How to choose a bathtub and how to choose a practical bathtub?

Step Method.

1. Distinguish the material:

Steel bathtub: Because its surface is enamel, it is not easy to hang dirty, easy to clean, not easy to fade, and has a long-lasting luster. But due to that.

The steel plate is particularly thin and the thermal insulation performance is not good, so some also add an insulation layer. The surface of the enamel is not resistant to impact and has poor heat preservation.

Cast iron bathtub: easy to maintain, not easy to make noise when used. Due to the thickness of the cylinder wall, the insulation performance is good, the gloss is high, and the acid and alkali resistance is good. Moreover, the cast iron cylinder has good gloss, and the service life is the longest among several cylinders, and it is also the most expensive.

Acrylic bathtub: changeable shape, light weight, good thermal insulation effect. The disadvantage is that artificial organic materials have poor high temperature resistance, no wear resistance, and the surface is easy to age, and it is easy to change color. Due to the low hardness, the surface is prone to scratches.

Pearlescent bathtub: smooth surface and pearl-like luster, durable, good heat preservation, light weight, easy to install.

2. Calculate the area:

Bathtubs of the same size have different depths, widths, lengths and contours. If you like the water depth point, the position of the overflow outlet should be higher, if it is too low, once the water level exceeds this height, the water will flow outward from the overflow outlet, and the water depth of the bathtub is difficult to reach the required depth; If there are elderly or disabled people at home, it is best to choose a lower side position, and you can also install handrails in appropriate positions.

If you want to buy a skirt, it is generally a single-sided skirt, and you should pay attention to the direction of the skirt. Depending on the location of the drain and the wall, decide whether to choose the left skirt or the right skirt. If you buy the wrong one, you can't install it.

3. Fixed function:

If you're on a loose budget, consider a jacuzzi. Jacuzzi massages muscles, relieves pain and rejuvenates joints. There are three types of jacuzzis:

Vortex to rotate the bathing water; bubble type, which pumps air into the water; Combined, combining the above two characteristics. However, it is necessary to carefully choose a model that meets the safety standards, and ask a professional to install it on your behalf. It's best to "test the waters" when buying, listen to the sound, and test the temperature; Buy a jacuzzi with skirts, if there is a problem with the motor, it is easy to disassemble and repair.

4. Clever installation:

If you need to add a shower head on top of the bathtub, then choose a slightly wider bathtub to avoid splashing outside; Choose a style with a non-slip finish to ensure safety. There are two types of shower heads: wall-mounted and in-wall, and the wall-mounted type is more suitable for home use. It is worth mentioning that the sprinkler head and accessories of the bathtub, like the toilet and basin accessories, must be selected as supporting products.

The selection of its appearance is largely the same as that of other bathroom products.

Precautions In addition, after the bathtub is installed, it needs frequent maintenance to prolong his life. Clean the bathtub at least once a week to ensure it stays dry after each use; When washing, you can use neutral liquid detergent and use flexible cloth or good sponge; Do not use abrasive and strong alkaline cleaning products; Avoid using dark-coloured detergents as pigments may penetrate the tank surface; If the bathtub is damaged, it should be repaired immediately to prevent the problem from worsening; Do not leave metal objects in the bathtub as they can rust and stain the surface.

First of all, the size and shape of the bathtub are determined according to the area and specific shape of the bathroom. At this time, you should listen to the designer's opinions and choose a place with a reasonable location and a relatively small space for the bathtub.

No matter what material you want to choose, the tank you choose should be thick, durable, and have a smooth, fine inner wall. There are no scratches and cracks, and it has a good load-bearing capacity.

If there are no special requirements, it is better to have a single function of the bathtub. When you buy a jacuzzi, you should pay attention to the amount of noise and whether the massage area is suitable for your body type. Sometimes, if the noise of the motor is too loud, it will not only be unenjoyable, but will become a burden.

In addition, it is best to have a skirted and purely imported jacuzzi, which is convenient and reassuring to use.

The bottom of the bathtub should have a non-slip treatment, which can increase the safety of the bathtub.

If you prefer to immerse yourself in deep water, you should pay attention to checking the height of the outlet.

Also keep an eye on the weight of the bathtub and consider whether your own bathroom floor can withstand it.

Choose according to the size of the space, it is best to choose acrylic to feel more comfortable, and if the space is large, you don't mind choosing a surfing type.

1. Consider the overall effect of the bathroom.

When buying a bathtub, you should consider the overall effect of the bathtub in the bathroom with other sanitary ware. It is best to match the color of the bathtub and washbasin, or not to deviate too much. The style and color should be able to blend into the style of the bathroom.

2. Choose a bathtub according to the size of the bathroom area.

When choosing a bathtub, consider how large the bathroom is, and choose a bathtub that matches the size of the bathroom. If the area of the bathroom is relatively small, you can consider choosing a bathtub when choosing. If the size of the bathroom is relatively large, you can choose a bathtub.

If the bathroom is oversized, consider a double bathtub or a high-end Jacuzzi. If the size of the bathroom is very small, it is recommended not to choose a bathtub and consider setting up a shower.

3. Pay attention to the thickness of the bathtub.

The thickness of the bathtub will affect the insulation of the bathtub and will also affect the firmness of the bathtub. When buying a bathtub, touch the bathtub with your hands and feel the thickness of some of the tub. In addition, if the merchant allows, you can go up and try to step on it.

If the thickness of the bathtub is sufficient, it is guaranteed not to crack by stepping on.

4. The purchase of jacuzzi.

The jacuzzi belongs to a relatively high-end bathtub, after the selection of the professional staff to help us install, do not know how to install their own. Failures caused by self-installation are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. When choosing a jacuzzi, the key is to look at its engine, and choose an engine with low noise.

When you buy it, you can test it on the spot, open the bathtub, and listen to whether the noise is beyond your tolerance.

5. Look at the appearance.

When buying a bathtub, we should focus on the appearance of the bathtub, and when we buy, we should look at the quality of the glaze, whether the surface is smooth or not, how the color is, and whether there are needle eyes or bubbles. After seeing it, you have to touch it to see if its surface is really smooth, and then you have to knock on the bathtub to hear its sound crisp and crisp.

6. Don't ignore after-sales service.

Generally speaking, bathtubs are provided with free installation and 3 to 5 years of warranty service, when buying a bathtub we have to make their warranty terms clear, so that even if there is a problem with the bathtub in the future, we can better protect our interests.

Choosing a bathtub is first of all necessary to understand the type of bathtub. The bathtubs on the market are divided into acrylic bathtubs, steel plate bathtubs, cast iron bathtubs and other material bathtubs in terms of material. From the skirt, it is divided into unskirted cylinders and skirted cylinders. Functionally, it is divided into ordinary cylinders and massage cylinders.

1. According to the size of the bathroom, the location of the drain: if the bathroom area is small, you can choose a 1400mm, 1500mm bathtub or shower room; If the bathroom area is large, you can choose 1600mm, 1700mm as the bathtub, if the bathroom area is large enough, you can install a high-end jacuzzi and double bathtub, or an exposed bathtub.

2 Features of various bathtub products: Acrylic plastic bathtub: it will not rust, will not be eroded, and very light, this bathtub is made of thin sheet material, usually glass fiber underneath, processed by vacuum method, its thickness is from 3mm to 10mm, the advantage is that it is warm to the touch, can maintain the water temperature for a long time, and is easy to wipe clean.

Steel plate bathtub: it is hard and long-lasting, the surface is porcelain or enamel. The steel used to make bathtubs is usually 1 5mm to 3mm thick, and generally the thicker the stronger.

Cast iron bathtub: It is a very heavy and long-lasting material, the enamel on its surface is generally thinner than that on the FRP bathtub, and cleaning this bathtub should not use detergents containing abrasive ingredients. In addition, the disadvantage of a cast iron bathtub is that the water can get cold quickly.

In addition, there are artificial stone bathtubs, natural stone bathtubs, etc., which are not used much in the market.

I checked the Internet for the selection of the next bathtub with the following points, 01 water capacity:

Generally, the full water capacity is about 230 320L. When bathing, the water should be shoulderless. If the bathtub is too small, it is uncomfortable for people to curl up in it, and if it is too large, it will have a sense of instability in floating.

The height of the outlet determines the height of the water capacity. If the length of the toilet is insufficient, choose a bathtub with a larger width or deeper depth to ensure that the bathtub has sufficient water.

02 Gloss:

By looking at the surface gloss, we can understand the advantages and disadvantages of the material, which is suitable for any kind of bathtub. Cast iron enamel is considered to have the best finish.

03 Smoothness:

Whether the surface is smooth by hand is suitable for steel plate and cast iron bathtubs, because both bathtubs need to be enamel-plated, and the plating process is not good, and there will be subtle ripples.

04 Firmness:

Press with your hands and feet to test the firmness. The firmness of the bathtub is related to the quality and thickness of the material, which cannot be seen by visual inspection, and you need to try it yourself. Steel is a material that is relatively hard and durable, and steel bathtubs are covered with ceramic or enamel at the same time, so it is best to buy thicker steel bathtubs if you have the financial ability.

05 The skirt is divided into left and right:

The way to distinguish skirts is as follows: when facing the wall next to the bathtub, if the downspout is on the left side of the person, you need to buy a bathtub with a left skirt, and vice versa with a bathtub with a right skirt.

06 Choose a bathtub with anti-slip measures, especially for the elderly.

07 Generally speaking, bathtubs with hydromassage functions are larger than ordinary bathtubs, and they are taller. But it can bring enjoyment and comfort.

08 The length of the bathtub should match the space of the architectural design. It should also be suitable for the height of the user, generally 1300mm.

Choosing a reliable bathtub brand can ensure the quality and after-sales of the product, generally choose a ceramic bathtub, the shape is more diverse, the surface is smooth, and it is better than other materials. Pay attention to the quality of the ceramic body, some of them also look smooth, but if the firing process reaches a sufficient temperature and time, it is easy to seep water and affect the appearance and service life of subsequent use. The ceramic products of Liansu Sanitary Ware are fired at a high temperature of 1250 degrees for a long time to ensure that the water absorption rate is less than that.

The size of the bathtub should be measured according to the bathroom, and the square is used more, usually the length of the meter is enough.

If you want to choose a good bathtub, you have to start with its material.

Bathtubs can be divided into acrylic bathtubs, ceramic bathtubs, wooden bathtubs, etc.

1. Because the acrylic bathtub is easy to process, there are many styles, it is light and will not rust, it is easy to transport and install, it is relatively easy to keep warm, and it is not easy to bump into the body when used, and it is relatively cheap, so it is a more common type of bathtub.

2. The ceramic bathtub has a smooth and beautiful appearance, very durable, but it is afraid of bumps, and the bathtub is smooth, easy to slip if used carelessly, not suitable for the elderly and children, and more expensive.

3. The wooden bathtub is generally deeper, and it is more comfortable to take a bath, but its maintenance is more troublesome.

You can choose according to the decoration style of the interior and personal preferences. "
