How to Choose a Bathtub: 6 Essential Tips

YL Bath

There are many factors to consider when buying a bathtub. To choose a suitable bathtub, you need to have a certain understanding of the bathtub product. In addition, you must have a clear understanding of the situation of your bathroom, including the size and style of the bathroom. Before buying a bathtub, you need to combine the situation of the bathroom and the product to make a good purchase plan to prevent yourself from being like a headless fly when buying in the market.

 

Bathtub Purchase 1. Regarding the Size and Shape

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

2. Bathtubs of the same size have different depths, widths, lengths and outlines. If you like deeper water, the location of the waste outlet should be higher;

3. For bathtubs with skirts on one side, pay attention to the direction of the skirts according to the location of the drain and the wall when purchasing. If you buy the wrong one, you cannot install it.

4. If you want to add a shower head on the bathtub, choose a slightly wider bathtub. The bathtub part below the shower position should be flat and should be anti-slip.

 

Bathtub Selection 2. About Materials

Since the manufacturing material basically determines the performance of the bathtub, When purchasing a bathtub, it is very important to determine the material you want. From the manufacturing material, it is generally divided into acrylic bathtubs, steel bathtubs and cast iron bathtubs. Bathtubs of different materials have their own characteristics.

1. Steel plate enamel bathtubs have a smooth surface and are easy to transport and carry, but they are not impact-resistant and have poor thermal insulation.

2. Cast iron bathtubs are sturdy and durable with high gloss and good acid and alkali resistance, but they are heavy and difficult to carry and install.

3. Acrylic bathtubs have a variety of shapes, light weight, and good thermal insulation effect, but due to their low hardness, scratches are easily produced on the surface. The current market share is relatively large.

4. Pearlescent bathtubs have a smooth surface and a pearl-like luster. They are sturdy and durable, have good thermal insulation, are light in weight and easy to install.

 

Bathtub Selection 3. Tips on Bathtub Selection

After determining the size, shape, and material of the bathtub, the following ten bathroom brands will talk about some tips for choosing a bathtub.

1. Compare thickness. You can knock on the bathtub to judge the thickness of the bathtub. The thicker the bathtub is, the less likely it will crack.

2. Listen to the sound. When buying a massage bathtub, you should also pay attention to the size of the motor sound. When buying a high-end bathtub, it is best to "test the water" when buying it, listen to the sound, and try the temperature.

3. Look at the glossiness. By looking at the surface gloss, you can understand the quality of the material, which is suitable for bathtubs of any material.

4. Touch the surface smoothness. It is suitable for steel plates and cast iron bathtubs, because both bathtubs need to be enamel-plated, and if the plating process is not good, there will be subtle ripples.

5. Test the firmness by hand and foot. The firmness of the bathtub is related to the quality and thickness of the material, which cannot be seen by visual inspection. You need to try it yourself, such as standing in it to see if there is a feeling of sinking.

6. Choose a brand bathtub. Generally speaking, famous brand bathroom products, such as bathtubs from the top ten bathroom brands, can reassure consumers in terms of quality and after-sales service.
