Views
- Deaf screen. It does not provide opportunities to look under the bath. This is a capital, one-piece design that has no door. Visually such a screen is good, but in terms of functionality it has one large nuance: the impossibility of repairing the sewer system. Indeed, in case of leakage or any other breakdown, it is impossible to get to the place of its occurrence. You have to twist the screen to get inside. And the most unpleasant lies in the fact that the breakdown can not be seen immediately. Water leakage will have time to spoil the interior of the bathroom and not only. The ceiling of neighbors living below will also be spoiled. You will have to fork out not only for repairs in your own apartment, but also compensate the detriment of the neighbors.
- Partially open. This type of screen is quite functional and safe. Shelves and niches, where can be placed by detergents or anything else, will become a rational solution for a small bathroom. The presence of the door provides unhindered access to the water supply and drain system.
- Sliding. You can create such a screen, but the process will be very complex. Moreover, the tile - the material is not quite suitable for it.
