Steel bath. How to choose?

For many, the bathroom is almost the only place where you can relax after a hard day, restore mental and physical strength, relax and relax. Moreover, at the present time the size and design of the bathrooms allow this place to be used for this purpose. The main place in the bathroom belongs directly to the bathroom. So, the main question is just not to make a mistake and choose the kind of bath that will suit you in all respects and satisfy all modern technical requirements.

So, let's try to understand the many different baths that exist in the plumbing market. It turns out that basically sanitary ware shops offer three main types: acrylic, cast iron and steel baths. Consumer testimonies speak eloquently that all three of these types are in demand. But what is much more difficult to understand is the variety of producers. And it's not easy to choose the shape of the bath itself, because at the moment any seller can offer you a huge assortment. And not necessarily the bath should be white, to which many of our compatriots are accustomed. Color, shape, material - it all depends on your own taste and financial capabilities.

But let's talk about the material. Since the shape and color refer more to the category of aesthetic, but much depends on the material from which the bath is made. In this article steel baths will become the main object of our close attention. First, we note all the advantages that can lead you to buy this particular option. Without a doubt, one of the main advantages (especially if you have a desire to do without buying a bathroom without large financial costs) is the price policy. Steel baths are relatively Inexpensive, and basically their price can fluctuate depending on the model's configuration, as well as, as already mentioned, from aesthetic delights. That is, the modern sanitary ware market is ready to offer you steel baths of unusual shapes (not familiar to us rectangular, but in the form of a rhombus, trapezium, semicircle, etc.), as well as a wide range of colors (which can harmonically coincide with the tiles of the room or vice versa Its background).

The low price for steel baths is predetermined by the fact that they are not cast, like cast iron, but are manufactured by punching. From here follows and the following advantage - their weight which makes somewhere 30-40 kg. Therefore, transport and install the purchase becomes much easier than cast iron. Steel baths have a good appearance due to the fact that they are covered with enamel, which also protects them from mechanical damage. Of the negative qualities, it is necessary to indicate imperfect sound attenuation, which, however, can be slightly eliminated using a mounting foam. Also, because of its light weight, the structure is considered not very stable and needs careful work with fasteners, more detailed attention when installing with types such as steel baths.

Russia, as one of the producers, mainly draws attention to the budgetary nature of this sanitary product, as a result of which quality may suffer. Therefore, if you find plastic legs in the bathtub assembly as a support, then it is better not to save and immediately refuse such a purchase. After all, as you know, the miser pays twice. To ensure full-fledged stability, experts advise using only a metal support. It should also be mentioned that the bath cools down as quickly as it heats up. That is, the heat of the steel bath holds definitely not as long as the acrylic. Another criterion, which you need to pay attention to - the thickness of the walls of the steel bath. If the thickness is not more than 2.5 mm, then the possibility of the product being likely to deform and the enamel to crack is great.

As you probably noticed, in the description of steel baths there are undoubted advantages, and, unfortunately, minuses. And the choice depends only on the needs and tastes of the buyer.
