Before your renovation, you have know the kinds of materials you want to buy, such as bathtub. What do you know about bathtub. We will briefly introduce it here.
1. Type:
Ordinary bathtub: it only has the simple function of water bath.
Jacuzzi: it has the kinetic energy of massage, and the Jacuzzi is composed of a cylinder and a massage system. The massage system is the key of the jacuzzi.
2. Style:
According to whether the upper exit part is with or without edge, it is divided into two styles: with skirt and without skirt.
No skirt bathtub: the style is relatively simple, suitable for very simple decoration, and the skirt bathtub has smooth lines and good decoration.
Skirt bathtub: the advantage is that it looks good, has special decoration and good thermal performance.
3. Shape and size.
Rectangular bathtub: the main length is 1.7m and 1.5m. Of course, the bathtub can also be customized according to the demand, but the size of 1.7m is the most used.
Circular bathtub: the circular bathtub is generally large, with a diameter of about 1.5-2 meters. It is not recommended to start with small houses. This bathtub is suitable for bathrooms with larger space and large water consumption.
Oval bathtub: Oval bathtub is similar to square bathtub, but there is a special oval bathtub, also known as bath barrel, which is relatively high, generally 0.7m.
4. Material analysis:
Cast iron bathtub: cast iron is an extremely durable material. Bathtubs produced from it can usually be used for more than 50 years. Many cast iron bathtubs are used for generations abroad. There is a smooth, firm and dense enamel layer on the surface, which is easy to clean and difficult to retain dirt.
Disadvantages: due to the high production cost, the price of cast iron bathtub is generally high, the shape is monotonous, there are few color choices, and the thermal insulation is general. Due to the material, the weight is heavy and it is difficult to install and transport.
Acrylic bathtub: acrylic is made of synthetic resin material acrylic as raw material, and the texture is quite light. Because the acrylic material is soft and easy to process, the shape and color of this kind of bathtub are quite rich, and consumers have a wider choice. Acrylic bathtub is a common bathtub in the market. It can be made into many shapes, mainly easy to carry and light in weight.
Disadvantages: the disadvantage of acrylic bathtub is that the surface is easy to produce scratches, which affects the beauty.
Steel plate enamel bathtub: the steel plate bathtub is firm and durable. It is usually made of steel plate with a thickness of 1.5-3mm, so the weight is much lighter than the cast iron bathtub. The surface finish is quite high. This bathtub has a smooth surface and is easy to handle.
Disadvantages: the disadvantage of steel plate ceramic bathtub is that it is not resistant to impact, and the thermal insulation effect is not good, and the utilization rate in life is not high. Due to the production process, the shape of the steel bathtub is monotonous, the thermal insulation effect is very poor, and the water injection noise of the bathtub is large. Many steel bathtubs on the market use insufficient steel plate thickness, which will sink under load-bearing conditions. If the enamel layer on the surface is excessively impacted during transportation and use, glaze explosion will occur, resulting in rust of the cylinder block and failure to use.
Wooden bathtub: it is spliced by wooden boards, and the outside is clamped by iron rings. It has the natural color and smell of wood and has the interest of returning to nature. The utility model has the advantages of strong thermal insulation, deep cylinder body, complete immersion in every part of the body, and can be customized according to the actual requirements.
Disadvantages: the price is high and maintenance is required to prevent water leakage and deformation.
