The advantages of bathtubs made of different materials：
The common types of household bathtubs can be classified by material into cast iron bathtubs, acrylic bathtubs, steel plate bathtubs, wooden bathtubs, ceramic bathtubs, etc. By style: It can be divided into skirtless vats and skirted vats. By shape: It can be divided into heart-shaped, circular, oval, rectangular, triangular, etc. By function: It is divided into ordinary bathtubs.
The bathtub has always been a symbol of a quality life. With the improvement of people's living standards, bathtubs have become a comfortable experience that people yearn for and pursue. From functional bathtubs, folding bathtubs to regular bathtubs, bathtubs with different functions meet people's diverse needs. Common materials for bathtubs include cast iron, acrylic, wood, nanomaterials, etc. The various shapes also echo the different styles of bathrooms very well. Today, the our will take you all into the world of bathtubs.
With the improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for bathroom products are getting higher and higher. Bathtubs have become an important tool for people to take baths and relax their bodies and minds in daily life, so they cannot be ignored when purchasing. There are more and more types and brands of bathtubs. However, no matter what, when choosing a bathtub, certain principles should be followed. Below, I will introduce to you the advantages and disadvantages of several different material bathtubs. I hope it will be helpful to you.
1. Acrylic bathtub
This kind of bathtub is made of artificial organic materials. Its main features are rich shapes,
light weight, good surface smoothness and relatively low price. However, due to the poor high-temperature resistance and pressure resistance of artificial organic materials, they are not wear-resistant, which leads to the disadvantage of easy aging.
2. Cast iron bathtub
This kind of bathtub is made of cast iron and coated with enamel on its surface, so it is relatively heavy and should not produce noise when in use. Due to the complex casting process, cast iron bathtubs usually have a relatively simple shape, but they are very expensive.
Advantages: Durable, low noise when filling water, and easy to clean; Disadvantages: High price, heavy weight, and difficult installation and transportation.
3. Wooden bathtub
This kind of bathtub is generally made of hard wood with high density and excellent anti-corrosion performance,
such as spruce, oak, pine, cedar, etc. Among the solid wood bathtubs on the market, cedar is the most common material. According to some .
4.Four. Steel plate bathtub
This bathtub is made of traditional materials. It is formed by stamping a whole piece of special steel plate for bathtubs with a thickness of about 2 millimeters and then treated with enamel on the surface. It has multiple features such as wear resistance, heat resistance and pressure resistance. Its weight is between that of cast iron bathtubs and acrylic bathtubs. Its heat preservation effect is lower than that of cast iron bathtubs, butits service life is relatively long and the overall cost performance is relatively high. So nowadays, many students prefer steel plate bathtubs when decorating their homes. Advantages: This bathtub is relatively inexpensive, lightweight and easy to install. Disadvantages: Poor heat preservation effect, loud noise when filled with water, and relatively monotonous shape.
Steel plate bathtubs are made of steel plates of a certain thickness, with a surface coated with enamel. They are not prone to dirt accumulation, easy to clean, do not fade easily, have a lasting luster, and are easy to shape with a low cost. However, due to the thinness of the steel plates, their insufficient strength, high noise level, easy surface delamination and poor thermal insulation performance, some have added insulation layers. Cast iron bathtubs have a long service life, high grade and are easy to clean. Due to the thick walls of the bathtubs, they also have excellent heat preservation performance. Moreover, the cast iron cylinder has a good luster and the longest service life among the three types of cylinders.
Cast iron bathtubs have better acid and alkali resistance and wear resistance than similar products. Their weight is also considerable, so they are difficult to move and install. Due to many factors, cast iron bathtubs are much more expensive than acrylic and steel plate bathtubs, and they are the most expensive.
The market share of acrylic bathtubs is relatively large. The surface of acrylic material is methyl propionate, and the back is made of resin gypsum and glass fiber. Its advantage lies in that it is easy to form. Good heat preservation performance; Good gloss; Light weight and easy to install; The color changes are rich. Due to the above characteristics, acrylic bathtubs are relatively inexpensive. However, compared with ceramic and enamel surfaces, the disadvantages of this material are that it is prone to dirt accumulation, makes a lot of noise when filled with water, has poor heat resistance, is not wear-resistant, and its surface is prone to aging and discoloration. But imported acrylic tanks are only of relatively better quality.
The materials of wooden bathtubs include nanmu, cypress, oak, fir, pine, etc. Nanmu bath buckets have the best overall performance, but they are rarely seen in the market. Pine and fir wood bath buckets are prone to moisture, blackening and mold, and their overall performance is relatively poor. Wooden bath buckets have the advantages of heat preservation, environmental friendliness, small floor space, easy cleaning, long service life and convenient installation. The disadvantage is that they are prone to cracking when exposed to long-term dryness. Therefore, if they are not used for a long time, some water should be added to the bucket. .
