Which bath works best with a screen?

A bathtub screen is a functional addition to any bath, making the bathroom comfortable to use. It was created for those who wish to have both a shower and a bath in one. This unique solution is ideal for both small and larger bathrooms. So, which bath is the best? The truth is, a bathtub screen fits almost every type of bath. Discover which bath to choose and which screen to match it with.

Which bath is best for your bathroom?

If you want to have a bath with a screen, you need to start by choosing a bath. Nowadays, many models of various shapes and sizes are available, allowing for the creation of a truly cohesive and unique arrangement. Let's start with the fact that baths are made from steel, acrylic, cast iron, or composite. In Polish bathrooms, acrylic baths are the most common. The advantages of an acrylic bath are easy maintenance and affordable price.

And which bath model to choose? It all depends on how large your bathroom is, because the dimensions of the bath and the type of bath should fit the size of the room. There are three bath models: rectangular bath, corner bath, freestanding bath. Corner baths are available in two versions - asymmetrical baths and symmetrical baths. In addition, it is also worth paying attention to the depth of the bath.

In a small bathroom, corner models and small rectangular baths will work well. And if space is limited and you're annoyed by constantly cleaning a splashed floor, you can easily install a screen. A bath with a bathtub screen is a convenient and multifunctional solution that your whole family will be happy with. On the other hand, for larger bathrooms, a freestanding bath is intended, which can be placed in the middle of the room. A freestanding bath, an oval bath, and asymmetrical models are not ideal baths when it comes to installing a screen.

Bathtub Screen - What You Need to Know?

To choose the right screen, pay attention to a few details. Primarily the material it is made from, the method of opening, dimensions, and whether it will fit the bath you have. Standard screen models range from 70-180 cm in width and 140-200 cm in height, and these will be suitable for standard baths.

Types of Bathtub Screens

In stores, you will find a huge selection of screens for installation on the bath, which allows for quick and easy adjustment to your bathroom's requirements. Screens can be made from plastic, safety glass, or tempered glass. Both glass screens and those made of plastic can have different finishes, e.g., matte or in brown or graphite color. Therefore, this finishing element can have a significant impact on the bathroom's décor. Here are the types of bathtub screens according to the type of opening:

• Hinged screen - these models are not permanently connected to the bath. Only one edge of this screen is mounted to the wall. They can open at a 90 or 180-degree angle. A hinged screen fits rectangular baths.
• Folding screen - this bathtub screen consists of two or several wings that can be folded in different directions. Its installation is very easy. These bathtub screens will work for various types of baths including corner baths.
• Sliding screen - this screen is the most similar to doors used in shower cabins. Ideal for any kind of bath, but works best for a bath with straight edges.
• Permanently mounted screen.

Corner Baths in a Small Bathroom with a Bathtub Screen

If you decide to install a screen, the best choice would be a rectangular bath or a corner bath. Placed in the corner of the bathroom, it provides an excellent base for creating an extremely functional 2-in-1 solution, namely a shower and bath. Such solutions are welcome in small bathrooms, where space saving is very crucial. A bathtub screen will allow you to easily and quickly transform a corner or rectangular bath into a shower area.

Often in the case of small bathrooms, the installation of a bath is abandoned. Owners of such spaces often complain about the lack of free space and choose a shower cabin. However, it is worth reconsidering the arrangement and checking if a small bath fits into the room's layout. Then you can opt for a bathtub screen, which will allow you to easily and quickly transform a corner or rectangular bath into a shower area.
