Comparison Ravak Vanda II 170x70 cm vs Ravak Classic 170x70 cm

The working volume of the bath is usually indicated by the amount of water that can be poured to the level of overflow.

In general, the larger the volume - the, as a rule, the more comfortable the bath, the higher the likelihood that it will be able to lie down or even dive into the water almost entirely, up to the neck. However, it should be borne in mind that models of the same volume can differ markedly in size and shape (both external and internal). This means that large capacity does not yet guarantee convenience for a particular user. In addition, filling the volume bath will take more time and require more water, which can be critical if there are meters or limited water supply (for example, hot water from the storage boiler).

Items included in the package

- Bathtube. The bath itself is a container into which the water is poured. Included in any set by definition.

— Legs. In this case, a device for mounting the bath on the floor; it can be both classic legs and a special frame. In any case, to buy a product with such a device in the kit is often easier and cheaper than to choose equipment for installation separately.

— Side panel. Vertical decorative panel covering the bathroom from the outside - from the top edge to the floor. Such a panel gives the product an aesthetic appearance, and also covers the space under the bathroom - from dirt and from getting there various items that would be uncomfortable to get. Note that there are often several side panels - to cover all sides of the bath, not adjacent to the walls of the room.

— Tap. The mixer in the kit is convenient in that it is optimal for the bath in size and design. This, in turn, saves the trouble of finding and selecting the right model.

— Handles. Handles installed on the sides are very useful when entering and leaving the bathroom - lie down and get up, holding the handle, much safer than without it. This function is especially desirable if the bathroom is used by older people, or those who have specific health problems (leg diseases, spine, etc.)....

— Hand shower (shower head). Shower set - usually in the form of a watering can, flexible hose and «seat» under them - mounted directly on the bath. The availability of such a kit obviates the need to purchase it separately.

— Siphon. Curved drain pipe, which is required to connect the bath to the sewer. The availability of such a pipe in the delivery kit will save you the need to pick up and purchase a siphon separately.

— Headrest. A device on which the head can rest sitting or lying in the bathroom. The headrest relaxes the neck and makes bathing more comfortable.

— Armrests. The armrests provide support for the hands of the person sitting or lying in the bathroom, increasing comfort while staying in the bathroom. Note that they are rarely performed in the form of separate devices - most often the role of armrests are special protrusions on the inside surface of the bath.

Size of the bath in length, width and height. When choosing, it should be borne in mind that the length and width are specified on the outer dimensions - this allows you to estimate the place required for the installation of the bath, but its internal dimensions are inevitably obtained less. But as a height it is customary to indicate the depth - the distance from the top edge to the bottom. Here we note that the high altitude allows you to dive deeper into the water, but may cause some people (for example, elderly or suffering from leg diseases) problems when entering the bath.

The depth of the bowl, measured from the sides of the bath to the bottom of the inner space. This can vary widely, ranging from about 30 to 65 cm in increments of 5 cm. Usually is located in the area of 40-45 cm. For bathing in deeper products may need a special podium, step or highchair, which will help to cross the high side of the bath.
