What Material For My Bathtub: The Solid Surface

Because we do not change Marble Tub so often, it is better to think before choosing the material. Between acrylic, cast iron, steel, gelcoated resin concrete and solid surface, there are differences, not just price. In addition, there are modes: yesterday, we swore by the acrylic that, compared to steel and cast iron, had the advantage of lightness while allowing forms much more varied. Now there is the solid surface, which opened up new possibilities from the point of view of design. But there is also steel, very resistant and more and more beautiful and design. To follow, there is the advantages and disadvantages of all these materials, in detail.

The Cast Iron Bathtub: Ideal, Except For Its Weight

Because it keeps the heat and is indestructible, cast iron is probably the best material for the bath. But it is very heavy (about 100 kg for an empty standard size bath).

The Steel Bathtub: A Bad Reputation Unjustified

What Material For My Bathtub?

Synonymous with low end, the steel bathtub is certainly a bit sound, but this cannot justify its bad reputation. Especially as to mitigate the sound box effect, manufacturers offer effective noise dampers, to apply on the reverse side of the tank.

There are steel bathtubs, which offers a rather wide range but very classic in terms of design, even incorporating a hip bath. But it is especially among the manufacturers, two specialists in the steel bathtub, that the offer is most attractive, with catalogs offering many design models, including islets (count at least 400 € for a standard steel bathtub).

The acrylic bathtub: the most common today

What material for my bathtub? Acrylic, with this model Lightweight and anti-slip, acrylic is the leading material of the bath, obtained by thermoforming from a plate of 3 to 6 mm thick, heated to soften and then applied to a mold that gives it its shape. The mechanical resistance is obtained with a reinforcement, a board made of particle board, fixed under the bath by projection of glass fibers (or, in the case). The thickness of the acrylic sheet and the reinforcement depends on this mechanical strength. Prices are as variable as quality. At less than 250 $, make sure that the bathtub displays the NF mark, is signed by a renowned manufacturer and / or weighs at least 18 to 20 kg. Acrylic is not a self-supporting material: the bathtub is always placed on a metal base.
