plastic, since it is not affected by the influence of moisture, biologically neutral, does not absorb pollution, it is perfectly clean, and is also strong enough. In addition, products from MDF are popular, despite the fact that this material seems to be at first glance, it is not suitable for premises with excessive levels of humidity. In the process of production, the screen is covered with a special composition, which is inherent in moisture-repellent properties.

When choosing a screen design, follow the room features. If the bathroom is spacious, you can put a removable screen with shelves on its face surface. For a small bathroom, choose the most functional sliding model. When choosing a deaf screen, think well, since in any case it will be impractical.

The easiest and most democratic option to reorganize the space under the bathroom is to set the design that is equipped with spacers or legs. They rest in the side of the bath and the floor when adjusting height. The screen of the screen is a deaf or lattice, uncomplicated design. To use the place behind the screen it will have to be removed each time.

The sliding option is considered the most convenient: guides are fixed on the metal frame, the doors move along it. Such a screen is suitable if you need to actively use the space under the bathroom, for example, to store clean agents there, powders and other things. However, such products are expensive, as special quality does not differ and are quite harvester. Installation occurs by splitting between the floor and the bottom of the bath, which often causes the need to reinstall it. In addition, often the screen easily flies from the guides during use.

Sliding design with shelves, consumer reviews, most convenient. Giving preference to the screen with shelves, which is equipped, except the doors, the back wall, you get a full-fledged shallow locker for household needs. It is convenient to store household chemicals, detergents, sponges, brushes, gloves. If you wish, you can equip the retractable pallets for small things. But remember that due to the presence of the back wall, access to the communications under the bathroom is complicated.

Removable inspireless screens are often installed under acrylic baths. They are made of acrylic or plastic. However, the installation process and dismantling, if necessary, to access communications is not as easy as in the case of sliding structures. Therefore, it is advisable to store under the bathroom only almost unnecessary things.

The stationary screen is made individually, such a model in the store will not delete. Access to space provides either full, or partial. Design doors can be moved or swing, fold or removed.

Different screens and depending on their finishes. If the room is small, it will be great to look a mirror screen that will help you visually enlarge the room. The classic is the screen from the tile, especially when the whole bath is lined with this material. A good choice will be a mosaic that opens the space for creativity and looks great, although this is not a cheap option. Sometimes the owners even make brickwork, giving preference to durability.

When buying a bath screen, you need to pay attention to the accessories - handles on the door for convenience of opening, adjustable legs to fit the design under the sizes of the bath.
