Sanitary and technical equipment: beauty and functionality

Still some three hundred years ago it was considered a bad form to wash more often than once a month, or even a year. Now, thanks to the famous Madame Pompadour, washing has become an obligatory ritual for every person.

What is plumbing?

The concept of sanitary and technical equipment contains everything that surrounds us every day from year to year: a water pipe, a gas stove, a bathroom, a toilet bowl. In addition, all materials used for carrying water, gas are also part of this term (pipes, bushings, adapters, folds, sinks, gas stove, shower, mixer, etc.).

What the bathroom looks like depends on the owners of the territory. Modern production can offer sanitary equipment for every taste. Colors, sizes, design can be chosen for anyone, even the most capricious buyer.

How is the bathroom equipment shared?

Types of sanitary equipment can be listed for a very long time. The main used in any bathroom are:

• bath;
• washbasin;
• Shower cabin;
• bidet;
• toilet;
• urinal.

The desire to see in his bathroom a lot of new ideas of engineering leads to the fact that many of year to year trying to improve in a small space at least something, changing the sanitary equipment, tiles for plastic or wallpaper.

In those apartments that survived the perestroika period and hid cast-iron baths in their bowels, the owners rush to replace this "outdated" accessory with a newer one. Bathrooms of different materials (acrylic, faience, marble, quarrel and steel) have many built-in functions that allow you to relax and unwind after a hard day's work.

Toilet bowls also got a new life thanks to innovations. Now the "white friend" can be placed not only on the floor, but also on the wall. Built-in and wall-mounted toilet bowls became a breakthrough in this area. Sanitary and technical equipment of this type greatly simplifies the care of the bathroom and creates an interesting, unique design.

An innovation was the appearance of a bidet in the bathroom. This device for intimate hygiene uses not so many people. Units become the owners of these accessories. But they become irreplaceable helpers.

Urinals, which are more common in public toilets, also remain unclaimed. Having received its place of honor in a spacious bathroom, such an adaptation would be appropriate in a bachelor apartment.

For twenty years, with small steps, the place in the bathroom is won by the shower booths. The variety of materials, shapes, sizes and additional functions is just off scale. And if the bathroom space allows, the owners try to install it even with a bath.

Dimensions and functions

Before repairing or replacing defective items, it is worthwhile to think carefully about the functionality and relevance of the selected accessories for the space available. After all, what looks great on the pictures of the magazine will not always be an ideal option for a small bathroom in the "Khrushchev".

Need to change the bath? But you are at a loss, what can I choose, maybe a shower? Talk to your family.

Very often after installing the latter comes the understanding that it is very difficult to return the bath back. Installing a pallet, changing the sewage system will require new capital investments.

Modern shower cabins are pleased with their functionality and a lot of additional details for a relaxing whirlpool, steam bath. But at the same time they occupy a large enough space. And if you clearly decided to change the bathroom for a shower, decide on the model. It can be:

• Monoblock;
• National team;
• Open.

Replace or repair?

During repair in any part of the house you have to face a difficult decision: replace or repair? If it's cosmetic trivia, then the question is solved quickly. But when it comes to old rusted pipes, it is often worth the cost of repairs.

Modern technologies allow you to make quick and, most importantly, inexpensive repairs with the help of available materials. Metal-plastic pipes are easy to install, easy to bend and connect using fittings. Thanks to this, the repair of sanitary equipment will take a few hours.

If it was decided to carry out repairs, then it is worth to contact a specialist who will help to accurately and correctly repair the hole in the pipe with a patch, twist the valve if it is leaking.

Newfangled design or classic?

Choosing sanitary equipment for the bathroom, think it through carefully. Thanks to innovation and industry, the market was filled with beautiful chrome parts: valves, cranes, towel dryers.

Each of them will look organically in any interior. The catch is only in what option the owner of the bathroom will like more. Chromed classic with clear lines, compact size or the usual cranes with ventilators, curved neck spouts.
