Ceramic bathtubs have become obsolete due to their bulkiness, expense and fragility, and have been replaced by materials such as acrylic, cast iron enamel, and steel enamel.
The surface of the acrylic material is polymethylpropionate, and the back is made of resin plaster and glass fiber to enhance the carrying capacity. The thickness is usually 3 to 10 mm. Its advantages are: easy forming, slow heat dissipation, good heat preservation performance, water temperature can be maintained for a long time, no icy feeling on the surface, warm touch, easy scrubbing and cleaning, etc., light weight, easy installation, and rich color change Due to the above characteristics, acrylic bathtubs are cheaper to manufacture. The disadvantage of this material is that it is easy to hang dirty, not resistant to abrasion, and after using for some time, the surface is easy to appear gray.
The steel bathtub is formed by a certain thickness of steel plate, and then the surface is plated with enamel. Features are: easy to shape, cheap to build. Because its surface is enamel, it is not easy to hang dirty, easy to clean, not easy to fade, and lasting gloss.
The cast iron bathtub is also a traditional bathtub material, which is similar to the manufacturing method of the steel plate bathtub, except that the basic material used is cast iron. The most outstanding advantage of cast iron bathtub is that it is strong and wear-resistant; the disadvantage is that the insulation performance is poor, and it will become cold soon after being put in hot water. The weight of cast iron is considerable, so it is difficult to handle and install. Because of these various factors, the price of cast iron bathtubs and acrylic bathtubs is much more expensive. Only a few manufacturers produce, such as: Dong Tao, Kohler.
The wooden tub bathtub is made of cedar wood, and the surface is the original color wooden board. At the bottom of the wooden barrel is a wooden board higher than the bottom, which is used for sitting in the shower. Some barrels have massage jets on each side, which can massage people's back and neck. The wooden tub bathtub is made of pure solid wood, with a compact structure and a good feel. After carving by precision CNC machine tools and manual polishing of more than 40 processes, high-grade paint is sprayed to ensure long-lasting pores. Makes people feel closer to nature.
