How is the optimum bath height calculated from the floor?

While doing repairs to the bathroom, try not to let go of the measuring ruler. Accurate measurements make it possible to locate plumbing most rationally, to outline the future location of the necessary lockers and shelves. In addition, you will know what indicators to focus on when choosing furniture and equipment, so as not to spend money for nothing.

For example, even though the standard height of the bath from the floor is 60 centimeters, 150 centimeters for 70 or 180 centimeters for 80 can be found on sale. Therefore, before you buy, you need to take a good look again.

So what is causing such a confusion in size? The reason lies in the small deviations, which are completely permissible. Manufacturers, issuing those or other designs, may slightly deviate from the stringent requirements. In addition, there are special models that are aimed at people of advanced age, with disabilities. Baby options may be generally below the usual 60 centimeters.

How to determine what height of the bath from the floor you will be comfortable? First of all, ask yourself if you have elderly people in your family, little children. Maybe you yourself (or someone from your loved ones) do not differ in growth? Now imagine, and what will it be for them every day to climb into an inappropriate design for them. That's based on considerations of comfort and the optimal height of the bath is selected from the floor. Other factors, for example, the scale of the bathroom, do not play a big role.

So, with tape measure we make measurements, carefully read out the dimensions of the specific product specified on the package (in the instructions). What else do we pay attention to? When buying fashionable rounded models on decorative legs, check with the consultant, and whether the overall dimensions of the product include the dimensions of the legs. In imported samples, sometimes the accompanying documents show the height of the bath from the floor without legs. In such cases, you need to make some adjustments to your calculations.

In some way, the material of the sanitary ware is also important. Thus, light steel structures are usually equipped with legs with adjustable height. But heavy cast-iron models are put on supports, rigidly fixed on the body. Just the weight of such products does not allow the use of screw mechanisms of transformation. The design of acrylic samples is similar to their steel "counterparts".

What if you are not satisfied with the presented products? The height of the bath from the floor can be adjusted. In these cases, you either purchase a model with special screw feet, support them in the process to the desired level. Or you still have the second option. It's harder. We'll have to lift the floor, and this is already a more costly exercise. In any case, all these manipulations are thought out in advance, before you make the final decoration of the room.

And do not admit the common mistake of newcomers, do not confuse two different indicators: the height of the bath from the floor is not the same as its depth. The first is measured by measuring the product plane from the outside. The starting point is at the floor level, and the end point is the edge edge. The depth is measured on the inside, from the edge of the side of the bath and to the bottom.
