First, what are the materials of the bathtub
1. Cast iron
Cast iron bathtub is made of cast iron and coated with enamel, so the weight is very large and it is not easy to produce noise when used. Because the casting process is more complex, the cast iron bathtub is generally a single shape and the price is very expensive.
2. Acrylic
Made of organic materials, rich shape, light weight and smooth surface, will not rust erosion, due to slow heat conduction, so it can maintain water temperature for a long time, is currently the mainstream product on the market. However, the acrylic bathtub has poor pressure resistance, is easy to be scratched by hard objects, and is also prone to yellow aging after a long time of use.
3. Steel plate
Is the traditional material of manufacturing bathtub, steel cylinder is made of the whole thickness of about 2 mm bathtub special steel plate by stamping molding, the surface is then made of enamel treatment, it has wear-resistant, heat resistant, pressure resistance and other characteristics, weight between cast iron cylinder and acrylic cylinder, insulation effect is lower than cast iron cylinder, but the service life is long, the overall cost performance is higher.
4. Wood
Made of solid wood, the surface will be brushed with a layer of tung oil, to prevent the effect of water seepage. The wooden bathtub is natural and environmentally friendly, especially suitable for soaking medicinal bath, and has excellent thermal insulation, lightweight, no installation, and it is convenient to move.
