The cumbersome and awkward first cast-iron baths were gradually transformed into containers of original shape and design. We do not make a choice of a bath so often, therefore we consider meticulously the white enamel and legs of this remarkable element of the bathroom interior.

Kinds of baths

Today, the cast-iron bath is gradually being replaced by more modern in design and simplicity of manufacture acrylic and steel bathtubs. Choosing a bath you need to understand their types. There are the following types of baths:
  • traditional cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Steel.

Cast-iron

Traditional cast-iron baths have become so popular that they are still in high demand. Such a sense of attachment is not the only advantage. The main advantages of cast iron baths are quality, strength and long service life. The cast-iron bath keeps heat for a long time and cools down too soon. The only drawback is the considerable weight of the baths. On average, the cast-iron bath weighs about 120 kg. However, such a weight ensures the stability of the bath, it does not depart from the wall tiled with tiles.

Models of modern cast-iron baths are completely rid of the shortcomings of the ancient models of the Soviet period. Moreover, they have a stylish European design and an original look, with clearly defined lines of sides. The sides of the baths are equipped with comfortable armrests with reliable handles made of stainless steel. Now the cast-iron bathtub for the bathroom is not just a container, but rather an ornament. The quality enamel coating has an attractive luster, but also requires careful and accurate care of the coating. When choosing a cast iron bath, you should pay attention to the integrity of the enamel coating, chips or scratches in this case are not allowed.


Steel

Steel baths can be considered an "economical" option. In addition to the democratic price of this type of bath, you can trace the economy literally in everything. This is a small thickness of the walls (up to 5 mm), a small weight of up to 30 kg. Juicy enamel coating also looks great on steel baths, as well as on cast iron.

The only drawback is the considerable heat transfer of the steel and the "musicality" of the container when water is being collected, when a jet rattles against the steel bottom. Therefore, choosing a steel bath, it will be necessary to take care of the rubber pads for sound absorption and warming of the case.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths appeared relatively recently, but the market began to conquer a decisive way. The obvious advantage ruthlessly threw away competitors - cast iron and steel structures. So what are the advantages of acrylic bathtubs and why does the new generation choose acrylic?
  The advantages of acrylic baths are the material of manufacture. Acrylic is an organic synthetic material, so the structure of the material will ensure the absence or appearance of unwanted plaque or water stone. In case of any scratches, the problem spot is poured with liquid acrylic and simply ground. But the acrylic bath keeps heat for a long time. In 18-20 minutes, the state of hot water loses only one degree.

Buy an acrylic bath is not difficult, especially since the price range suits any buyer.
  Existing following forms of acrylic baths:
  • Corner
  • Rectangular
  • Oval
  • asymmetrical.

The acrylic bath is preferred because of its light weight, ease of delivery and installation. And if you add to this the achievements of hydromassage systems, then the choice of acrylic bath is ensured.
