How To Choose A Bathtub?

When choosing a bathtub, you should first understand the situation of your bathroom, including the size, pattern and layout of the product. The choice of bathtub should be determined according to the size of bathroom, and coordinate with other sanitary ware according to the pattern. In addition, if there are old people or children at home, it is best to choose a lower edge or embedded bathtub to facilitate their bathing. If it is an exclusive private bathtub, you can choose it according to your height,

When choosing a bathtub, we should mainly consider the following four aspects: style, material, size and shape.

（1） Style and material

1. In addition to the traditional bathtub, many people now choose the jacuzzi. Jacuzzi is divided into three types: vortex type, bubble type and vortex bubble combination type. It should be clear when buying;

2. The main materials of bathtub are acrylic, steel plate and cast iron. Among them, cast iron is of high grade, followed by acrylic and steel plate. Ceramics, as the absolute mainstream of bathtub in the past, can hardly be seen in the market now;

3. The quality of bathtub material mainly depends on whether the surface is smooth and smooth and whether the hand touch is smooth. Especially for steel plate and cast iron bathtub, if the enamel plating is not good, there will be slight ripples on the surface;

4. The quality and thickness of the material are related to the firmness of the bathtub, which can not be seen by visual inspection. It needs to be pressed by hand and stepped on by foot. If there is a feeling of subsidence, it indicates that the hardness is not enough. Of course, before stepping on it, we can win the consent of the merchants.

5. Acrylic bathtub is more common, not easy to rust, easy to form; However, due to low hardness, scratches are easy to occur on the surface. The bottom of the acrylic bathtub usually has glass fiber to strengthen the supporting capacity of the bottom. It also has the advantages that the water temperature can be maintained for a long time, the heat preservation effect is good, and it is easy to scrub and clean. Based on the above characteristics, the cost of acrylic bathtub is relatively cheap, and acrylic bathtub is the most in the market.

（2） Size and shape

1. The size of the bathtub should be determined according to the size of the bathroom. If it is determined to install the bathtub in the corner, generally speaking, the triangular bathtub takes up more space than the rectangular bathtub;

2. Bathtubs with the same size have different depth, width, length and contour. If you like bathtubs with deeper water depth, the position of waste outlet should be higher;

3. For a bathtub with skirt on one side, pay attention to the direction of the skirt according to the position of the water outlet and the wall. If you buy it wrong, you can’t install it.

4. If you need to add a shower nozzle on the bathtub, the bathtub should be a little wider, and the bathtub under the shower position should be flat and anti-skid.

5. The plate is the most important part of the bathtub. Carefully observe the gloss, smoothness and thickness of the product plate when purchasing. Once the plate has problems, the whole set of products may be scrapped. In addition, the cylinder block is the material in direct contact with the body skin during bathing, so pay special attention to smoothness to avoid scratching the skin; First touch the cylinder block with your hand to see if it is smooth, and take a closer look to see if there are particles, etc.
