泡澡或淋浴 – 哪种才是更好的选择？

A bathtub needs more space. If the bathtub is at least 150 cm long and 70 cm wide, then users can lie down in comfort. These dimensions can vary according to the model.

If the bathtub is also used for showering, a bathtub with shower zone is recommended. These have a vertical wall inclination on one side that allows users to stand upright when showering.

Installation is straightforward as less sealing is necessary compared to a floor-even shower.

The advantage: the bathtub can be used as both a shower and a bath.

Compared to a bathtub, a shower not only saves water but also space in small bathrooms.

A floor-even model such as Geberit Sestra is a good way of entering the shower area comfortably.

Shower or bathtub – what to look out for when planning the bathroom

In a well-planned bathroom, attention is primarily paid to aspects such as the optimal use of space, needs in terms of design and functions, and the available infrastructure (ventilation, lighting and sanitary installations).

In a rented apartment, the bathroom usually has different requirements compared to the fittings in a hotel room. How much space is available in the bathroom? Who is the bathroom being used by? Where have pipes already been laid? Last but not least, a realistic budget is also needed. Ask yourself whether your plans can be implemented with the budget available.

What is the best option for a rented apartment: bathtub or shower?

In a rented apartment with just one bathroom, a shower is usually the best solution. A shower needs less space, saves water and time, and barrier-free access is also possible. If a rented apartment has two wet units, then a shower is often installed in one room and a bathtub in the other.
