Choosing the right bath panel seems like a simple task. We purchase a specific model of sanitary equipment, and then decide on the panel intended for it or call a specialist. However, before this happens, it is worthwhile to consider your own needs and the final effect you would like to achieve. This way, we will choose a solution that meets our expectations.
What is the best way to enclose a bath?
There are various ways to enclose a bath. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. There is no clear answer as to which method is the best. It depends on the expectations and needs of the customer, as well as the amount of available space and bathroom design. One of the solutions is a polystyrene panel. It works well for finishing with ceramic tiles or waterproof decorative plaster. This is an ideal solution for an enamelled bath because it prevents the water from cooling down and reduces the noise of flowing water. The polystyrene panel is characterised by easy installation - it is glued to the floor, and then the bath is set inside it. However, it is worth checking in advance whether the manufacturer offers this type of product. Another way to enclose a bath is by using plasterboard. The panel in this case is mounted on a frame with well-reinforced metal profiles. The whole thing is then covered with tiles, mosaic or another material. For simple baths, it is worth considering a brick wall made of aerated concrete or silicate blocks, which can be finished with plaster or ceramic tiles, or left in its raw form. However, it should be remembered to impregnate the wall surface. Another method of enclosing a bath is the choice of stone, which guarantees high durability of the structure and its extremely aesthetic appearance. It allows for almost unlimited design possibilities. By deciding on a marble enclosure, we provide a unique and exclusive design in the bathroom. However, in this case, it is worth taking special care in using the bath and properly maintaining the surface of the panel, using impregnator and selected cleaning agents. The choice of a ready-made bath cover is the most versatile solution intended for specific bath models or with the possibility of fitting different types. They allow for simple installation without specialised knowledge and easy removal in the event of a fault or replacement of individual components inside. The panel is mounted directly to the edge of the bath and the wall, without the need for any additional finish.
What to consider when choosing a bath panel?
When deciding on one of the ready-made solutions to enclose a bath, it is important to pay attention to several key features. When choosing not only the panel itself but also the sanitary equipment, it is worth considering what our expectations are for the final effect. First of all, the size and shape adapted to the design possibilities of the bathroom and the style of the remaining equipment will be of great importance. This way, we will not only ensure a comfortable amount of space but also a perfect room decor. The material of manufacture is another factor we should guide ourselves by when choosing both the bath and the panel. Choosing the right model not only ensures durability and an aesthetic appearance for many years of use but also significantly affects the maintenance of warm water temperature in the bath and ease of cleaning. It is also important to consider when choosing a panel the possibility of installing hydromassage, the amount of space for cosmetics or potentially installing an additional shelf, ease of assembly and disassembly in case of breakdown or renovation, and many other such factors tailored to the demand.
Stylish bathroom appearance
The right bath panel has a huge impact on the overall bathroom design. There is a large number of various solutions on the market. Acrylic panels or those made of special plastic are a classic choice, characterised by great aesthetics in their final effect. By choosing perfectly tailored parts for a specific bath model and precise installation to the wall, the whole looks perfect in any bathroom. Most often, panels are available in a classic white version, although many manufacturers also offer many other shades. Currently, a very common solution is also the use of a polystyrene panel in combination with various materials such as wood or board. This makes it much easier to match the right product to any room decor.
