Advantages and disadvantages of bathtub:
Acrylic bathtub
Acrylic bathtub: a large market share
Advantages: easy to shape; good heat preservation performance; good gloss; light weight, easy to install; rich in shape and color. Because of the above characteristics, the cost of acrylic bathtub is relatively cheap.
Disadvantages: Compared with ceramic and enamel surfaces, the disadvantages of acrylic materials are that they are easy to hang dirty, make noise during water injection, have poor high temperature resistance, are not wear-resistant, and are prone to aging and discoloration. However, the imported acrylic cylinders are only of relatively good quality.
Cast iron bathtub
Cast iron bathtub: made of cast iron, covered with enamel
Advantages: long service life, high grade, easy to clean, because of the thick cylinder wall, the heat preservation performance is also very good. Moreover, the cast iron cylinder has good gloss, and its service life is the longest among the three cylinders. The cast iron bathtub has better acid and alkali resistance and abrasion resistance than similar products.
Disadvantages: The weight is very considerable, so it is difficult to handle and install. Due to many factors, the price of cast iron bathtubs is much more expensive than that of steel bathtubs, and the price is the most expensive.
Steel bathtub
Steel bathtub: The steel tank is made of a whole piece of bathtub-specific steel plate with a thickness of about 2 mm, which is formed by stamping, and the surface is then enamel-treated.
Advantages: It has the characteristics of wear resistance, heat resistance, pressure resistance, etc., the weight is between the cast iron cylinder and the acrylic cylinder, the heat preservation effect is lower than that of the cast iron cylinder, but the service life is long, and the overall cost performance is higher. It is not easy to hang dirty, easy to clean, not easy to fade, long-lasting luster, easy to shape, and low cost.
Disadvantages: Because the steel plate is thin, the firmness is not enough, the noise is large, the surface is easy to peel off, and the heat preservation performance is not good, so some add heat preservation layer.
Wooden bathtub
Wooden bathtub: materials include nanmu, cypress, oak, cedar, pine, etc.
The overall performance of the nanmu bath barrel is the best, but it is rarely seen on the market. Pine and cedar bath tubs are prone to moisture, blackening, and mildew, and their overall performance is poor.
Advantages: It has the advantages of heat preservation, environmental protection, small footprint, easy cleaning, long life, and convenient installation.
Disadvantages: In the case of long-term dryness, it is easy to crack, so if it is not used for a long time, put some water in the bucket.
Jacuzzi
Jacuzzi: You can use circulating water for hydromassage, but you need to use electricity as an energy source
Advantages: The pulse massage bathtub is equipped with a signal generator that simulates the human body's frequency spectrum. The signal it sends is very similar to the human body's frequency spectrum. It produces resonance phenomenon and plays a role in activating the meridians. In addition to the massage function, some bathtubs are also equipped with computer boards, which can be installed with telephones, CD players and radios, and some bathtubs can be automatically cut off and filled with water under computer control.
Disadvantages: In addition to the high price of the jacuzzi, not only the area of the bathroom is required to be large, but also the requirements for water pressure, electricity and installation are very high.
